TL;DR
AI GeneratedIntel briefly revealed pricing for its upcoming Wildcat Lake processors, ranging from $304 to $470 for the highest variants, before quickly removing the data. These prices are Recommended Customer Pricing (RCP) for 1,000-unit trays, but major OEMs like Dell negotiate deep volume discounts that significantly lower the effective cost per unit. The pricing overlaps with Panther Lake SKUs, indicating that RCPs are more of a ceiling than a floor due to complex OEM rebates and volume discounts. Wildcat Lake processors are positioned as a budget alternative to the Panther Lake lineup, targeting Apple's MacBook Neo, with expected laptop prices from major brands to fall in the $500-$600 range.
