Initially, only K and KF models will appear
The Videocardz resource reports that its sources have revealed the launch date of the new Intel Raptor Lake Refresh processors. The advertising embargo will be lifted on October 16, meaning on this day Intel partners will be able to disclose various details about their products related to the new CPUs. On October 17, at 16:00 Moscow time, the embargo on reviews will be lifted. Sales start on the same day.
New and old Intel processors will be released on October 17, but not all
It is worth noting that these dates only apply to the top-end Core i9-14900K, Core 7-14700K, and Core i5-14600K models, as well as their F versions with the iGPU disabled. That is, as almost always in recent years, the top models of the new generation will hit the market first, and everyone else will have to wait.
However, let us remind you that in the Raptor Lake Refresh line, only Core i7 models will offer something conditionally new, which will have more cores than the 13th generation Core i7. In all other cases, we will only talk about increasing frequencies.
