Black Friday 2024 may still be a couple of weeks away, but early deals are already rolling out, this time on Intel’s 12th, 13th, and 14th-gen CPUs.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen brands like LG offer massive discounts as part of their Black Friday sales, long before the official day arrives on popular online retailers. Now, another tech giant has joined the mix as Intel’s 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen CPUs have been spotted on Amazon and Newegg at unbeatable prices.
These discounts apply to several Alder Lake, Raptor Lake, and Raptor Lake Refresh SKUs, offering much lower prices than their original MSRPs. Whether you’re looking to boost your productivity or enjoy high FPS gaming, these CPU deals have something for everyone.
What’s included in these early Black Friday Intel CPU deals?
In total, these early Black Friday CPU deals are available on 14 different SKUs across Amazon and Newegg. These deals include massive discounts on several high-end chips, which are rarely found at these prices. Let’s start with the Alder Lake (12th Gen) CPUs and the five SKUs currently on sale:
- Core i9 12900KS (Best Deal): $239 on Amazon (MSRP: $739)
- Core i9 12900KF: $281 on Newegg (MSRP: $564)
- Core i7 12700KF: $197 on Newegg (MSRP: $384)
- Core i7 12700K: $213 on Newegg (MSRP: $409)
- Core i5 12600KF: $149 on Newegg (MSRP: $264)
With the 12th Gen series, you’re looking at discounts ranging from as low as $100 to as high as $500 on the Core i9-12900KS, making it even cheaper than the flagship processor (12900KF) in the Alder Lake lineup. The Core i7 models also offer significant savings, with the biggest discount on the Core i7-12700K, slashing almost $200 off the original MSRP. The remaining nine deals are for newer generation CPUs in the Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh lineup:
- Core i9 14900K: $438 on Newegg (MSRP: $589)
- Core i9 14900KF: $438 on Newegg (MSRP: $564)
- Core i7 14700K: $347 on Newegg (MSRP: $409)
- Core i7 14700KF: $327 on Newegg / $327 on Amazon (MSRP: $384)
- Core i5 14600K: $235 on Newegg (MSRP: $319)
- Core i5 14600KF: $214 on Newegg (MSRP: $294)
- Core i9 13900K: $401 on Amazon (MSRP: $589)
- Core i5 13600K: $210 on Amazon (MSRP: $319)
- Core i5 13600KF: $175 on Amazon (MSRP: $294)
How long will these early Black Friday CPU deals last?
There’s no way to predict how long will these early Black Friday CPU deals run for, but judging by the massive price drops we’re seeing, some of these CPUs (we’re looking at you 12900KS) won’t stay in stock for long. That said, all of these chips offer a great value-to-performance ratio and are solid options for gaming, streaming, creative work, or whatever you throw at them. While Intel’s latest Arrow Lake processors are already here, some of these CPUs are still seen to offer better performance than the 15th Gen, making them, and these discounts, an absolute steal.
