Intel will reportedly increase the CPU core count for 14th Gen Core HX processors

Recent reports have shed some light on the upcoming Intel 14th Gen Core-HX CPUs. It is now claimed that these new processors will have more cores and cache compared to their predecessors.

According to Golden Pig Upgrade Pack, the upcoming 14th Gen Core-HX CPUs are expected to feature more cores and cache compared to the previous generation. It is reported that Intel will be using 8P+16E core dies exclusively for the 14th Gen Core HX, excluding the 8P+8E and 6P+0E configurations used in the 13th Gen lineup. As such, we can expect more L2 cache on the CPU with a lower core count.

While the desktop lineup is anticipated to have minor changes in core count (the exception being the Core i7-14700K), the mobile series will see more significant modifications. Starting with the i7 14700HX, rumours claim it will pack 8x P-cores and 12x E-cores, adding an extra 4x E-cores to the i7-13700HX configuration. On the mid-range segment, the Core i5-14650HX is said to have an 8P+8E configuration, adding 2x P-cores compared to the 13th Gen equivalent. Lastly, the Core i5-14500HX will retain the same core count as the i5-13500HX but pack more L2 cache, which will apparently be enough to match the i5-13650HX.

The Core i9 series is expected to maintain its 8P+16E configuration without any changes to the core count. However, these CPUs may see higher clock speeds and potentially support faster memory speeds on the next-gen mobile platform. As of now, it's unclear when Intel will release the 14th Gen Core HX mobile chips.

KitGuru says: Even if Intel doesn't increase the clock speed, the increased cache on lower core HX chips will at least bring some performance gains with it. As for multi-threaded performance, the extra cores should lead to gains.
