Intel Core i7-14700 vs Intel Core i7-14700K vs Intel Core i5-14600K

Intel Core i7-14700

The Intel Core i7-14700 is a desktop processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, which inherits the 13th generation of Intel Core processors with minor improvements. The processor offers a base clock of 1.5 GHz or 2.1 GHz and reaches up to 5.4 GHz in Turbo. The basic CPU structure remains unchanged. The Intel Core i7-14700 features 8 P-cores and 12 E-cores, allowing up to 28 threads to be processed in parallel. It is also based on the LGA 1700 socket, which was already introduced with Alder Lake.

Graphics unit

Like the Intel Core i7-13700K, the Intel Core i7-14700 also has an integrated graphics unit. The Intel Iris Xe architecture continues to serve as the basis. In terms of performance, however, nothing has changed with the Intel UHD Graphics 770.

Power consumption

The TDP of the Intel Core i7-14700 is 65 watts, with the option of consuming up to 219 watts in Turbo mode.

Intel Core i7-14700K

The Intel Core i7-14700K is a desktop processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, which inherits the 13th generation of Intel Core processors with minor improvements. The processor offers a base clock of 2.5 GHz or 3.4 GHz and reaches up to 5.6 GHz in Turbo. The basic CPU structure remains unchanged. The Intel Core i7-14700K features 8 P-cores and 12 E-cores, allowing up to 28 threads to be processed in parallel. The Intel Core i7-14700K still offers a freely selectable multiplier, which makes overclocking much easier. It is also based on the LGA 1700 socket, which was already introduced with Alder Lake.

Performance

Compared to the Intel Core i7-13700K, the IPC of the new Core i7-14700K has only been increased slightly. This means that the difference in performance is only due to the higher number of efficiency cores (12 vs. 8) and higher clock rates.

Power consumption

The TDP of the Intel Core i7-14700K is 125 Watts, with the option of consuming up to 253 watts in Turbo mode.

Intel Core i5-14600K

The Intel Core i5-14600K is a modern desktop processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, which inherits the 13th generation of Intel Core processors with minor improvements. The processor offers a base clock of 3.5 GHz and reaches up to 5.3 GHz in Turbo. The basic CPU structure remains unchanged. This means that the Intel Core i5-14600K also has 6 P-cores and 8 E-cores, which means that up to 20 threads can be processed in parallel. The Intel Core i5-14600K still offers a freely selectable multiplier, which makes overclocking much easier. The LGA 1700 socket, which was already introduced with Alder-Lake, is also used as the basis.

Performance

Compared to the Intel Core i5-13600K , the IPC of the new Core i5-14600K has only been increased slightly. This means that the difference in performance is also only slight. The hybrid architecture relies on the Intel Thread Director, which is responsible for the correct allocation of tasks. As a further innovation, the manufacturer is increasingly relying on AI, which is also used for overclocking. With one click in the Intel Extreme Utility, the tool checks the entire system and makes the necessary settings.
