Intel 14th Gen Core 65W Desktop Processors to Launch on January 8

Intel is preparing to expand its 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" desktop processor lineup with the introduction of mainstream 65 W processor models that lack overclocking capabilities and include a cooling solution in the retail channel. The company is planning to make these chips available to purchase on January 8, 2024. Intel has set 15:00 Pacific on January 8th as the availability time; it's also the time when the media can post their reviews of these chips. The chips should be supported on all Socket LGA1700 motherboards, across Intel 600-series and 700-series chipsets, including the entry-level H610; however, some of these boards may require UEFI firmware updates. We've known the processor model numbers and specs of these chips for a while now, and they're starting to appear on web-stores as placeholder listing. It's possible that Intel allows retailers to take in pre-orders a few days before January 8.

Is there a single difference between these and the 13th gen except 100 Mhz turbo?

14700 will presumably carry the additional E-cores. But otherwise, no. This is a refresh, it's about slightly higher max freq and slightly less power draw.

Pretty much all you need for Gaming.

Sadly no one ever reviews them, cuz it's all about the e-peen K models.

Doesn't help that they're released so late. You can pretty much guess where these will land, reviews won't bring in that many clicks :(

And if I may add, not only all you need for gaming, but all 90% users need for everything they do at home.

Intel has no official review samples for these processors. Medias can just buy them out of pocket to review them

Until you get into games like Starfield and a few others which are very CPU dependent. But we know what you mean.

As i refuse to call any CPU with less than 2MB L2 cache per core a Raptor Lake ...
only the 14600 non-K seems to be a Raptor Lake,
while all others below are 1.25MB L2 cache per core Alder Lake.

There's another difference between Golden and Raptor Cove, besides cache size: Raptor Cove features an improved prefetch algorithm, so cache usage should be more effective. Of course, we all know how much good that does irl, but there you have it, it's a change in the silicon, so it's technically not Alder Lake.

I'm excited to see what 15th gen brings, 14th gen has been a very meh affair. Still, Intel providing some serious bang for buck options across 12/13 gen, I could see people being very happy with Intel in a budget build.

Oh how times have changed :)

Times certainly have changed... No more gens, 14th is the last. After that Meteor Lake for example has 134U and 185H, in Intel parlance Series 1?

Oh right I forgot they were going to change up the naming becuase... shiny? :P In any case Intel's next vs AMD's next will be one hell of a battle.

Price differential is not large enough to K versions. I would just power limit my 14600K to say 105W and be done with it. Makes bugger all difference to most games and a lot of apps.

Crackong65W ?

There is a tau boost ofcourse, but after that they lock at 65W with lowered clocks during heavy load.

I haven't come across any reviews on the locked 13 gen i7's but the 12 gen locked i7's held their own vs the unlocked version of those cpu's.

Will the Core i5-14490F and the Core i7-14790F show up in the launch? They were not included in the leaked QS spreadsheet and I don't ever recall seeing them on Taobao.

The Core i5-14490F is listed in the Windows 11 22H2 supported processors list, but I don't see the Core i7-14790F in there. Perhaps the Core i5-14490F is planned to be released much later, and the Core i7-14790F is shelved indefinitely? Strange.
