Intel · Core i7 · 2023 · LGA1700
The Intel Core i7-14700K is a desktop processor with 20 cores (8 Performance-cores and 12 Efficiency-cores), released in 2023 at an MSRP of $409. It is part of the Core i7 lineup, using the 14th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1700 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Raptor Lake Refresh" architecture. Only the 8 P-cores support Hyper-Threading, while the 12 E-cores handle a single thread each, together yielding 28 threads: the P-cores tackle latency-sensitive and lightly-threaded work, while the E-cores take on background and highly parallel tasks. The Core i7-14700K has a base clock of 3.4 GHz and can boost up to 5.6 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Raptor Lake Refresh" silicon on a Intel 7 process node. The multiplier is unlocked, making overclocking straightforward. This processor supports DDR4/DDR5 memory. With a TDP of 125W, the Core i7-14700K sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. Integrated graphics are provided by the UHD 770 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy consists of 80KB/core of L1, 28MB of L2, and 33MB of L3 cache.
Notable for jumping from the 13700K's 16 cores to 20 by adding four extra E-cores, giving a meaningful multi-threaded uplift over its 13th Gen predecessor at the same core-count tier as the previous-gen i9. A common recommendation for buyers who want near-flagship multi-core performance without the 14900K's price premium.
