Already Up For Grabs
PC-Canada, known for listing PC components weeks before launch has the i9-13900KS listed for 971.99 Canadian Dollars. This translates to roughly $750. In addition, we also see various 65W RL SKUs. The CPUs listed are as follows:
i3-13100F | 168.99 CAD or $125i3-13100 | 205.99 CAD or $150i5-13400F | 291.99 CAD or $215i5-13400 | 328.99 CAD or $245i5-13500 | 343.99 CAD or $255i7-13700F | 519.99 CAD or $390i7-13700 | 556.99 CAD or $415i9-13900F | 781.99 CAD or $580i9-13900 | 818.99 CAD or $610i9-13900KS | 971.99 CAD or $725
These CPUs appear to be decently priced at pose a real threat to AMD’s Ryzen 7000 non-X CPUs. The i3-13100 in particular is tipped to become the fastest quad-core CPU in the world, overtaking the i3-12100. Either way, since these SKUs are paired with the 13900KS, expect them to be unveiled during CES 2023.
Release Date
The first week of January will be full of news for the tech world. We expect to see all major giants unveil their latest products at this event. Intel may showcase the 65W RL CPUs along with the i9-13900KS and the B760 motherboard. One should note that buying a new 700 series motherboard isn’t necessary since Raptor Lake is supported on the 600 series motherboards as well.
