Intel has finally launched its 14th Gen Non-K Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs, featuring a total of 18 new SKUs with up to 24 cores & 5.8 GHz clocks.
Intel’s 14th Gen Non-K “Raptor Lake Refresh” Desktop CPU Family Debuts With A Whooping 18 New Chips For PC Builders In 65W & 35W Flavors
Just like the 12th and 13th Gen family, the 14th Gen Non-K Desktop CPU lineup features “Non-K”, “Non-K F” and “T” series chips in 18 diverse flavors featured in the Core i9, Core i5, Core i3 & the Non-Core stacks. These chips are targeted at DIY PC builders and OEMs who are going to build & offer new PCs for gaming, content creation, and office-oriented tasks.
Intel 14th Gen Core i9 Desktop CPU Lineup
Starting with the top Core i9 SKUs, Intel has four variants which include the Core i9-14900KF, Core i9-14900F, Core i9-14900T, and the Core i9-14900. These CPUs will feature the very same 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core configurations that we have seen on the Core i9-13900 series CPUs.
All Intel Core i9 CPUs will feature up to 36 MB of L3 cache and DDR5-5600/DDR4-3200 memory (native). The CPUs will range from 65W Non-K and 35W T-series SKUs. Clock speeds will also be variable per chip with the Core i9-14900 boosting up to 5.8 GHz. The prices of these chips will be ranging from $524 to $549 US.
Intel 14th Gen Core i7 Desktop CPU Lineup
Intel’s 14th Gen Core i7 lineup will also be made up of four SKUs similar to the Core i9 series which include the Core i7-14700KF, Core i7-14700, Core i7-14700F, and Core i7-14700T. The chips will be offering 8 P-Cores coupled with 12 E-Cores across all SKUs with up to 5.4 GHz clocks. The chips will offer up to 33 MB of L3 cache and feature similar TDP targets for each segment. Prices will range from $359 to $384 US.
Intel 14th Gen Core i5 Desktop CPU Lineup
The Intel 14th Gen Core i5 Desktop CPUs will have two variations, One will be based on the same 6 P-Core and 8 E-Core die under the 14600 family which includes the Core i5-14600, and the Core i5-14600T. The CPUs will feature up to 24 MB of L3 cache and retain similar power targets across each segment.
The rest of the lineup will be utilizing a mix of the B0 and C0 dies which offer 6 P-Core + 8 E-Core & 6 P-Core + 4 E-Core configurations. The lineup will feature the Core i5-14500, Core i5-14400, Core i5-14440F, Core i5-14400T, and the Core i5-14500T. The Core i5-14400 and its “F” variant will get a 6+4 and 6+8 variant which will make the lineup a bit confusing for buyers. The cache will remain the same across the two variants but the reduction of the E-Cores on one variant will be a major drawback. Prices will range from $196 to $255 US.
Intel 14th Gen Core i3 Desktop CPU Lineup
Intel will also have three SKUs under the 14th Gen Core i3 lineup which include the Core i3-14100, Core i3-14100F, and the Core i3-14100T. These chips will come in a 4 P-Core only design with 12 MB of L3 cache, up to 4.7 GHz clocks, and TDPs ranging from 60W, 58W, and 35W. These chips will utilize the H0 die and one more thing is that the Non-K chips only get support for up to DDR5-4800 / DDR4-3200 (natively). Prices will range from $109 to $134 US.
Intel 14th Gen Non-Core Desktop CPU Lineup
Lastly, we have the Intel 300 and Intel 300T and these two chips will be a return of the dual-core processors on the LGA 1700 platform. The chips will feature 6 MB of L3 cache, a frequency of up to 3.9 GHz, and TDPs ranging between 46W and 35W. Once again, the two chips will utilize the H0 die. Prices will be set at $82 US for both SKUs.
So just as a recap, here’s everything we can expect from Intel’s 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh Desktop CPUs:
- Same Architecture as Raptor Lake (Raptor Cove P-Cores + Gracemont E-Cores)
- Same Process Node as Raptor Lake (Intel 7 aka 10nm++)
- Higher Clock Speeds Beyond 5.8 GHz
- Support For Faster DDR5 Memory DIMMs
- Compatibility With Existing LGA 1700 / 1800 Socket Motherboards
In terms of performance, Intel compares the Core i9-14900 and Core i7-14700 against AMD’s Ryzen 9 7900 and its own Core i7-13700 CPUs. The chips deliver up to a 32% increase in content creation, a 15% increase in Productivity, and a 6% increase in gaming performance. All chips will be compatible with existing 600 and 700-series motherboards & will come bundled with the new Laminar RM1 CPU cooler.
