Intel is set to announce its next-generation desktop processor lineup later this month as an upgrade over the 13th-generation ‘Raptor Lake’ series launched late last year. A lot has been written and drawn about the new series called ‘Raptor Lake Refresh’. While there are a few weeks left until the launch, all models of Intel 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh processors have been leaked.
What will Intel 14th Generation processors be like?
The new processor series has been in the news frequently in recent weeks, thanks to numerous leaks that have revealed some important details, including core counts and clock speeds of some of the most important SKUs (special product identification code), including the flagship Core i9 14900K . Now a new leak has seemingly revealed the key features of the entire series.
The Raptor Lake Refresh lineup can feature more than two dozen models, starting with a few entry-level Intel 300 series chips and extending all the way to the flagship. According to the list, i9 units will consist of five units: Core i9-14900K, 14900KF, 14900F, 14900T and 14900. All of these will reportedly have 24 cores, including 8 Performance cores and 16 Efficiency cores.
Looking at the Core i7 series, it looks like it will have 4 SKUs including Core i7-14700K, 14700KF, 14700 and 14700T. All of them are said to have 20 cores, including 8 Performance cores and 12 Efficiency cores, and have up to 33MB of L3 cache. This could mean that future Core i7 CPUs will have more cores than their predecessors.
As for the Core i5 series, the leaked document suggests that it may come with a number of different core configurations, including 6 Performance + 4 Efficiency cores for the Core i5-14400, 14400F and 14400T, and 6 Performance + 4 Efficiency Cores for the Core i5-14500, 14500T, 14600. The 14600T, 14600K and 14600KF can all have a 6 Performance + 8 Efficiency core configuration.
Finally, the entire Core i3 series, which is said to include only 3 SKUs, Core i3-14100, 14100F and 14100T, will only be processors with 4 Performance cores and 12 MB L3 cache. Finally, the series will also include dual-core Intel 300 and 300T CPUs with 6 MB L3 cache and 3.9 GHz clock speed.
