Intel 14th Gen Core Marketing Material Leaked, Basic Specs Confirmed
Retailers in East Asia have reportedly chosen to go live with marketing imagery depicting Intel's initial batch of 14th Gen Core SKUs—this is roughly two weeks ahead of an official October 17 "Raptor Lake Refresh" product launch. A couple of "official" slides have been forwarded to VideoCardz—the information on display provides a quick overview of basic specifications for Core i9, Core i7 and Core i5 models. The 6 GHz clock and 24 core configuration is believed to be the upcoming flagship Core i9-14900K SKU. The Core i7-14700K would fit the bill of sporting a 5.6 GHz and 20-core setup—leaked marketing info confirms that this new model has been bolstered with an additional four Gracemont E-cores. The Core i5-14600K seems to align with the 5.3 GHz and 14-core spec. A premature publication of information is not all that surprising—a couple of marketing slides breaking embargo is relatively minor when compared to actual working hardware getting demoed during summertime. ITHome reported on Raptor Lake Refresh and Meteor Lake appearing on the showroom floor at July's Bilibili World.

Obvious bait is obvious.

However, I think an i7-14700k could have real potential if one limits the PL1/PL2. I’m contemplating doing that since I have a motherboard I really like in a build I’m happy with. It has been shown if one sets limits, one can keep the upper-end CPUs at much higher efficiency with minimal loss to performance. Having a 13600k, I could see some gains from the core count increase.
I went from a 6600k to a 12600k. The difference in what do every day was slim-to-none. If improved times for photo edits and probably a few other things that escape me right now, but for most tasks, it would appear that old 4c/4t was still perfectly adequate.
