Leak details Intel 14th Gen Core CPU specs

The upcoming Raptor Lake Refresh from Intel will reportedly bring important changes to the entry-level and mid-range segments, including higher core counts, increased clock speeds, and support for faster DDR5 memory. In the latest leak, we get details for the full 14th Gen Core line-up of processors. 

According to RedGamingTech, Intel will not be adding more cores to the Core i9 lineup. However, rumours suggest these will get higher clock speeds than their predecessors, featuring a maximum boost clock of 6.0GHz for the i9-14900K and 6.2GHz for the i9-14900KS variant.

Moving on to the 14th Gen Core i7, these processors will feature up to 20 cores and 28 threads. This configuration has been used in the mobile Core i7-13850HX processor but has not been seen in desktop CPUs before. As for the 14th Gen Core i5, Intel is reportedly planning to include 16 cores and 24 threads for the i5-14600. Lastly, the i3 will reportedly get two more P-cores for a total of 6x P-cores, matching the 12th Gen Core i5.

Support for DLVR (Dynamic Voltage Regulation) is yet to be confirmed, but Asus has mentioned the possibility of enabling it on future CPUs. DLVR has the potential to improve power efficiency by 20%, meaning you could either get lower temperatures at the same clock speed or higher clocks with the same power consumption. Either case would bring benefits to the Raptor Lake refresh, which is expected to debut in October.

KitGuru says: What CPU are you currently running on your desktop? Are you planning on jumping to the 14th Gen Core series once it releases?
