What simply occurred? Intel has lengthy been tipped to launch its Raptor Lake Refresh (RPL-R) lineup later this yr, and up to date leaks have revealed that it’s more likely to be marketed as the corporate’s 14th-gen Core processor sequence. Now, a brand new report has seemingly revealed the specs of at the very least three unlocked Ok-series RPL-R desktop SKUs, together with the Core i9-14900K, i7-14700K, and i5-14600K.
The leak comes from famous {hardware} tipster Benchlife (through momomo_us), and divulges detailed information on the cores, clock speeds, and TDPs of the three aforementioned chips. Beginning off with the Core i9-14900K, it’s anticipated to be the flagship SKU within the RPL-R lineup and can function 16 cores (8 Efficiency + 16 Effectivity) and 32 threads.
The Core i9-14900K is claimed to have a 3.2GHz base frequency and as much as 6GHz enhance speeds, which is 200MHz decrease than earlier rumors. The report, nevertheless, means that the enhance pace is for the pre-QS stage, so the ultimate chip may nonetheless run at as much as 6.2 GHz with Thermal Velocity Increase. In the meantime, different notable options of the 14900K embody as much as 36 MB of Good Cache and a base TDP of 125W.

Shifting onto the Core i7-14700K, the CPU is claimed to come back with 20 cores (8P + 12E) and 28 threads, which might be a pleasant improve over the Core i7-13700K that comes with 16 cores in an 8+8 configuration. The bottom clock pace for this SKU is claimed to be 3.4 GHz, whereas the enhance speeds will reportedly go as much as 5.6 GHz with Intel Thermal Increase Max Know-how 3.0. The 14700K can be rumored to ship with 33 MB of sensible cache and a 125W TDP.
Lastly, there’s the Core i5-14600K, which is predicted to function 14 cores in a 6+8 configuration. It’s mentioned to have a 3.5GHz base frequency, 125W TDP, and 24MB of Good Cache. There is no extra present info on any of the opposite chips within the RPL-R household, however with the lineup expected to launch this October, we may get extra particulars within the coming weeks and months.
Earlier rumors claimed that a lot of the RPL-R chips can be appropriate with present LGA 1700 boards with none firmware updates. The one doable exception might be the Core i7-14700K, which might reportedly require a BIOS replace to work with current LGA1700 motherboards. Both method, if the leaks maintain up, RPL-R might be an fascinating improve over Raptor Lake whilst we anticipate the arrival of Arrow Lake in 2024.
