Pricing information for the Raptorlake Refresh has flowed. Tom’s Hardware reports. The price of Raptor Lake Refresh is said to be regarding 16% higher than Raptor Lake on average for all models. The K series of Raptor Lake Refresh is said to have an average of 3% higher performance than the same model of Raptor Lake. In the original article, this does not justify the 15% price tag. Intel 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh Price* Core i9-14900K/KFCore i9-14900K is said to be 15.8% higher than Core i9-13900K, and Core i9-14900KF is said to be 13.8% higher than Core i9-13900KF. The Core i9-14900K will be priced close to the special specification 13900KS. The pricing makes sense as the rumored specs say the Core i9-14900K is basically a slightly overclocked Core i9-13900KS. In the original article, the Core i9-14900K was evaluated as above, but from my point of view, considering the rarity, the one-year evolution, and the advanced features of Meteor Lake that will be introduced to mobile phones, it is a bargain. I don’t feel much. The Core i9-13900K is a highly rare selection product, and I think the price can be justified with the premium performance, but the 16% price increase for the regular model with a 3% improvement in performance is a bit unacceptable. I think I thought it would be exactly the same price. AM4 is the most popular on Amazon in the United States, but I think it’s because AM5 and Intel platforms are overpriced? Considering that, I feel that it will not sell more at this price. Japan has been in deflation for a long time, so I think there are many people who feel the same as I do, unlike the United States. I think the religious beliefs of Intel believers in Japan will be tested as to whether the price increase for Raptor Lake Refresh is justified. I would like all Intel believers who have dedicated their lives to Intel to donate. I feel like this is a product that I would not recommend to others. Core i7-14700K/KF Core i7-14700K/KF is said to be 14.1% higher than Core i7-13700K/KF at 14700K and 15.2% higher at 14700KF. The Core i7-14700K/KF has four more E-cores than the Core i7-13700K/KF, so the price is relatively easy to justify. There may not be many people here who will be dissatisfied. However, in the Japanese market, there has been a trend for a long time that it is natural for the price to remain the same as the previous generation. Considering this point, I have to say that it is subtle. According to nVIDIA’s CEO, “Moore’s Law is over”, but Intel, where Mr. Gordon Moore, who once advocated this law, was enrolled, also thinks that “Moore’s Law is dead.” maybe. The Core i5-14600K/KF middle range Core i5-14600K/KF is said to improve the price by 15.2% for the K model and 13.1% for the KF model. As for the performance, the 200MHz clock has only increased, so this is also quite expensive. Unfortunately, the number of users who are sensitive to price is increasing from this model, so there are more users who think regarding how much it is worth by comparing performance and price, not just performance. . In the original article, there is an expression that users who use a single GPU will feel less expensive if they switch from the Core i5-13600K to the Core i5-14700KF. I was. In any case, I don’t think it’s a reason to accept the transfer from Core i5-13600K/KF. I think Core i9 has users who want the highest performance and pay for performance. The Core i7 has 4 more E-cores, so it’s easy to understand and the performance has improved. I think this pricing is fatal for Core i5, which requires a balance between performance and price. Summary According to Intel’s performance estimates, the average performance improvement from Raptor to Refresh is 1% to 3%. MSI is also making similar predictions. Looking at the 14700K/KF with 4 more E-cores, I felt that this price increase might not be justified. In particular, I don’t feel that users who have purchased AlderLake or Raptorlake will bother to switch. It’s a shame because I thought the price would stay the same. On the other hand, Arrowlake is said to have a maximum performance of +21% and iGPU performance of +100%, which is doubled, so as I have written over and over once more, if you switch , I think the timing is Arrowlake. Well, Intel believers, please buy it as a donation. I will not deny that. This will be the last upgrade path for those using the LGA1700, but the average +16% price increase is unacceptable. What is the socket deferment for when you see the old Raptor Lake Refresh compared to mobile? I can’t help but think. Looking at the Raptor Lake Refresh once more, whether or not to buy it depends on how much you value the single-threaded performance improvement. Single thread performance improvement is directly related to FPS improvement, so when comparing single and multi, if you feel value in performance improvement of 3% of single thread, some people may judge that this price is “yes” I can’t. However, I think they are in the minority, especially in Japan. Finally, a little defense for Intel. In the United States, all costs are rising due to interest rates and inflation exceeding 4%. It will be very difficult to keep prices unchanged when all costs for production are going up. It is said that when wages rise, prices also rise accordingly, so in the United States there is a movement to put the brakes on wage increases in order to curb inflation. Also, in the United States, the CPI is already lower than the interest rate, so I feel that this will stabilize the price a little. However, in the United States, the delay rate of personal loans has exceeded the time of the Lehman shock, and the Great Depression will come from here? It is also predicted, so I will add it. Rising prices are not only hitting ordinary people, but also companies. It may be difficult to keep the price unchanged in this high price. Rising fuel costs, which especially affect logistics, can put considerable upward pressure on prices. In addition, the yen is weak in Japan, so it seems difficult to maintain the current price. Let me just add that this is not just an Intel story. 13th generation intelCore i5/7/9 series Intel ¥89,800 (as of 2023/08/28 04:01:18 Amazon research – details) Intel ¥91,180 (as of 2023/08/28 04:01:18 Amazon research – details) Intel ¥65,980 (as of 2023/08/28 04:01:19 Amazon research – details) Intel ¥61,480 (as of 2023/08/28 04:01:20 Amazon research – details) Intel ¥49,480 (2023/08/28 04 : As of 01:21 Amazon research – details) Intel ¥ 47,780 (As of 2023/08/28 04:01:22 Amazon research – details) * Please note that models with an F at the end do not have a GPU.
