Core i9-14900K, Core i7-14700K CPUs Benchmarked

Core i9-14900K is up to 14% faster than Core i7-14700K.

Intel’s 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh processors will definitely compete for a spot on the list of best CPUs. Benchmarks for the Core i9-14900K and Core i7-14700K have started to come out, so it shouldn’t be long before Intel releases its new chips.

The Core i9-14900K has eight P-cores and 16 E-cores for a total of 32 threads. It has 24 cores. It replaces the Intel Core i9-13900K, which is the most powerful chip in the 13th Generation Raptor Lake line. The Core i7-14700K, on the other hand, will replace the Core i7-13700K. The Core i7-14700K, on the other hand, has a small change to its core design. The Core i7-14700K has four more E-cores than the Core i7-13700K, which has eight P-cores and eight E-cores.

Since the Core i9-14900K and Core i7-14700K are updates, it makes sense that they will have faster clock speeds than their Raptor Lake predecessors. It’s too bad that Crossmark doesn’t show the clock speeds of the processors. If the early reports are true, the Core i9-14900K may have a 6-GHz boost clock, which is 200 MHz higher than the current Core i9-13900K but the same as the Core i9-13900KS.

As with any early benchmarks, you should take the data with a grain of salt. Crossmark says that the Raptor Lake Refresh processors were in test systems with 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory. This is an interesting choice since Intel’s new platform seems to handle DDR5-6400 right out of the box. The GeForce RTX 4090 was also used as a separate graphics card in both systems.

In general, the Core i9-14900K was up to 14% faster than the Core i7-14700K. If we look at each individual result, we can see that the first group had scores that were 15%, 12%, and 20% higher for output, creativity, and responsiveness. The Core i9-14900K and Core i7-14700K results were much lower than their existing versions, so that’s all we can say about the comparison. Since the results aren’t correct, it doesn’t make sense to compare the chips to their AMD Ryzen competitors.

It’s possible that the chips tested were ES (engineering sample) or QS (qualification sample) silicon with slower clock speeds. One of the chips tested was in an Acer PC, which suggests that it’s an OEM system about which we know nothing, like how it handles power or how it cools.

Even if Raptor Lake Refresh brings a big speed boost, we shouldn’t get our hopes up about it. Supposed Intel performance estimates say that the new hybrid chips may only be 1% to 3% faster than the Raptor Lake chips. Keep in mind that this is an update and possibly the last chance for Intel’s LGA1700 platform to get a breath of life.

There are reports that Raptor Lake Refresh will come out in October. The news could come sooner, though. Intel has set its Intel Innovation 2023 event for September 19 and 20, so the Raptor Lake Refresh could be shown off at that time. Intel has said that Meteor Lake will be discussed at the event, so that’s something to look forward to.
