Intel 14th Gen Core Marketing Material Leaked, Basic Specs Confirmed

[T0@st]

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.

That’s Japanese incase anybody wants to translate it

Thanks, Google lens!

Will they increase the cache size for the 14600K ?

Will they increase the cache size for the 14600K ?

Previous leaks seem to have it sharing the same cache allocations as found on the Core i5-13600K.

Will they increase the cache size for the 14600K ?

No, only 14700K by virtue of the extra 4 e-cores.

This is a stop gap product which should see small increase in performance, but likely huge increase in peak power consumption due to the higher clockspeed.

The 14900K memory speed DR5-6000 96.0 GB/S and the 6 GHz will be interesting.

What!? You want me to translate the hardware times article???

Obvious bait is obvious.

 

[Slizzo]

8P12E is a interesting SKU for the i7, makes a lot more sense to me to chuck a few more E cores at the i& SKU.

In many cases, I agree.

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.

No. It says right there in the article: it's Intel

When they will start to put more real cores on their CPUs?

How many more do you need? Going by your system specs, you haven't gone for the maximum number of cores AMD gives you today.
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.

My budget gaming rigs don't have anything to do with that Intel doesn't innovate anything new. Yeah, a new architecture since Skylake but just eight real cores and some Atom cores on the side.

So all you need a mid-to-high end CPU. You just want Intel to add more cores for good measure. I suppose that's one way to look at things...

Do you really need more cores ? For what, exactly?
