Intel Raptor Lake NEXT has popped up in shipping records, with four new desktop CPUs set to give the LGA 1700 platform another run. The chips seem to be part of a second Raptor Lake refresh, with GIGABYTE having already hinted at fresh processors for the older socket.
The latest clue comes from NBD trade logs flagged by Club386. Shipments out of Vietnam appear to list four Intel parts, each with a code name, clock details, and cache data. It's not a full spec sheet yet, but there's enough to get a fair idea of what Intel may have planned.
First up is part 99DLMV, which looks like one of the stronger chips in the group. It may pair eight Performance cores with eight Efficient cores, backed by 30 MB of L3 cache and a 3.5 GHz base speed. That's close to Core i7 13700K specs.
Here's the odd bit. Intel may sell that level of hardware as a stand-in for the Core i5 14600K. If true, buyers could get a higher core count in a midrange slot, though the leak says little about price or real-world speed.
Next comes 99DLMT, a chip that may have eight P-cores and 12 E-cores. Its listed cache rises to 33 MB, while the base speed drops to 2.1 GHz. A 65W power rating is also on the table, which points to a more modest power target.
That setup puts 99DLMT near the Core i7 14700 on paper. For people who need more threads but don't want a high-power K-series chip, it could be worth a look. Of course, final clock rates and retail names are still up in the air.
Then there's the pair of 99DLMW and 99DLMX. Both seem to share 24 MB of L3 cache and a 2.6 GHz base clock. Early guesses put them at eight P-cores and four E-cores each, with a possible 65W rating. The exact gap between the two is not clear.
All four entries carry the FCLGA label, which points to desktop socket parts. That lines up with Intel sticking to LGA 1700 for this wave, rather than forcing buyers onto a new board. Mobile chips may follow, but the records don't prove that yet.
For PC builders still using the older Intel platform, this could be a neat way to keep their rigs going. Intel has yet to give the lineup a full public reveal, though, and trade data alone can't lock down every spec. The next big question is how these chips will be priced.
