Microcenter is offering some big price cuts on Intel's 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs ahead of AMD's Ryzen 7000 X3D launch.
Intel 13th Gen CPU Prices Slashed By Microcenter: 13900K For $530US, 13700K For $330 US, 13600K For $250 US
While Intel has denied any price cut on its older 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, certain retailers have started discounting the 13th Gen Raptor Lake lineup ahead of AMD's Ryzen 7000 X3D launch that will hit shelves by the end of this month. The price cuts include the trio of unlocked "K" processors.
Starting with the prices, the Intel Core i9-13900K which has an RCP (Recommended Customer Price) of $599 US is now available for $529.99 US which is a $70 US discount. The Core i7-13700K CPU has an RCP of $419.99 US and is available for $329.99 US which is a $90 US saving and the i5-13600K is now available for $249.99 US which is an $80 US reduction from its $329.99 US RCP. All three CPUs are readily available at Microcenter for purchase but do note that they are only up for in-store pick-ups.
- Intel Core i9-13900K 24 Core CPU - $529.99 US (Microcenter)
- Intel Core i7-13700K 16 Core CPU - $329.99 US (Microcenter)
- Intel Core i5-13600K 14 Core CPU - $249.99 US (Microcenter)
Now, do note that these prices aren't official price cuts by discounts offered by Microcenter. One would see that as an answer to AMD's Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs which will be available by the end of this month but if Intel really wanted to set these prices as a competitive move, we would've seen them happen across various retailers which isn't the case here. Now that doesn't mean that other retailers won't follow Microcenter and offer their own discounts but so far, we haven't seen many deals from the rest of the market.
With that said, lower prices on the 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs will be a welcome move even if it isn't by Intel themselves. The Ryzen 7000 X3D CPUs are looking great for gamers and the recent Ryzen 7000 Non-X chips have been received positively owing to their high efficiency and similar performance as the "X" series parts. Intel will have no new options till the tail end of 2023 when they plan to launch their refreshed Raptor Lake lineup.
