If we convert these prices to US dollars, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF will cost approx $314Core Ultra 5 245K – $330Core Ultra 7 265KF – $417Core Ultra 7 265K – $433а Core Ultra 9 285K – $627. Note that none of these processors are currently available for purchase due to an embargo on their sale. The embargo will be lifted on October 24, but the official presentation is expected on October 10.
For reference, the Intel Core i9-14900K RCP is $599, the Core i7-14700K/KF RCP is $419-$394, and the Core i5-14600K/KF RCP is $329-$304. At the same retailer, 14th Gen SKU prices and Core Ultra 200 list prices differ by +9.5% on average, but you can expect final prices to be close to or equal to current offers because these are greatly reduced with 14th generation processors. since launch.
There is still a month before consumers can buy these processors, but the processors are already listed on other retail sites such as Lambdatek and PC-Canada. As for the prices on Shoprbc, they are pretty much in line with UK and Canadian retailers, but those are introductory prices, so expect different “official” retail prices. Therefore, the official suggested retail price is likely to be somewhere around these prices.
These processors are priced according to the Raptor Lake chips, but users upgrading from 12th / 13th / 14th gen processors will have to change the motherboard from LGA 1700 to LGA 1851, which will be equipped with 800 chipsets like the Z890, and will released together with Arrow Lake processors. The remaining budget processors and motherboards with the 800 chipset should be released in early 2025.
