We’re drawing closer and closer to the Intel 14th-gen release date, so it’s about time we talk to you about the Intel 14th-gen price. Anyone looking to take advantage of the next generation of Intel processors and wants to know where to buy Intel 14th gen will more than likely be wondering (or worrying) about the price tag. Worry not though, as we’ve got all the details for you right here.

While Intel themselves haven’t revealed anything official just yet, there are quite a few leaks and early sales coming through from certain regions which gives us a good clue about the Intel 14th-gen pricing. Let’s jump straight into all the details as excitement ramps up and even dates are being leaked.

Intel 14th gen price – how much will Intel 14th gen CPUs cost?

Starting with this news from Videocardz which reveals a fresh leak regarding the price. It will reportedly be the same as the 13th gen – the following prices indicate no increase in Recommended Customer Price (RCP) at all:

• Intel Core i9-14900K: $589
• Intel Core i9-14900KF: $564
• Intel Core i7-14700K: $409
• Intel Core i7-14700KF: $384
• Intel Core i5-14600K: $319
• Intel Core i5-14600KF: $294

One interesting thing to throw into the mix is this Reddit post from u/PantatRebus, who claims that they got a hold of an i7-14700K early. This coincides with reports that the CPUs have gone on sale in Indonesia earlier than expected (i.e. before the official launch). According to the Reddit post, the user paid 7,450,00 IDR for the high-mid-range CPU, which is around $480 in the US. Hard to say if this is a true indicator of pricing in other regions, but it’s a good ballpark figure.

Furthermore, Forbes has reported on more price leaks due to retailers listing the new products before launch, a recurring theme it seems. This time, it is from the UK store Overclockers UK, who have listed new CPUs for the following prices:

• Intel Core i9-14900K: £579
• Intel Core i9-14900KF: £559
• Intel Core i7-14700KF: £398
• Intel Core i5-14600K: £320

These prices aren’t too far away from their current 13th gen equivalents, which is interesting to see. Perhaps not super surprising as they are considered a Raptor Lake refresh.

Will Intel 14th gen have budget CPUs?

We expect to see Intel introducing some more budget CPUs once the Intel 14th-gen branches out a little more from the initial lineup. We’re talking more i5 and down to i3 CPUs for truly budget builds. From what we’ve seen in price leaks so far, these lower-end processors are sitting out the launch, but it shouldn’t be too long before we hear more about them.

For reference, many of the 13th gen i3 processors currently retail around the $100-150 dollar mark, so considering the similarities in the price we already see, the 14th gen equivalents could be around this price range as well. As a Raptor Lake Refresh is likely on the same socket, this is in line with what we’d expect.

Is Intel 14th gen more expensive than Intel 13th gen?

While we await official confirmation of the price of the 14th gen, the leaks and early sales have given us an excellent idea of what to expect once it goes on sale in places such as the US. Based on the figures from a UK retailer above, we can expect the pricing to be pretty similar to the last generation. For example, the i9-13900K currently sits at around £570, while the 14900K is supposedly sitting at £579. Other equivalents reach a difference of around £20, so not much of a price hike at all. Other sources point towards the pricing structure being the same as the 13th gen launch.

An earlier article from Forbes report on known leaker @momomo_us revealed that the price gap could be a little bigger though, which could see the launch price increase by up to $95 in the case of the i9-13900K. However, it’s a good idea to take this with a pinch of salt.
