Intel Core i5 Raptor Lake Refresh 14600KF BOX

Intel Core i5 Raptor Lake Refresh processors represent an update to the 14th generation of Intel processors, including a number of improvements over previous models. The focus is on increasing clock speeds and improving multitasking, and it uses the familiar LGA 1700 socket, allowing users to easily upgrade their systems at minimal cost. Corresponding to previous generations, the Core i5 chips of the Raptor Lake Refresh family use a hybrid nuclear structure, when the cores are divided into two types: powerful P-cores and energy-efficient E-cores, as is common in mobile ARM processors.

Specific cores are used depending on the current type of workload: P-cores are designed to perform complex tasks, while E-cores are better suited for solving simple tasks in the background. The hybrid architecture optimizes overall performance levels and reduces overall power consumption. Depending on the specific modification, the Core i5 Raptor Lake may include either 10 or 14 physical cores.

In the first case, these are 6 P-class cores + 4 E-cores. Depending on the specific processor, P-cores can be automatically overclocked to 4.7 - 5.3 GHz, and E-cores operate at frequencies from 3.4 to 4 GHz. Thanks to support for Hyper-Threading technology, the number of simultaneously processed threads can reach 16 pieces. In addition, Core i5 Raptor Lake Refresh processors support 16 lanes of the PCI-E 5.0 system interface, providing the highest data transfer speeds between components. Another important feature is the ability to work with two types of RAM - DDR4-3200 or DDR5-5600. Unlike the 13th generation, Raptor Lake Refresh series chips are capable of working with a RAM buffer of up to 192 GB. Previously, the maximum was 128 GB.
