Intel Raptor Lake processors are expected to launch later this year and we expect them to deliver a significant performance boost over their 12th generation counterparts. However, it appears that these new processors are more expensive than the company’s current best gaming processors that have been released.
A report from Nikkei Asia (via Tom’s Hardware) claims that Intel will increase component prices across the board later this year, which could affect its upcoming Raptor Lake processors. These increases are expected to drop in Q4 2022, but no one can be sure what impact this will have on individual SKU pricing.
According to Nikkei Asia, Intel cites “inflationary pressures” as the reason for the upcoming price increase, and the company has now started notifying customers of its price increase plans.
It’s unclear if Red Team will follow Intel’s lead and make its AMD Ryzen 7000 processors more expensive than their 5000-series counterparts, making upgrading the CPU inside a gaming PC expensive no matter what. chip brand of your choice. For now, it’s best to take this news with hope and a pinch of salt.
