Non-K Raptor Lake Refresh processors specs clarified
For those who don’t know, Intel Raptor Lake Refresh, exactly as the name suggests, will bring minor optimizations to the current 13th Gen Raptor Lake processors. So the new CPUs will continue to use the Intel 7 processing node and will be compatible with existing LGA 1700/1800 motherboards. So what will the family’s non-K models offer? Let’s take a look together.
According to new reports, the Intel Core i7-14900/F will have a 2GHz base clock speed, 36MB cache, and a configuration with 24 cores-32 threads, similar to the current i9-13900K. A sub-model Core i7-14700/F will showcase 20 cores, 28 threads, 2.1GHz base clock and 33MB cache compared to the current model (16C-24T).
Previous reports have shown us that the i5-14400 and i3-14100 could also receive similar upgrades. However, it seems that Intel will not make any changes. At this point, the Core i5-14400/F model is expected to have 10 cores, 16 threads, 2.5GHz base clock speed and 20MB cache.
The mid-range solutions, the i5-14600 and 14500, will retain a 14 core 20 thread configuration while having a base clock speed of 2.7GHz and 2.6GHz, respectively, and 24MB of cache. Intel Raptor Lake locked processors will likely be available in the first quarter of next year. It is also expected that Intel will not make any significant changes in pricing.
