This does appear to be the initial lineup for Intel’s Raptor Lake which is set to be announced sometime in late September during Intel’s Innovation Event.
Ryzen 7000 Pricing
The same retailer listed AMD’s upcoming Zen4 based CPUs a while back.
R5 7600X = 423.99CAD or $330R7 7700X = 613.99CAD or $479R9 7900X = 777.99CAD or $600R9 7950X = 1,140.99CAD or $900
This also turns out to be the initial lineup for AMD’s upcoming Zen4 which is expected to be confirmed on the 29th of August. When we compare the pricing for both these lineups, the results are rather interesting.
R5 7600X vs i5-13600K ($330 vs $355)R7 7700X vs i7-13700K ($479 vs $511)R9 7950X vs i9-13900K ($900 vs $726)
The results get more and more drastic as we move upwards. Is the R9 7950X going to be priced much higher than the i9-13900K? Probably not. However, performance wise, initial results show Intel’s silicon in lead.
Any Leaks Regarding the Performance?
Sadly, not many leaks have surfaced regarding Zen4’s performance. Experts now fear that Zen4 may lose out to Raptor Lake even in multi-core testing (AMD’s own territory). However, maybe a -X3D refresh may crush Raptor Lake on all fronts. But by then, we will see the release of the -KS lineup. Team red still leads in efficiency though.
Release Date
These CPUs are expected to be announced sometime in the last week of September with an official release date planned for October.
