Intel’s 13th generation Core processor line prices have appeared

In about a month, Intel will introduce a line of desktop and mobile processors based on an updated Raptor Lake chip. However, not all processors will be completely new, as some instances are rumored to use older silicon from the Alder Lake series.

If the preliminary list is to be believed, future Core i9-13900KS processors will cost $725. These are Intel’s first consumer desktop processors clocked at 6 GHz. The company hasn’t confirmed the name of the processors, but the successor Core i9-12900KS is almost guaranteed to be called 13900KS.

1. Core i9-13900KS: 24 cores, 32 threads 6.0 GHz – $725
2. Core i9-13900: 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.0-5.6 GHz – $615
3. Core i9-13900F: 24 cores, 32 threads, 2.0-5.6 GHz – $585
4. Core i7-13700: 16 cores, 24 threads, 2.1-5.2 GHz – $415
5. Core i7-13700F: 16 cores, 24 threads, 2.1-5.2 GHz – $390
6. Core i5-13500: 14 cores, 20 threads, 2.5-4.8 GHz – $258
7. Core i5-13400: 10 cores, 16 threads, 2.5-4.6 GHz – $245
8. Core i5-13400F: 10 cores, 16 threads, 2.5-4.6 GHz – $218
9. Core i3-13100: 4 cores, 8 threads, 3.4-4.5 GHz – $155
10. Core i3-13100F: 4 cores, 8 threads, 3.4-4.5 GHz – $125

Also listed are Core i9, Core i7, and Core i5 processors with 65W TDP. Pricing doesn’t make much sense here because their 65-watt output is listed at higher prices than their unlocked K-series counterparts. Of course, this is just an introductory price, and things may change soon.

Intel Core i9-13900KS and 65W models will be unveiled at the CES 2023 event in early 2023. The company will also introduce the new B760 series of midrange motherboards. However, all 13th and 12th-generation Core processors should also be compatible with the current 600 series motherboards.
