Quote from: Anonymousgg on September 05, 2022, 19:32:00Raptor Lake could hold budget price points and volume with chips like the i5-13400 and 13500. Unless they come out a lot later than 13600K+ and coincide with some budget AM5 release (Rembrandt?) and A620.

According to some rumors, 13500 and 13400 actually use 12th gen core despite the 13000 series branding. If this is indeed true, 13600K is the cheapest Intel worth buying.

Pricing of 13600K vs 7700 will be really interesting.

MLID literally sits in his mom's basement making stuff up.  Please stop citing him.  Anyone can look at the historical price trends on the i9's and see that the 13900K will likely be about $600 or so.

I would not quote Moore's Law is Dead as an reliable source. He gets stuff mostly wrong. You can see that if you go to any of his old videos and fact checking him. Most notoriously, he advised people to sell their GPUs just  before GPU apocalypse and when it had happened, he still doubled down and thought that selling RTX 2080 Ti for 500 euros was a good idea.

Good. This is why competition is good for consumers, so one company can't have a monopoly on the industry and take customers for everything in their wallets.

Why not issue 10kW CPUs to claim greater speeds and justify greater prices?;)
