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.
Graphics unit
Like the Intel Core i7-13700K, the Intel Core i7-14700K 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 i7-14700K is 125 Watts, with the option of consuming up to 253 watts in Turbo mode.
The Intel Core i5-14500T is a power-efficient desktop processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, which was introduced in October 2022. The processor offers a base clock of 1.7 GHz and reaches up to 4.6 GHz in Turbo. The hybrid CPU architecture, which was introduced with Alder Lake, also benefits the Raptor Lake processors. The suffix T stands for a particularly economical CPU model and with a TDP of just 35 watts (PL1 = 35 watts), these processors are ideally suited to small, compact systems.
Performance
The low power consumption ultimately results in slightly lower performance compared to the Intel Core i5-14500. Depending on how the PL2 (92 watts) is defined, there may be noticeable differences in multi-core performance. Compared to the Intel Core i5-12500T, the Intel Core i5-14500T is superior due to the higher number of physical computing units. Compared to the Intel Core i5-13500T, there is no noticeable increase in performance due to the same number of computing units.
Graphics unit
Like the Intel Core i5-13500T, the Intel Core i5-14500T offers an integrated graphics unit. The Intel Iris Xe architecture continues to serve as the basis. In terms of performance, however, not much has changed with the new Intel UHD Graphics 770. The iGPU of the Intel Core i5-14500T also clocks 100 MHz higher, but this does not make a noticeable difference in everyday use.
Power consumption
The TDP of the Intel Core i5-14500T is 35 watts, with the option to increase this to up to 92 watts in Turbo mode. Compared to the Intel Core i5-13500T, nothing has changed in terms of power consumption.
The Intel Core i9-14900 is a high-end processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture. The base clock is 2 GHz and can reach up to 5.8 GHz under optimal conditions. Similar to the top model (Intel Core i9-14900K), the total of 32 threads are divided into 8 p- and 16 e-cores. The 8 performance cores (p-cores) also offer hyperthreading, which means that a total of 32 threads can be processed simultaneously. The non-K model is an economical processor. There is still the option of DDR4 or DDR5 memory.
Performance
Compared to the Intel Core i9-14900K, the Core i9-14900 offers the same number of physical computing units. However, due to the lower power consumption, the Intel Core i9-14900 delivers slightly less performance. The intended use is primarily for compact PCs with limited cooling options.

Power consumption
The Intel Core i9-14900 is specified with a TDP of 65 watts, which corresponds to the PL1 value. In boost mode, the processor's performance can increase to up to 219 watts (PL2). However, this requires very good cooling. Compared to the Intel Core i9-13900, the specified power consumption has not changed.
