Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh Full Lineup Leaks Out
Six Intel 14th Gen Core Raptor Lake-S Refresh SKUs were prematurely listed by an e-tailer late last month, with the already leaked Core i9-14900K CPU model popping up again (a week later) via CPU-Z and Geekbench tests. This higher end K and KF product lineup is expected to launch at some point next month—according to the rumor mill. Team Blue could be preparing cheaper non-K models for an unveiling at CES 2024, but a leaker has decided to spoil the fun way in advance. YuuKi_AnS uploaded an allegedly extremely comprehensive list of 14th Gen SKUs, complete with full specifications to their X/Twitter handle. This grants an early glimpse of lowly Intel 300 and 300T models—both featuring a 2P+0E core configuration—these appear to be modern successors to (now retired) Pentium Gold and Celeron branded budget-friendly processor families.
It should be noted that the leaked slide (dated September 5) states that everything sitting within the table is a qualification sample (QS), therefore these chips are subject to change due to their pre-production nature. Parts of the table look a bit iffy—support for DDR5 memory varies across the range, while EEC memory support is also very inconsistent. Intel seems to be sticking with the usual set of three different die designs for desktop Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs—Tom's Hardware points out that: "the B0 die (8P-16E) powers SKUs from the Core i5-14600 and up, while the C0 (8P+8E) die targets models from Core i5-14400 to Core i5-14500T. On the contrary, the H0 (6P+0E) die, which is the lowest of the trio, will be inside the Intel 300 to Core i3-14100T chips."
Wccftech has kindly extracted and compiled the leaked info into an easier to read format. Price estimates are also included:
Projections have Raptor Lake Refresh coming in at a 15% premium over the preceding—13th Gen Core—product lineup.

I dont give two shits about an iGPU. The only time i would use it is if my GPU went out and i needed to wait for a replacement and still needed to use my computer. Other than that, who cares what the graphics performance of the 15th gen CPU is?
Like bug said, if i were to wait another year/year and a half, why not just wait until 16th gen? Then 17th gen? Theres no point.
How dare you come into this forum as a new member and INSULT a senior member of the community. Go fuck yourself.
A guy the other day said you need 13900ks or a 7800x 3d for a 4090 and that my 12900k bottlenecks it. At 4k of all things. ROFL, people are crazy.
RTX 5000 will be a generational leap? thank you captain obvious we didnt know. can we buy them now at Walmart or do u think ebay will restock soon?
As showcased by CPU scaling there is no difference at 4K between a 13900K/7800X3D/13700K when driven by a 4090 . Hell you can even go down to i5 teritorry and see as little as 2-3% perf drop which you can't perceive. In the future you will be even more GPU limited within those 3-5yrs with more demanding games coming out etc .
Bottom line is CPU isn't your priority, GPU is and considering you are not going to wait for next gen GPUs , anything over a 7800X3D/13700K you are just throwing money out of the window for no reason other than throwing money out of the window . Don't get me wrong if that's your thing then all good but if you are doing so under the impression that you are ''futureproofing'' your system then it's an erroneous impression.
Wasted money will do you much better service when invested into future upgrades or something entirely else !
22% bottleneck maybe at 480p or something. Not in any sane resolutionIf we are talking about actual AAA games none of the CPUs on that list would make any difference at 4k. Not even 1%.
Will the new CPU be better? Yeah, but probably upgrading to a 4090 would be an even greater improvement at 4K, do both if that makes you happy and money ain't something you have to worry about
And if your only concern is gaming then 9900K@5 GHz is more than fine at 4K for a couple years more. ESPECIALLY if you don't need more than 60 FPS.
i7-14700k (20 cores / 28 threads) = i7-13700k + 15% (up to 20%) (16 cores / 24 threads)
i9-14900k (24 cores / 32 threads) = i9-13900k + 8% (up to 10%) (24 cores / 32 threads)
(about)
it's not worth spending money on the 14th generation, I advise you to aim for the 15th generation, which will have to change the socket (the 12th, 13th and 14th generation processors use LGA 1700, while from the 15th generation processors we will use the mothers with LGA 1851 socket, for example z890) and not only that, the 15th generation processors will probably be the processors to be combined with NVIDIA RTX 5000 series video cards.
(edit: 14th generation processors are last socket LGA 1700)
Just because you have disposable income, doesnt mean the rest of us do. And if you do, how about you send some my way? I could really use the help. Otherwise, try considering what someone is going through and what they are able to afford instead of assuming we can all just wait another year.
holiday sales are coming soon and I can almost see microcenter in the US giving out free ram , boards with certain intel chips lol. Can’t really beat that I mean you can wait for 15th gen or fourth coming of zen or whatever you ain’t gonna get a premium setup for less than 1k
Saying this as someone who came from a 10850K to a 12700KF. There are a lot of places outside of games that you'll see benefit as well, there's a big difference going from Skylake to AL and its derivatives. I don't know that a 14900K is necessary but up to you, a 14700K would be a solid option too IMO.
This guy went from 10700 to 13700K with a 3080Ti and posted his results. He re-used DDR4-3000. Pretty significant.
