Intel’s 13th generation Core desktop CPUs will be released next week, and now appear to have appeared on the Amazon UK store. Hardware tipster @momomo_us found a total of four SKUs and cut a picture, and those items are now off the shelves.
According to the list, the Intel Core i9-13900KF (the flagship model without integrated graphics) is priced at £750 (about RMB 5,842.50). This SKU is the only one currently listed with all 24 cores (8P+16E), pricing that is about £150 higher than when the i9-12900K was launched in the UK (about RMB 1168.50). This pricing is about £150 (~RMB 1168.5) higher than the i9-12900K when it was launched in the UK, and the current price of the i9-12900KF is about £609 (~RMB 4744.11).
It’s worth noting that the £750 price is about the same as the i9-12900KS (a special edition at 5.5GHz) on launch day.
In addition, the Intel Core i7-13700K is priced at £547 (~RMB 4261.13) and its F model is priced at £517 (~RMB 4027.43), which is expected to be priced £120-137 higher than the previous generation (i7-12700K is around £410 and i7-12700KF is around £397).
Finally, the 14-core SKU known as the i5-13600KF is priced at £350 (about RMB 2726.50), also higher than the current £273 (about RMB 2126.67) i7-12600KF.
These are most likely not the final prices for the 13th generation Core series in the UK, but just a placeholder. In addition, the fact that Amazon is starting to stock the new series so early may indicate that Intel will lift the pre-order embargo soon.
The sources say Intel’s 13th generation Core processors will be released in the early hours of September 28th, Beijing time, and will be available on October 20th, with the first listed models including the i9, i7, and i5 K-series models. 13 generation Core i9K models will be available for pre-order in China after the September 28th release, and after that, there seems to be a domestic launch on October 13th, when the i7K and i5K models will be available for pre-order. models will be available for pre-order.
