New Intel 13th Gen chips make Raptor Lake a little cheaper—and less power hungry.
Anything to keep down costs. And the Core i9 13900 is intended to cost around $40 less than the Core i9 13900K at retail, according to Intel's own recommend pricing. That said, we've seen the Core i9 13900K often asking for a much higher price than its recommended customer pricing, so be prepared to potentially pay a little more than asking.
There are F-series, graphics-less versions of most of the 13th Gen lineup, so some savings to be had at any budget. Hopefully, anyways. While the 13th Gen generally trends above MSRP right now, with this new influx of chips and generally affordable 600-series motherboards I'm hopeful for lower build costs all-round.
Lower power consumption can also be helpful for keeping costs to a minimum. Lower power means less wasted heat output, and that means cheaper coolers will suffice where a larger liquid cooler might have been required for a K-series SKU. Like I've mentioned, we tend to see these lower power CPUs make their way into prebuilt PCs from all over. So we should expect to see these PCs starting to arrive soon if you're interested.
