There are only six models released this time, namely8+1624 core i9-14900K/KF, 8+1220 core i7-14700K/KF, 6+814 core i5-14600K/F, both have a base power consumption of 125W and continue to be compatible with 600/700 series motherboards with LGA1700 interface.
Among them, the maximum acceleration frequency of i9-14900K/KF is 6GHz, which is 200MHz higher than the current i9-13900K/KF. This is also the first conventional product other than the i9-13900KS limited edition to reach the 6GHz frequency.
It is said that there will also be an i9-14900KS with a frequency reaching an astonishing 6.2GHz, but it has never been confirmed.
The i7-14700K/KF has the biggest change. It has 4 more E-cores than the current i7-13700K/KF, and its multi-threading performance has been significantly improved by up to 17%.
butOverall, the average performance improvement of the 14th generation Core is only about 3%.
As for the standard version with 65W power consumption and the low-power version with 35W power consumption, they are expected to be released at the CES2024 conference early next year, and the rhythm remains the same.
There will be an IntelON innovation conference at the end of this month. It is expected that the new Core Ultra (codenamed Meteor Lake) will be unveiled at that time, targeting mainstream and low-end notebooks, upgrading the new Intel4 manufacturing process and Chiplet discrete module architecture. However, only the architecture and technical information will be announced this time, and the specific model release will still have to wait until CES2024.
In addition, there are the 14th generation Core HX series for high-end gaming notebooks and the Core U series for thin and light notebooks. Like the desktop version, they are upgraded versions of the current 13th generation Core.
