Intel Raptor Lake Desktop Launch Schedule Allegedly Leaks
Purported launch plans for the 13th Gen Intel Core ‘Raptor Lake’ processors have been shared online by seasoned leaker @wxnod. The Intel style-guide compliant slide is titled the “RPL Online GTM Plan,” where RPL is an abbreviation of the codename ‘Raptor Lake,’ and GTM is short for ‘Go To Market.’ The most important dates are September 28 for the launch of the first ‘K’ suffixed Raptor Lake CPUs and October 10 for releasing the first salvo of 13th Gen Core processors.
According to the above, between September 15 and 28, Intel will ‘pre-heat’ partners and the media, preparing publicity materials, blogs, explainers and videos. The first significant date for consumers is September 28. This is when Intel will allegedly publicly take the wraps off its 13th Gen Intel Core processors. We expect these will be the usual trio of unlocked ‘K’ processors, and in this generation, that means the Core i9-13900K, i7-13700K, and i5-13600K. If you spy the little yellow star and i9k in the central area of the table, this is because pre-orders of the Core i9-13900K are scheduled to begin on September 28.
The next significant date from the table is October 13. On this date, Intel and partners will open pre-orders for the Core i7 and i5 'K' suffixed multiplier unlocked chips.
