Intel Core i5-14600K and Core i7-14700K Show up in the Wild
Multiple leakers on Twitter/X have posted screenshots or pictures of Intel's upcoming Core i5-14600K CPU and it appears that some earlier rumours about this specific SKU weren't entirely accurate. It was believed that the Core i5-14600K was to get a core bump over the Core i5-13600K, but apparently this isn't the case, if the new leaks hold true. However, it also appears that the CPU will boost higher than expected, as earlier rumours suggested 5.3 GHz max boost clock and now it appears it'll go all the way up to 5.5 GHz, which is still lower than its Core i7 and Core i9 peers. The i5 also lacks Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, so it won't be possible to squeeze some extra performance out of this chip without overclocking it the good old fashioned way.
@9550pro posted a screenshot of CPU-Z in Chinese showing the Core i5-14600K running in a Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX motherboard, but it's unknown what the rest of the system configuration was. However, it does show the CPU having a clock multiplier ranging from 8 to 55, confirming the 5.5 GHz max CPU clock speed. @wxnod posted a picture of an MSI Z690 Edge TI WiFi DDR4 motherboard with a Core i7-14700K paired with 16 GB of DDR4 memory running at 4600 MHz on Gear 1, which in itself is a feat, although it's unknown if this was stable. The CPU was shown as running at 6.3 GHz, which is most likely a manual overclock of the CPU, as the Core i7-14700K isn't expected to be a 6 GHz plus part. We're getting close to the launch of Intel's 14th gen Core processors, so we won't have to wait too long to find out the full specs of these CPUs.
Update 07:17 UTC: Twitter/X bot Benchleaks has found some Geekbench results for the Core i5-14600K which @harukaze5719 made a nice graph of that we've added below. This suggests that Intel has managed to eke out quite a bit of extra performance from these "refreshed" CPUs.

that would be wild to see. the performance on that would be bonkers for so many games that just use a couple cores.
Would have been better something different core arrangement, like 8P 4E Cores.
Turning off e-cores running at low load I think might save 10w or so. Those do serve a nice purpose of taking care of background processes and system interrupts (scheduling capacity), so I suggest you dont do it.
If one is willing to dive into the hidden power settings in windows (a lot of which are cpu scheduler related), you can do quite a lot of tweaking. Thats better than just going turn off e-cores in bios, but still not a game changer in terms of doing some kind of miracle overclock, I think those days are over as now the manufacturers almost maximise the potential out of the factory. For me I now concentrate on power efficiency instead, as the current factory focus is winning performance reviews no matter the cost temp/power wise. (essentially the same thing overclockers traditionally did).
I do plan to release my schemes (power plans) on TPU with documentation of how they configured, dont know when will be though, they aim to be optimised for specific types of use.
- 5% higher clocks
- Maybe better memory support
- Core i7 getting four more E-cores
Did I miss anything?www.anandtech.com/show/17047/the-intel-12th-gen-core-i912900k-review-hybrid-performance-brings-hybrid-complexity/4
for something with 8 e cores, that's 48w. Not exactly a small number. More importantly, turning them off turns that silicon into an extended die for the P cores to sink heat into, and into the IHS for cooling, helping to somewhat alleviate the issue of tiny transistors shedding heat.As if the P cores cannot handle that. AMD manages to compete with intel without using such E cores.
I am going to test turning them off in the bios completely and see if there is a lower power draw.
