> New shipping logs reveal Intel's Raptor Lake NEXT processors for the LGA 1700 platform are in transit ahead of an early 2027 launch.

**Intel** is preparing to launch its **Raptor Lake NEXT** processor family, a new Re-Refresh series for the **LGA 1700** platform. Recent NBD shipping logs from August 2026 reveal that these FCLGA desktop parts are currently shipping from manufacturing sites in **Vietnam**.

The manifest lists four models: 99DLMV, 99DLMT, 99DLMW, and 99DLMX. The 99DLMV features a 3.5 GHz base clock and 30 MB of L3 cache, while the 65W 99DLMT offers 33 MB of L3 cache at 2.1 GHz. The 99DLMW and 99DLMX both feature 24 MB of L3 cache and a 65W TDP rating.

**GIGABYTE** has confirmed these new processors will be available by early 2027, extending the lifecycle of the existing LGA 1700 socket. This release provides a clear roadmap for desktop users looking to upgrade hardware without switching to a new motherboard.
