Core configuration for the forthcoming Core i7-14700K “Raptor Lake Refresh” processor is 8P+12E. In total, there are 3 E-core clusters with a total of 12 “Gracemont” efficiency cores and 8 “Raptor Cove” performance cores. The i7-14700K receives an additional E-core cluster, increases the shared L3 cache size to 33 MB, and boosts the clock speeds on both the P-cores and E-cores in comparison to the i7-13700K. The i7-13700K was created from the “Raptor Lake-S” silicon by turning off 2 out of the 4 available E-core clusters and reducing the L3 cache size from the present 36 MB to 30 MB.

The processor’s P-core base frequency is probably 3.70 GHz, while its P-core maximum boost frequency is 5.50 GHz. The i7-13700K has a P-core boost maximum speed of 5.40 GHz in contrast. According to Cinebench R23 results, an allegedly real i7-14700K engineering sample receives 2192 in the single-threaded test and 36296 in the multi-threaded test. In the CPU-Z Bench multi-threaded test, the chip also received a score of 14988.5. In October 2023, Intel is anticipated to introduce its 14th Gen Core “Raptor Lake Refresh” desktop processors.
