It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the original Intel Core and now here we are at 14<sup>th<\/sup> gen. It\u2019s a clich\u00e9, but they really do grow up fast. But what are these new processors all about? Let\u2019s discuss.<\/p>\n<h2>14th Gen Intel &#8211; What\u2019s New?<\/h2>\n<p>The 14<sup>th<\/sup> Gen launch is actually a refresh of 2022\u2019s Raptor Lake architecture (creatively referred to as \u201cRaptor Lake Refresh). It utilizes the same Hybrid core system and 7nm process as did the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.velocitymicro.com\/blog\/benchmarking-intel-core-i9-13900k-and-nvidia-rtx-4090\/\">13<sup>th<\/sup> and 12<sup>th<\/sup> Gen processors<\/a>, pairing Performance and Efficient cores to maximize, well, performance and efficiency. The new processors do have additional cache and some higher clocks, as well as some new I\/O which we\u2019ll discuss shortly, but you won\u2019t see any huge leaps forward this time around.<\/p>\n<h2>Processor models<\/h2>\n<p>With this launch, Intel released the unlocked models only. That means the following are available now. Non-k will follow with a date to be announced.<\/p>\n<table width=\"767\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"73\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"94\"><strong>P Cores<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"94\"><strong>E Cores<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"94\"><strong>Threads<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"94\"><strong>Base Clock<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"94\"><strong>Max<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"94\"><strong>Cache<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"130\"><strong>Graphics<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>i9-14900K<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">16<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">32<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3.2 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">6 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">36 MB<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">UHD Graphics 770<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>i9-14900KF<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">16<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">32<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3.2 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">6 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">36 MB<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">none<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>i7-14700K<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">12<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">28<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3.4 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">5.6 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">33 MB<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">UHD Graphics 770<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>i7-14700KF<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">12<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">28<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3.4 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">5.6 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">33 MB<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">none<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>i5-14600K<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">20<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3.5 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">5.3 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">24MB<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">UHD Graphics 770<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>i5-14600KF<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">20<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3.5 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">5.3 GHz<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">24MB<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">none<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Z790 Refresh Motherboards<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/velocitymicro.com\/img\/blog\/HZ90H770B760\/z790.png\" alt=\"Z790 Mobo\" width=\"648\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Intel\u2019s 14<sup>th<\/sup> Gen Core processors use the same LGA 1700 socket as 12<sup>th<\/sup> and 13 Gen, so all 600 and 700 series boards will support these new CPUs as well, although they may need a BIOS update first. There\u2019s no new Intel chipset with this launch, but Asus, Asrock, MSI, and Gigabyte have all announced \u201cZ790 refresh\u201d boards to add additional heatsinks and improved VRMs to better handle the additional TDP and thermal requirements of 14<sup>th<\/sup> Gen. From a spec perspective, the Z790 Refresh boards have primarily the same set as do their original Z790 predecessors with the one exception \u2013 support for Wifi 7.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Wifi 7<\/h2>\n<p>Also known as 802.11be, Wifi 7 is the latest WiFi standard. It operates across all three bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) with 320 MHz ultra-wide bandwidth and 4096-QAM to produce a max throughput of 46 Gbps. That\u2019s 4.8x faster than Wifi 6 and 13x faster than Wifi 5 with overall 100x lower latency and 5x the total network capacity. To capitalize on the new tech though, you\u2019ll need both a Wifi 7 compliant motherboard, wireless router, and ISP that supports such speeds.<\/p>\n<h2>Where can I get 14<sup>th<\/sup> Gen?<\/h2>\n<p>14<sup>th<\/sup> Gen Intel Core processors are available on our <a href=\"https:\/\/velocitymicro.com\/raptor-z95-gaming-pc.php\">Raptor Z95<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/velocitymicro.com\/raptor-z55-gaming-pc.php\">Z55<\/a> gaming systems and <a href=\"https:\/\/velocitymicro.com\/promagix-hd60-workstation-pc.php\">HD60 workstations<\/a>.
