Raptor Lake Refresh processors are around the corner, even if Intel hasn’t officially unveiled them yet. Document leak Product change notification confirms all models to be put on sale and its availability.

This Intel document serves as a regular source of information on new developments in the processor catalog. It usually includes the introduction of new models, revisions of active versions and the usual discontinuation of previous series. In this case, the leaked PCN “119696-00” serves as a warning to retailers, system integrators, and OEMs buying processors in bulk that an update is available, in this case “revision 3” for CPUs using the LGA1700 socket.

Intel says there that the updated models will start shipping on October 25th. The list includes reviews of the current Alder Lake and Raptor Lake desktop lines, but also Complete line of Core 14th Gen which the company has not yet disclosed.

List of Raptor Lake Refresh processors

The list is almost entirely consistent with previous external leaks and includes models The entry-level 300 series, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9 for enthusiasts with the Core i9-14900K as the top of the line, with 24 cores (including 8 high-performance) and 32 threads, operating frequencies from 3.2 GHz to 6 GHz and TDP consumption set at 125 watts.

To say that Intel does not even include the Core i9-14900KS, as it is to be launched later, in 2024. This is a special edition that will lead this new series in terms of performance, with excellent values ​​​​in the frequency that can reach up to 6, 2 GHz.

We remember that Raptor Lake Refresh (as its last name suggests) is not a new architecture, although Intel markets it as the 14th generation, but rather Improved review of the entire Raptor Lake for desktop computers, with an increased operating frequency and RAM support extended to DDR5-6400 as the only improvement.
