Intel accidentally confirmed the processor model numbers of its entire upcoming 14th Gen Core desktop processor lineup, as part of a PDF describing packaging materials to its channel partners. The list details processor model numbers with their corresponding S-SPEC codes. It covers not just the enthusiast-friendly K and KF brand extensions, but also the regular non-K ones, as well as special variants, such as F (lacks integrated graphics), and T (low power). These could very well be the last Intel Core processors to retain the classic Intel Core nomenclature that's been around since the 2008 Core "Nehalem" processors.

The lineup is led by the Core i9 series, with the i9-14900K and i9-14900KF on the top (the latter lacks integrated graphics). These two will cater to the enthusiast market, and pack overclocking features. The rest of the Core i9 series includes the i9-14900, i9-14900F, and the i9-14900T. These chips are mostly identical to the i9-14900K/KF, but lack unlocked multipliers, and feature lower power limits. Next up is the Core i7 series, with five SKUs of its own—the i7-14700K, i7-14700KF, i7-14700, i7-14700F, and i7-14700T. We know from earlier leaks that the 14th Gen Core i7 processors see a generational core-count increase to 8P+12E, with 33 MB of L3 cache.



The Core i5 lineup is the biggest chunk of the 14th Gen, with there being three distinct sub-classes. The Core i5-14600K and i5-14600KF lead the pack, and are rumored to feature a 6P+8E core configuration with larger 2 MB L2 caches per P-core, and 4 MB L2 caches per E-core cluster. This is followed by the i5-14600 (non-K), i5-14600T, i5-14500, and i5-14500T, with 6P+8E configuration, but smaller 1.25 MB L2 caches per P-core, and 2 MB L2 caches per E-core cluster. At the lower end of the lineup are the Core i5-14400, i5-14400F, and i5-14400T, with 6P+4E configuration, with 1.25 MB L2 cache per P-core, and 2 MB L2 for the sole E-core cluster.

There are just three Core i3 SKUs, the Core i3-14100, i3-14100F, and i3-14100T, which are likely 4P+0E chips, with speed-bumps over the previous generation. If you recall, Intel has retired the Pentium brand for the desktop, and so the absolute entry-level for this generation sees the Intel Processor 300 and 300T.

Still waiting for them to blurt out saner prices. $400 for 14600k is... just no.

That Core Ultra nonsense is for mobile parts where MTL will live alongside its predecessor for a while. Since there are no (known?) plans to mix architectures on the desktop, hopefully we won't see that awful naming scheme either.

As I understand, there will be changes in desktop CPUs too. At least the "i" will be retired.

I want an Intel 300. :p
You'll be able to buy a Processor 300, which we may as well call the P-300 in short.

I don't have a problem with the retirement of the "i". I have a problem with actually mixing architectures and having to distinguish between them by whether there's an "Ultra" in there. I can do that, of course, but for those that don't spend as much time following Intel it's going to be fun. (At the same time, I am fully aware Intel would be crucified if they mixed architectures without distinguishing somehow the model names.)

Hm, is Ultra going to denote a newer architecture or a higher-tier model regardless of architecture?

That remains to be seen. I think it denotes the architecture, because for tiers we already have 3/5/7/9 - dead-simple to understand, with or without "i".

The whole "ultra" thing is just intel chasing apple's naming scheme for the M series, the m2, m2 pro, m2 max, and m2 ultra. Of course, the m2 ultra is a lot more impressive then whatever intel core ultra will be coming out.

Yes, "Core" and "Core Ultra" bears a striking resemblance to "M2", "M2 Pro", "M2 Max" and "M2 Ultra". It cannot be inspired by anything else :wtf:

Model number 14900? Seems about right. With all that extreme and increasing product segmentation, I'm sure Intel has designed, made and sold about 14900 different processors since 1971.

I'm curious about intel processor 300 and 300T and how will be after pentium and celeron retired, it's kind be interesting if intel selling this cpus as boxed products because almost nobody building a PC with this cpu, only pre-build OEM manufactures making a PC with this cpu

Am I the only one that thinks keeping the Celeron and Pentium names would have been a good idea? They were recognizable brand names that people know. All this renaming and marketing bullshit just makes everything more confusing for all involved.

No, celeron was cool over 20 years ago as they could be overclocked like crazy but that didn't last all that long.
and pentium hasn't been a premium product for what 18 years now?

now they are products you find in computers at big box stores and learn to hate.

If i were intel I would have dumped the entire core thing too now AMD took their lunch
