High-performance 20-core near-top-level processors from the 14th generation Intel Core i7 family (Raptor Lake Refresh, 10 nm). They offer significant improvements in performance over previous Core i7 models (such as the 12th and 13th generation). For example, the most advanced Core i7-14700K compared to its predecessor Core i7-13700K guarantees a significant increase in performance thanks to the addition of four additional E-cores.
Judging by the tests, the performance increase in multi-threaded tasks is about 20%. It is built according to the scheme 12 E-cores + 8 P-cores, and the number of simultaneously processed threads is 28 pieces. The base frequency of P-cores is 3.4 GHz, and the maximum turbo frequency reaches 5.6 GHz. E-cores operate at frequencies from 2.5 to 4.3 GHz. The processor has 33 MB L3 cache.
The maximum heat dissipation (TDP) is 125 W, and the maximum power in turbo mode reaches 253 W. Intel Core i7 Raptor Lake Refresh processors are compatible with the LGA 1700 platform and require a BIOS update to fully support new features. They support DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 RAM, providing high bandwidth and expandability for modern systems. Plus, Core i7 chips without the F prefix are equipped with built-in UHD Graphics 770, which is quite enough for online games like Fortnite, Apex Legends and PUBG.
For more demanding games you will need a discrete graphics card. Overall, the 14th generation Core i7 chips claim to be powerful gaming processors with a solid margin of safety for the future. They can also provide a reliable foundation for production builds for coders, designers, animators, beatmakers, VFX specialists and other creative industry workers who need a modern, high-performance system.
Always clarify the specifications and configuration of the product with the online store manager before purchasing.

Evolution or revolution?
Most experts agree that the 14th generation of Intel Core processors turned out to be walking in place. Compared to the 13th generation chips, their clock speeds have increased slightly, but that's all. However, in this uninteresting company there is still a black sheep in the person of the Core i7-14700K processor. In his case, Intel engineers did some serious work, increasing the number of cores and threads to 20 and 28, respectively. For comparison, the predecessor Core i7-13700K had 16 cores and 24 threads, and the maximum clock speed of the P-cores reached 5.4 GHz. The new product can accelerate to 5.6 GHz.
Results in games at the Core i9-14900K level
In general, the performance characteristics of the Core i7-14700K are such that comparisons arise not so much with previous generations of Core i7, but with the flagship chips of the Core i9 series. For example, in conjunction with the GeForce RTX 4080, this processor provides performance virtually at the level of the Core i9-14900K! The difference in power is only 2-3%, while the official price of the Core i7-14700K is almost $200 lower than that of the Core i9-14900K.
Powerful gaming processor for years to come
The existence of processors like the Core i7-14700K calls into question the idea of buying the flagship Core i9 and Ryzen 9 processors, especially when it comes to gaming PCs with 2K and 4K monitors. The performance difference between them is gradually narrowing, while pairing with the Core i7 you can use a simpler motherboard and a less bulky cooling system. However, you will need a fairly powerful power supply, since power consumption is approximately at the level of the Core i9-14900K.
