But there could be a silver lining.
The launch of Intel’s upcoming 14th Gen Raptor Lake refresh series is drawing closer and that means the leakers are coming out to play. Some leaks are more official than others. Just a few days ago, MSI drew attention with a slide revealing the upcoming i7 14700K/KF will receive four additional e-cores.
Now we have an indication of 14th Gen pricing, and sadly, it looks like a price rise is coming — relative to the current 13th Gen pricing anyway. The leak comes via @momomo_us, who revealed probable pricing for the 14th Gen K models.
As you can see in the pic above, all of the upcoming enthusiast tier chips are set to receive a roughly 15% price increase over their 13th Gen predecessors.
