Robert Hallock, Intel vice president, confirmed the company will offer 10nm Raptor Lake CPUs for years to come. Despite the focus on next-gen Nova Lake parts, Intel is working to stabilize supply and pricing for the LGA 1700 platform amid high market demand.
Current pricing shows the Core i5-14600K at $262 on Amazon, up from its $200 historical low, while the i7-14700K sits at $380. Intel attributes this inventory shift to a sudden inrush of demand triggered by high RAM prices affecting the broader PC component market.
The LGA 1700 ecosystem remains active as Gigabyte launches new DDR4 motherboards. While vendors prepare for Raptor Lake Next, Intel is also developing Bartlett Lake chips with strictly P-cores for embedded use, maintaining the socket's long-term relevance.
