INTEL Core i7 14700K 14th Generation Processor ( 5.6 GHz / 20 Cores / 28 Threads )

The Intel Core i7-14700K is a 14th Generation desktop processor built on Intel’s Raptor Lake architecture and manufactured using the Intel 7 process node. It carries the product code BX8071514700K and fits the FCLGA1700 socket, making it compatible with existing LGA1700 motherboards. At its core, the i7-14700K uses Intel’s hybrid architecture, combining 8 Performance-cores with 12 Efficient-cores for a total of 20 cores and 28 threads. The Performance-cores reach a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.5 GHz, while the Efficient-cores operate at a 2.5 GHz base and boost up to 4.3 GHz. The overall maximum turbo frequency, achieved via Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, is 5.6 GHz. The processor features 33 MB of Intel Smart Cache (L3) and 28 MB of total L2 cache, providing generous die storage to reduce memory latency during demanding workloads. Memory support extends to DDR5 at up to 5600 MT/s and DDR4 at up to 3200 MT/s across two channels, with a maximum supported capacity of 192 GB and a peak bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Connectivity is handled through 20 PCIe lanes — 16 lanes of PCIe 5.0 and 4 lanes of PCIe 4.0 — with configurations supporting up to 1×16+4 or 2×8+4. The DMI 4.0 interface provides 8 lanes to the chipset. Intelligent task scheduling is managed by Intel Thread Director, which works with the operating system to place workloads on the appropriate core type in real time. Additional platform technologies include Intel Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA 3.0) for AI-assisted noise suppression and background blurring, Intel Deep Learning Boost for accelerated AI inference, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Intel Speed Shift Technology, and Hyper-Threading on the Performance-cores. The processor base power (TDP) is 125 W, with a maximum turbo power of 253 W. Junction temperature is rated to 100 °C. A third-party cooler meeting PCG 2020A specifications is required; no cooler is included in the box. The package dimensions are 45.0 mm × 37.5 mm.
