Intel has officially unwrapped its 14th-gen processor lineup aimed at PC enthusiasts, gamers, and other customers needing high-performance desktop processors. The new CPU trio delivers the "fastest desktop frequencies," the "best desktop experience," and "unparalleled overclocking."
“Since the introduction of our performance hybrid architecture, Intel has consistently raised the bar for desktop performance. With our Intel Core 14th Generation processors, we’re showing once again why enthusiasts turn to Intel for the best desktop experience available on the market today.”
The lineup consists of three unlocked models (plus iGPU-less KF variants) with up to 24 cores and 6GHz max clocks. The Core i7-14700K model received four extra E-cores, bumping the spec up to 8 P-cores and 12-E cores for 20 cores and 28 threads. Intel claims the change results in significant performance gains in multi-threaded workloads.
Overall, the new lineup promises up to 23% gaming performance uplift compared to "leading competitor processors," AI-assisted overclocking, and improved DDR5 memory support. Additionally, the 14th-gen lineup maintains compatibility with DDR4 RAM on compatible motherboards with 600 or 700 Chipsets. Therefore, you can upgrade your existing rig without spending on a new board or RAM.
Additional features include integrated support for Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Thunderbolt 4, and the upcoming Thunderbolt 5. Besides, you can pair new processors with discrete Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 network cards.
