The New Intel Core i7-14700K Is Up to 20% Faster Than the 13th Gen. Says Leaked Stats
In order to improve performance for multi-threaded workloads, Intel is equipping its i7 CPU with four extra E-cores.
How we get to know?
It was disclosed yesterday that Intel was getting ready to increase the number of cores on at least one of their updated Raptor Lake CPUs, the Core i7-14700K. Now that some specifics have been obfuscated, it appears that this improved chip is already in the hands of testers. Given that it can improve multi-core benchmark results by up to 20%, this CPU would be a good upgrade option for some Alder or Raptor Lake users. It begs the issue of whether Intel has upgraded other CPUs in the lineup with a few additional cores or whether this particular SKU is the only one to do so.
A screenshot from a Twitter account known for sharing hardware leaks shows the Core i7-14700K doing many benchmarks, including AIDA64, Cinebench, and CPU-Z. Wxnod, a Twitter user, posted the screen capture but for some reason masked out the core counts.
Tom's Hardware notes that a different Twitter user was able to decode the confused information and confirm that the processor does indeed have 20 cores and 28 threads, as we previously reported. That represents a minor improvement over the Core i7-13700K, which has 16 cores and 24 threads thanks to an 8+8 P-and-E arrangement. The linked samples demonstrate how the 8+12 arrangement on the 14700K, which has four more efficiency cores, appears to have affected multi-core workloads.
Intel's Generation 14th Computer's Processor Features:
For instance, the i7-13700K scored 28,192 in Cinebench in PCMag's review while the 14700K scored 32,696, an increase of 28%. However, there is only a 17.5% difference between Tom's score and this one, so the user experience may differ. The fact that this is the same architecture with just four more cores is interesting, but that degree of improvement from a single design to the next is still to be expected. It is not that surprising that single-core performance in the same test was nearly identical between the CPUs. The test results that were leaked also reveal enhanced cache and memory performance, presumably as a result of updated motherboards or memory modules, although the particulars of what changed are yet unknown.
The highest possible clock Frequency's is also displayed by the leak. The chip's maximum clock frequency is also revealed to be 5.5GHz by the leak, an increase of 100MHz over the 13700K's top speed of 5.4GHz. The slight clock increase we expect from a mid-cycle upgrade is here, but adding cores is a whole new story.
Since new chips are expected in October, we'll need to wait a while to see what the lineup will include. While we wait to see what AMD has up its silicon sleeve, we may expect a continuous flow of leaked statistics. However, we don't anticipate the red team to be very active. For its previous platform, it released the AM4 Ryzen 5 5600X3D, but there has been no word about approaching AM5 processors.
