Intel has leaked a few of its personal advertising bumph pertaining to incoming next-gen desktop processors, Raptor Lake Refresh, giving us particulars on specs for some key fashions.
The fabric comes from Intel Japan, as found by VideoCardz, and these would symbolize the official specs (assuming, naturally, that the tech web site hasn’t been duped by some means and these are fakes – although that appears unlikely, they usually’d be elaborate ones, for positive).
Intel’s spilled slides present a trio of 14th-gen CPUs with out naming them, nevertheless it’s apparent sufficient which processors they correspond with – they usually align totally with beforehand leaked specs on the rumor mill.
The fashions are merely known as Core i9, Core i7 and Core i5. The Core-i9 is proven with 24 cores (8 efficiency, 16 effectivity) and a lift of as much as 6GHz, and that is the flagship 14900K, in fact.
The Core i7 is the 14700K, proven with 20 cores (8 efficiency, 12 effectivity) and a prime increase pace of 5.6GHz. Lastly, the Core i5 corresponds to the 14600K with 14 cores (6 efficiency, 8 effectivity) and a 5.3GHz increase.
Evaluation: All of the leaks are coming collectively now
We’ve seen a lot of leakage across the Core i5-14600K of late, and the 5.3GHz increase pace was rumored in these studies – it’s a stable 200MHz step up from the 13600K, in fact. Efficiency rumors across the 14600K make this chip seem like one to observe, as we mentioned earlier this week.
The opposite Raptor Lake Refresh CPU making waves as a doubtlessly tempting improve is a second processor talked about right here, specifically the 14700K. That is the one one to up the core rely from its Raptor Lake predecessor, in keeping with very persistent rumors, and certainly the spec from the Intel slide confirms (caveats round attainable fabrication apart) the purported 20-core loadout, with an additional 4 effectivity cores.
Whereas these are the chips which have generated a lot of the joy so far – together with Raptor Lake Refresh’s overclocking potential, which appears sturdy – the 14900K additionally has extra pep in its step due to that 6GHz increase pace. It’s the primary time that mannequin has reached this degree (the 13900K featured a lift as much as 5.8GHz, so once more, the Raptor Lake Refresh successor is 200MHz sooner, and that’ll be the uplift throughout most of those processors, rumor has it).
The opposite level to keep in mind right here is that presentation supplies like this have a tendency to leak out when a launch is imminent, plus we’ve seen spillage of retail packing containers just lately too, all of which backs up the sturdy rumor that Intel is about to launch Raptor Lake Refresh. The speculation is an October 16 reveal adopted by the 14th-gen desktop processors occurring sale the subsequent day.
Pricing will in fact be a significant factor as to how effectively these key fashions carry out in difficult for a spot on our listing of the finest processors. We stay cautiously hopeful on that entrance.
