Intel 14th Gen “Unlocked” CPUs Rumored To Launch On 17th October: Core i9-14900K, i7-14700K & i5-14600K

wccftech.com:

Intel is rumored to release its 14th Gen "Unlocked" Core i9-14900K, Core i7-14700K & Core i5-14600K CPUs next month in October.

According to Videocardz, Intel's 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh Desktop CPU lineup will go on sale in October which is a month after its initial unveil during the upcoming Innovation 2023 event. Details also reveal that Intel will ease up the ad embargo a day prior to launch with reviews hitting the very same day as retail availability.

We have seen this become a regular occurrence where Intel CPUs are usually released close to a month after their official unveil and reviews hitting the same day. The same was the case with the 13th Gen Raptor Lake family which was unveiled in September but sales commenced almost one month later. As far as dates are concerned, Videocardz mentions the following:

A very recent price listing suggests a +15% hike compared to the existing 13th Gen CPUs. The price list is based on preliminary data but if Intel is gunning to raise client CPU prices, then that could be very uncompetitive against the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs and even against Intel's own 12th and 13th Gen parts.
