Intel Core i7 Raptor Lake Refresh 14700K BOX

High-performance 20-core near-top-level processors from the 14th generation Intel Core i7 family (Raptor Lake Refresh, 10 nm). They offer significant improvements in performance over previous Core i7 models (such as the 12th and 13th generation). For example, the most advanced Core i7-14700K compared to its predecessor Core i7-13700K guarantees a significant increase in performance thanks to the addition of four additional E-cores.

Judging by the tests, the performance increase in multi-threaded tasks is about 20%. It is built according to the scheme 12 E-cores + 8 P-cores, and the number of simultaneously processed threads is 28 pieces. The base frequency of P-cores is 3.4 GHz, and the maximum turbo frequency reaches 5.6 GHz. E-cores operate at frequencies from 2.5 to 4.3 GHz. The processor has 33 MB L3 cache.

The maximum heat dissipation (TDP) is 125 W, and the maximum power in turbo mode reaches 253 W. Intel Core i7 Raptor Lake Refresh processors are compatible with the LGA 1700 platform and require a BIOS update to fully support new features. They support DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 RAM, providing high bandwidth and expandability for modern systems. Plus, Core i7 chips without the F prefix are equipped with built-in UHD Graphics 770, which is quite enough for online games like Fortnite, Apex Legends and PUBG.

For more demanding games you will need a discrete graphics card. Overall, the 14th generation Core i7 chips claim to be powerful gaming processors with a solid margin of safety for the future. They can also provide a reliable foundation for production builds for coders, designers, animators, beatmakers, VFX specialists and other creative industry workers who need a modern, high-performance system.
