In a recent leak, details about various upcoming Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake non-K CPUs have surfaced, shedding light on their specifications, pricing, and what users can expect from these locked variants. The leak, originating from a Spain-based online store, coolmod.com, reveals several non-K processors, including i9-14900, i7-14700, i5-14500, i5-14400, and i3-14100, each offering a slightly different performance profile.
The leaked information indicates a decrease in core clocks when compared to their K-Series counterparts, emphasizing the locked nature of these processors. With a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 65W, these CPUs boast lower power consumption, making them an attractive option for users seeking efficiency.
Intel 14th Gen Lineup Expansion:
While the K-Series processors like i9-14900K and i7-14700K have already made their debut, this leak provides insights into the broader 14th Gen lineup, specifically the non-K variants. These processors offer a different user experience, limiting customization by preventing modifications to clock speeds or voltage.
Leaked Details and Pricing:
The leak showcases box art, prices, and clock speeds of the upcoming Intel 14th Gen non-K CPUs. Notably, the prices seem to be slightly lower than their unlocked counterparts, making them a potentially more affordable choice for users.
| Intel 14th Gen Non-K (Locked) CPU Variants | Leaked Specifications | Leaked Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Intel Core i9-14900 | Up to 5.80 GHz, 24 cores & 32 threads, 36 MB Intel Smart Cache, 65W TDP | $662 |
| Intel Core i7-14700 | Up to 5.40 GHz, 20 cores & 28 threads, 33 MB Intel Smart Cache, 65W TDP | $452 |
| Intel Core i5-14500 | Up to 5.0 GHz, 14 cores & 20 threads, 33 MB Intel Smart Cache, 65W TDP | $275 |
| Intel Core i5-14400 | Up to 4.70 GHz, 10 cores & 16 threads, 33 MB Intel Smart Cache, 65W TDP | $275 |
| Intel Core i3-14100 | Up to 4.70 GHz, 4-core processor, 33 MB Intel Smart Cache, 65W TDP | $165 |
Cooler Inclusions:
One significant revelation from the leak is that these non-K series processors will come bundled with the stock Intel CPU cooler in black color. While this cooler may have limitations during extended workloads, it provides a convenient solution for users not looking to invest in a separate cooling solution.
What to Anticipate:
As Intel’s 14th Gen non-K processors enter the scene, users can expect a more budget-friendly option for entry-level and mid-range PC builds. The i3-14100 and i5-14500, in particular, may prove to be attractive choices for those seeking a balance between performance and affordability.
The leaked prices, converted from Euros to USD, are subject to change, and users should stay tuned for official announcements from Intel regarding the complete 14th Gen lineup.
