Intel's 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs are just a few hours away from their official introduction and the prices of the Core i9-13900K, Core i7-13700K, & Core i5-13600K chips have been leaked by Newegg.
Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPU Newegg Prices: Core i9-13900K(F) For $630 US, Core i7-13700K(F) For $430 US, Core i5-13600K(F) For $309 US
Considering that Newegg has always listed prices at MSRP for Intel CPUs in the past, we can more or less see these as the final retail pricing in the US. As expected, Intel will first be announcing three chips as a part of the Raptor Lake-S family and all of these chips will feature an unlocked "K" design which means that overclocking will be enabled. The prices are as listed below:
- Intel Core i9-13900K - $659.99 US (Core i9-12900K - $589.00 US MSRP)
- Intel Core i7-13700K - $449.99 US (Core i7-12700K - $409.00 US MSRP)

Intel 13th Gen 'Raptor Lake' CPUs Launch & Availability
As for launch and availability, the Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Desktop CPUs are expected to launch alongside the 700-series chipset family today at the Innovation event. The following is the latest embargo for 13th Gen CPUs:
Raptor Lake-S Processors and Intel® Z790 Chipset: Enthusiast Consumer K and KF SKUs only
- Product Introduction Embargo Date: 27 Sep 2022 @ 09:20am PT (Intel Innovation’22)
- Sales Embargo Date: 20 Oct 2022 @ 06:00am PT
The shelve launch is positioned for 20th October which will be around a month after the next-gen AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs. Both AMD & Intel are known to push out their premium offerings first before moving into the mainstream/budget segment so expect Intel to introduce 'K' unlocked parts and Z790 boards before venturing into the non-K lineup.
