Club386 reported on October 26, 2026, that Vietnam shipping records listed four FCLGA desktop processor part numbers associated with Raptor Lake Next, with shipments beginning in August 2026. Separately, Tom’s Hardware reported a locked Intel software-database entry labeled “RPL-NEXT” and treated its connection to Raptor Lake Next as an inference.
What the RPL-NEXT listing suggests
Tom’s Hardware reported that the locked driver listing was labeled “RPL-NEXT.” The outlet interpreted the label as a possible reference to Raptor Lake Next, rather than an Intel product announcement. Tom’s Hardware also said the driver package was likely related to Intel Smart Sound Technology (SST), based on existing naming conventions.
What the shipping records list
Club386 described the entries as FCLGA desktop processors and reported four part numbers: 99DLMV, 99DLMT, 99DLMW and 99DLMX. The outlet said shipments from Vietnam began in August 2026.
Club386 reported the figures below from shipping records. It treated the listed clock figures as assumed base frequencies and the thermal design power (TDP) values as expected.
| Part number | Listed clock figure, assumed base frequency | Listed cache | Expected TDP |
| 99DLMV | 3.5 GHz | 30 MB | 125 W |
| 99DLMT | 2.1 GHz | 33 MB | 65 W |
| 99DLMW | 2.6 GHz | 24 MB | 65 W |
| 99DLMX | 2.6 GHz | 24 MB | 65 W |
What is reported about LGA 1700 and DDR4
Tom’s Hardware described LGA 1700 as the intended platform for the reported processors. The outlet also said Gigabyte BIOS updates suggested DDR4 support. These remain reported platform expectations; they do not specify compatibility for an individual motherboard.
For background, NeoTeo has covered Intel’s earlier Raptor Lake and DDR4 plans.
