The new Raptor Lake Refresh will be released in different stages spread over several months, but every processors are now known.
Officially, Intel never intended to publicly release this information regarding the entire Raptor Lake Refresh lineup, and it all came from an unfortunate mistake.
Unofficially, this allows Intel to talk a little more about its 14-inch processors.e generation. Moreover, it is a success, since we in turn relay this list of processors.
A total of 26 Raptor Lake Refresh processors!
You should actually know that Intel has the habit of publishing product change notifications in order to detail the modifications made to certain of its products. The idea is, for example, to notify Intel’s partners (resellers and integrators) when a reference changes so that they are correctly informed.
As it happens, Intel has released a third version of its LGA1700 socket trays. This change should be effective from October 25, although, as always, Intel will continue to ship the previous version as long as stocks remain. In reality, this change is of no importance to us end users.
What is of relative importance, however, is when Intel messes up and communicates the full list of processors linked to its LGA1700 sockets, because, of course, we find the Alder Lake and Raptor Lake there, but also the Raptor Lake Refresh .
A notable absentee, the Core i9-14900KS?
The 12e and 13e generations of Intel processors are nothing new: they date from fall 2021 and fall 2022 respectively. On the other hand, the Raptor Lake Refresh, the 14e generation, are not yet available, and many models have not even been made official.
Until now, Intel has only clearly communicated on the release of the first 6 Raptor Lake Refresh references, the Core i5 14600K/KF, Core i7 14700K/KF and Core i9 14900K/KF. On the list which has more or less been “leaked”, we find the references of 26 processors… That seems to make a small difference!
From this list, our colleagues from VideoCardz have drawn up a table of the characteristics of the range from the beefy Core i9-14900K to the more modest Intel 300 with, however, one notable absence. Indeed, there is no mention of a Core i9-14900KS, a “special edition” like Intel was able to produce on the 12e and 13e generations.
