Intel Core i5-14600K Benchmarked
An Intel Core i5-14600K processor has been benchmarked roughly a month before its expected rollout at retail—previous leaks have this particular model placed as the most wallet friendly offering within a range of 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" CPUs. A total of six SKUs, with K and KF variants, are anticipated to launch on October 17. An official unveiling of new processor product lineups is scheduled for tomorrow at Team Blue's Innovation event. China's ECSM has managed to acquire an engineering sample (ES) of the aforementioned i5-14600K model, and put it through the proverbial ringer in Cinebench R23, Cinebench 2024, and CPU-Z. The brief report did not disclose any details regarding exact testbench conditions, so some of the results could be less than reliable/accurate.
ECSM's screenshot from CPU-Z re-confirms the Core i5-14600K's already leaked specs—six high-performance Raptor Cove cores running at a 3.50 GHz base clock, going up to 5.30 GHz (a 200 MHz gain over its predecessor: Core i5-13600K). Eight efficiency-oriented Gracemont cores running up to 4.0 GHz—100 MHz more than on the predecessor. The Core i5-14600K and i5-13600K share the same designations of 24 MB L3 cache and 125 W PBP—the leaked engineering sample was shown to have a core voltage of 1.2 V. The previous gen CPU operates on 1.14 V. ECSM noted that CPU package power consumption reached 160 W, and: "currently, the burn-in voltage is still quite out of control, especially for the two 8P models, both of which are at 1.4 V+. However, there is still a lot of room for manual voltage reduction."

That's actually really good.
To put that into perspective, A Threadripper 3960X with 24 cores (smallest TR3000 with the worst performance per watt) reaches 30k points in Cinebench R23 at 280W, vs the 25k for the 14600K at assumed 253W.
Also interesting to see a 10% increase in Cinbench 2024, when the other benchmarks only see single digit improvements.
Note for the TR 3000 chips, the IO-die usually just eats up 100W at any power state.
So the comparison performance per watt for the Ryzen 7000 would be interesting. Keep also in mind the 14th gen chips are only slight reworks of the 13th gen chips, if you ignore the lower end 13th gen which are still 12th gen chips renamed.
same would be w/ a 7800x
as for the 7800x3d, that's something else entirely but thats competing against i9s (on gaming only tho) but yea
That's just about the way I ran my 8700K early on. Such progress
P only? not good for 6 cores.
That could be their PL1 throttle state as well, rather than peak values - or limited by the testers motherboard/BIOS.
This gives AMD a good chance to perhaps take the lead? Or maybe nothing real will happen, who knows, I clearly don't
None of the above - 100% CPU usage and no Throttle state
My undervolted 13700K pulls 210W @ 5.3Ghz (stock) during cinebench, so these chips are actually pretty efficient if you don't yeet them at 1.4v at 5.9ghz.
But now consider the fact these turbo to double the wattage too. I doubt there are many real perf/w improvements in a vast number of workloads when both CPUs run stock.
You don't think there are many perf / w improvements? A 12900k at 35 watts is much faster than a 8700k at stock running at what, 140 watts if I remember correctly? How much improvement do you expect? The 14600k should be faster than your 8700k while consuming 1/4 of the wattage. That is INSANE actually. If we had that progress on any other devices in that short amount of time, air conditions would be consuming 50 watts now blasting at full load.
