wccftech.com:

With the release of Intel's 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh closing in, European & Asian retailers have started to list the CPUs early on.

We have previously seen listings at Canadian and European retailers with the former showing prices on par with 13th Gen CPUs and the latter showing a 15% price difference. The latest 14th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs have now been listed by Spanish & Japanese retailers which show a slight markup over the existing 13th Gen parts.

Starting in Europe, Spanish retailer CoolMod has listed four of the six 14th-Gen Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs, including the highest-end Intel Core i9-14900K. Diving into individual prices, the i9-14900K has been listed for a whopping €799.96, along with the Core i5-14600K being retailed at €429.95.

Both models have been put up for sale at much higher prices than their predecessor models, The Core i9-14900KF in particular is listed at a whooping 32% more than the 13900KF while the Core i5-13600K is listed for a 26% higher price than the 13600K at this specific retailer. However, since Intel hasn't revealed official pricing yet, you shouldn't expect these figures as final ones.
