480 for the cheapest i7 mmmkay, but at least it's 24 threads and ddr4 compatible, leaks aren't bad either, still way too much to ask,would rather get 12700kf at a reduced price. https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-7-7700X-fails-to-hold-up-against-the-Core-i7-13700K-despite-performing-25-faster-than-the-Ryzen-7-5800X-in-Cinebench-R20.642695.0.html

The i7 is a bit too expensive even for the KF version. The i5 is more reasonable (it seems to match typical prices in my country). EDTI: Ok, nevermind. These prices seem to reflect the current prices of the 12000 series here as well. Hopefully the i5s deliver.

I also thing the I7 is priced too high, almost like they don`t expect competition from AMD... I hope the 13700KF can be found aroun 350€, otherwise it`s too much.

Damm those prices are out to lunch and must be place holders.Intel same as AMD have been consistent on launch prices in Canada for years.AMD still around same launch price,Intel is on another sniffing glue level if prices are correct. Then again the 12900KS is same price as the 13900K so I can see it might be 100% the price. 13900K $940 listed is up $191 Canadian dollars from 12900K price on release.Crazy price jump,one of my 12900K's in Canada on release.

this is likely inflation related, and cost related. raptor lake is a bigger chip, and inflation is probably like 10% or higher year over year if you dont buy into the BoC's crappy estimates . together with increased material costs and increased shipping costs, it can add up real quick.
