The new packaging regime looks smaller when compared to the older combination of a "premium silver tinted plastic wafer package" plus box sleeve. The announcement included a set of preview renders, but actual boxed dimensions were not shared in the Product Change Notification (PCN) document.
The Core i9-13900K and Core i9-13900KS were shipped (until recently) in "Tier 4" boxes, but Intel's new cost and space saving drive has the two processors destined to sit in their "Tier 2" retail package which appears to be a standard folding paperboard carton (as seen containing Core i7 and lower end SKUs). By their estimation this redesign could quadruple the number of boxes in each shipping package - from the previous 324 to a new goal of around 1620. Intel reasons that it wants to save on the volumetric storage of processors during the shipment process-the smaller box designs will result in a unit increase per pallet. Intel has informed customers that it is adjusting the retail packaging for two 13th Generation Raptor Lake processors-the Core i9-13900K and Core i9-13900KS are popular choices for extreme gamers who demand the best from their CPUs, but did the presence of extremely fine retail packaging also attract certain buyers who enjoy silicon-related mantelpieces? Team Blue will be introducing a more sober looking boxed solution for the aforementioned SKUs - effective in universal and Chinese markets.
