Intel is launching its 14th Gen desktop processors this week, promising boost frequencies of 6GHz out of the box for its flagship Core i9-14900K. Known as Raptor Lake Refresh, Intel is maintaining pricing for its 14th Gen Core i9, i7, and i5 processors this year, sticking to the same retail pricing as the 13th Gen when these new chips launch on October 17th.

The 6GHz boost on the new Core i9-14900K makes it the “fastest desktop processor at volume,” according to Intel, referring to its special-edition 13900KS that first broke the 6GHz barrier at stock speeds last year but didn’t ship at volume. The more interesting 14th Gen processor in this refresh could be the Core i7-14700K, though, thanks to a significant bump to its efficiency cores.

The Core i9-14900K will be priced at $589, with the Core i7-1700K priced at $409 and the Core i5-14600K launching at $319. All three processors will be available from system builders and retailers on October 17th.

This is just 13th gen with more wattage. Skip.

 

[Rossco EZ]

lmao these are awful

 

[Mr Moose]

Just in time for winter.

The Rocket Lake of the 2020s. Don't bother.

 

[Insane Metal]

Abysmal performance.

 

[64bitmodels]

Leonidas ain't gonna like this one

 

[FalconPunch]

Intel out here just blasting power.

 

[Insane Metal]

Leonidas ain't gonna like this one

Oh, he will.

 

[Pagusas]

Yipes... Skipping this and stick with my 7950 for the next year then. Hopefully Arrow Lake shows real gains.. but not sure I want to be another new platform beta tester again, it hasn't been fun on AM5

 

[Buggy Loop]

Holy shit at those power draws

 

[Pipoqueiro]

I bought the 12th generation at the beginning of the year, PC gaming really isn't easy and cheap
without any need to change, at least

 

[MikeM]

Hahaha what a piece of shit. Why did Intel bother?

 

[Skifi28]

Leonidas ain't gonna like this one

You can already tell when he wasn't the one starting the thread.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

This seems so pointless. They should’ve at least named them like:
13650K
13800K
13950K

Then at least the expectations would be more in line with reality

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Just an absolutely pathetic and this will showing here. Just makes it easier to continue to recommend AMD and their processors. And to think just a short time ago I was totally the opposite and pushing into even more regardless of being expensive. But Intel has fallen so far from grace and continues to ride this the same overpowered way of life just to keep the degree of parity with the competition and barely with themselves now.

I'm the last thing when it comes to fanboy of any company when it comes to these computer parts and my track record has been pretty solid with that. Or else I would have always stayed with Intel but it cannot be helped and until just continues to disappoint. You can continue to be a fanboy and champion them but I'm not that person that is so biased to stick with them. That ship sale they while ago and AMD is doing the right things when it comes to their processors.

Yeah, no thanks. Intel is garbage tier:

[SolidQ]

good cpu for Antarctica

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Absolutely atrocious coming from 2 previous generations/refreshes. 6% average from the 12 to 14. Unbelievably bad IPC with staggering power draw just to get that result.

 

[Wooxsvan]

Just in time for winter.

such an overused comment but amazing. great laugh. thank you lol.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Leonidas ain't gonna like this one

Oh, he will.

To be fair, he hasn't been as much of an Intel CPU fan boy in recent years now that AMD CPUs are often a better than their Intel counterparts.

He is still big time in nvidia's camp when it comes to GPUs however.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

109k levels of power draw is as far as I'm willing to go, this is just crazy TDP.
