Hallock indicates that we’ll see an increase in Raptor Lake inventory, though he didn’t specify what that inventory will look like. As Tom’s Hardware first reported in June, motherboard vendors are gearing up for “Raptor Lake Next,” which is supposedly another slate of refreshes set to launch at the beginning of next year. There are also Bartlett Lake processors that use strictly P-cores , exclusively for embedded applications. Although they haven’t made their way to DIY desktops, the range shows that Intel continues to produce 10nm products and likely will for several years in the future.
Although Intel is making efforts to improve Raptor Lake supply — be that through more stock or Raptor Lake Next — that isn’t coming at the cost of next-gen Nova Lake parts. Hallock indicated that Intel, as well as the industry more broadly, is looking at splitting mainstream and enthusiast offerings due to pricing pressure elsewhere in the market.

Gururu "Again, for the majority of last year, the 14700K often sold for less than $350." Pretty much the only part I bought new in 2024 (@$400) that is cheaper now. Reply
Jabberwocky79 Yeah, let's do it! I built my current PC right smack in the middle of all the kerfuffle of the Raptor Lake chips dying left and right. So I decided to go 12th gen while I waited for Arrow Lake chips instead. Then I learned that 12th gens don't OC well, then Intel went and decided to change the socket again…. kinda left me feeling I was left holding the bag. I'd be happy to upgrade to a (reliable) 14900K at some point. Reply
