Description of the processor

The 14th generation Intel Core i7-14700K / Intel Core i7-14700KF is the only CPU to receive a significant improvement over the previous generation. In addition to the 8 large P-cores (Raptor Cove architecture), the Intel Core i7-14700KF now also has 12 E-cores (Gracemont architecture). Compared to the previous model, the Intel Core i7-13700KF, these are an additional 4 E-cores.

In addition to the four additional E-cores, the clock frequency of the Intel Core i7-14700KF has also increased by 200 MHz for the P-cores and 100 MHz for the E-cores. In multi-core benchmarks, the Intel Core i7-14700KF can gain up to 20 percent compared to the previous model under full load. Other 14th generation CPUs can hardly differentiate themselves from their predecessor models with the same number of cores.

Nothing has changed in terms of RAM support in the 14th generation. Up to 192 GB in two memory channels (maximum four memory modules) is still supported. This results in a maximum memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB per second when using DDR5-5600 memory.

The Intel Core i7-14700KF has 28 MB Level 2 cache and 33 MB Level 3 cache, a total of 7 MB more than the Intel Core i7-13700KF. The increased amount of cache results from the additional 4 E-cores of the processor.

Devices can be connected via PCIe 5.0 with 20 lines (CPU). Thats enough for a fast graphics card and an M.2 SSD. Additional devices can be powered via the motherboards chipset.

The TDP of the Intel Core i7-14700KF is 125 watts (PL1), but the processor can permanently consume up to 253 watts of energy. The sweet spot of the processor, where the processor has good efficiency with hardly any reduced performance, is probably around 120 to 140 watts. If you want to take advantage of the sweet spot, you just have to set the PL1 and PL2 maximum values in the BIOS to 120 to 140 watts (varies depending on the CPU).
