INTEL Core i5 14600K 14th Generation Processor ( 5.3 GHz / 14 Cores / 20 Threads )

The Intel Core i5-14600K is a 14th Generation desktop processor built on the Intel 7 process node and designed for the LGA 1700 socket (FCLGA1700), making it compatible with Intel 700-series motherboards and select 600-series boards (with a BIOS update). It combines 6 Performance-cores and 8 Efficient-cores for a total of 14 cores and 20 threads, delivering responsive multitasking across gaming, content creation, and everyday productivity. The Performance-cores run at a base frequency of 3.5 GHz and boost up to 5.3 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, while the Efficient-cores operate at a base of 2.6 GHz and boost to 4.0 GHz. Intel Thread Director works at the hardware level to intelligently assign workloads to the right core type in real time, optimising both performance and efficiency simultaneously. For storage and expansion, the i5-14600K supports up to 20 PCIe lanes across both PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 generations (configurations up to 1×16+4 or 2×8+4), connected via a DMI 4.0 interface with 8 lanes to the chipset. Memory support extends to dual-channel DDR5 at up to 5600 MT/s or DDR4 at up to 3200 MT/s, with a maximum capacity of 192 GB and ECC support. Maximum memory bandwidth is rated at 89.6 GB/s. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 (Xe architecture, 32 Execution Units) provides display output via HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, and eDP 1.4b, supporting up to four simultaneous displays. Maximum resolutions are 7680×4320 at 60 Hz over DisplayPort and 4096×2160 at 60 Hz over HDMI. The processor also includes Intel Quick Sync Video for hardware-accelerated video encoding and decoding. The processor is unlocked for overclocking. Its Processor Base Power (TDP) is 125 W with a Maximum Turbo Power of 181 W. No thermal solution is included in the box — a compatible aftermarket cooler is required. Advanced platform technologies include Intel Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0, Intel Deep Learning Boost, Intel Speed Shift, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep, and hardware-based security features such as Intel AES New Instructions, Intel Boot Guard, Control-Flow Enforcement Technology, and Virtualization Technology (VT-x and VT-d).
