Intel Teases Launch of More 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refreshes: 65W Desktop, HX-series for Laptops, and China-Exclusive Variants
During an event in China, Intel revealed its plans to expand the lineup of its 14th Gen Raptor Lake CPU refreshes. The company has already released the “K” Unlocked Desktop SKUs of these CPUs, which offer improved performance at the same prices. Now, Intel is set to introduce additional variants of its 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh chips.
Firstly, Intel will be launching the 14th Gen Raptor Lake-S Desktop Refresh, which will cater to the mainstream and budget segments with 65W Non-K SKUs. These chips come with a minor clock speed bump and will retail at the same prices as the 13th Gen chips. Furthermore, they will be compatible with the LGA 1700 socket, making them a good option for consumers.
In terms of laptops, Intel will offer the 14th Gen Raptor Lake-HX refresh parts. These chips are designed for the enthusiast laptop market and come with minor improvements. Some SKUs will receive a core configuration update. The Raptor Lake-HX parts will be available alongside the 1st Gen Core Ultra “Meteor Lake” and 1st Gen Core “Raptor Lake-U” series.
