Intel Launches Core 14th Generation Desktop Processors: Here’s Everything We Know،
On Monday, October 16, Intel launched the new 14th generation Intel Core desktop processor family. The lineup is led by an Intel Core i9-14900K processor that offers up to 24 cores and 32 threads. The second most powerful processor in the lineup is the Intel Core i7 14700K with 20 cores and 28 threads. Additionally, some desktop processors benefit from the new AI Assist feature, allowing users to overload their processors with one click. Here’s everything you need to know about 14th Gen Intel Core processors.
Introducing 14th Generation Intel Core Processors
The latest generation of Intel processors delivers up to 23% improved gaming performance and AI-guided overclocking with support for DDR5 XMP speeds well beyond 8,000 megatransfers/second. Additionally, the processor family is integrated with Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth v5.3 and offers discrete support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth v5.4. According to the official press release, the 14th generation Intel Core processors will be available at retail locations through OEM partner systems starting October 17, 2023.
Intel Core i9K and i9KF specifications
The new lineup includes six unlocked desktop processors at launch. At the top of the pile is the Core i9-14900K, which Intel touts as “the world’s fastest desktop processor with speeds of 6GHz right out of the box.” This chipset is aimed at professional gamers or creators who need extra power to play and stream the latest video games at the highest settings or edit 4K 60fps video in no time.
The processors offer 24 cores: eight power cores and 16 efficiency cores. At the same time, the total number of processing threads is 32. The chipset includes a Smart Cache (L3) of 36 MB and a total L2 cache of 32 MB. With the Intel Core i9, users have Intel UHD Graphics 770 (with a dynamic graphics frequency of 1650 MHz), while the Intel Core i9KF does not have an integrated GPU.
Intel Core i7K and i7KF specifications
The Intel Core i7K and i7KF support a maximum turbo frequency of 5.6 GHz. It offers 20 processor cores: eight power cores and 12 efficiency cores. The processing threads amount to 28. Regarding the smart and total cache size, the processor provides 33 and 28 MB respectively. Additionally, users benefit from the same integrated GPU as the Intel Core i9 on the Intel Core i7K, but with a lower graphics dynamic frequency of 1600 MHz.
Intel Core i5K and i5KF specifications
The Intel Core i5K and i5KF offer a maximum clock speed of up to 5.3 GHz. It has 14 processor cores: six power cores and eight efficiency cores. Since it is a mid-range processor, the total number of processing threads remains at 20, while the size of the smart and L2 cache is 24 and 20 MB, respectively. The Intel UHD Graphics 770 processor, provided to users with the i5K variant, is clocked at 1,550 MHz.
Speaking of the new AI Assist feature, it uses machine learning to make overclocking easier for everyone. Through Extreme Tuning Utility, AI Assist probes the system to understand the current workload, its performance, and based on the data, the feature suggests overclocking values to the user. Compared to Intel Speed Optimizer, AI Assist learns from different systems, their configurations and available resources, processes the data, then recommends personalized overclocking values tailored to the user.
