According to Hardware leaker @wnxod, the upcoming Intel’s 14th Gen Raptor Lake-S Refresh decktop processor Core i7-14700K now tested in CPU-Z and Cinebench R23.
The CPU is currently not recognized by any software, however, it is identified as the Raptor Lake HX/S die. According to the CPU-Z output, the CPU has a clock speed of up to 5.5 GHz, which is only 100 MHz higher than the Core i7-13700K. However, the alleged increase in core count is expected to have a greater impact.
If these reported scores are genuine, it would indicate that the Core i7-14700K receives 905 points in the CPU-Z single-core test and 14965 points in the multi-threaded test. In the Cinebench R23 test, it achieves 2192 points in single-core and 36296 points in multi-threaded. Comparatively, the existing Core i7-13700K with 8 Performance and 8 Efficient cores performs at a lower level.
Core i7-14700K vs. 13700K:
- CPU-Z: +3.8% (ST) & +18.2% (MT)
- Cinebnech R23: +4.2% (ST) & +16.9% (MT)
The updated Raptor Lake series’ Core i7-14700K showcases a noteworthy enhancement in multi-threaded performance. However, it is crucial to note that single-core performance, often more significant, only sees a moderate 4% improvement. It remains uncertain whether this version of the processor is final or how compatible it is with current motherboards.
The anticipated launch for Intel Raptor Lake Refresh is now set for October. The initial release will prioritize the K-series SKUs, with the Core i7-14700K model at the forefront.
According to a recent post on Baidu forums, the upcoming Core i7-14700K desktop CPU is expected to have a similar configuration to the mobile Core i7-13850HX CPU. Both CPUs will feature 20 cores and 28 threads. However, the Core i7-14700K is clearly not a mobile CPU, as it boasts a significantly higher base clock of 3.4 GHz compared to the 2.1 GHz base clock of the mobile variant. If this information is accurate, it suggests that the 14th Gen Core CPU has maintained its base clock from the previous generation.
