Intel Core i7-14700KF appears on Geekbench

At the Intel Innovation 2023 symposium, Intel delved into the new-generation architecture, Meteor Lake, the forthcoming generation of Xeon Scalable processors, and an expansive roadmap of future products. However, conspicuously absent was any mention of the 14th generation Core processors. Yet, in a digital demonstration, a machine showcasing the Raptor Lake Refresh was discernible.

Recently, benchmark results for the Intel Core i7-14700KF surfaced on Geekbench, revealing a clock speed of 5,500MHz (although it should ostensibly be 5,600MHz). This processor was paired with the Gigabyte Z790 AROUS MASTER X motherboard, supplemented by 48GB of DDR5 RAM. Inquisitive netizens, probing the Geekbench JSON data, inferred that the Intel Core i7-14700KF had been operating at an even loftier frequency of 5,985MHz, suggesting potential overclocking of the CPU.

In Geekbench 6.2’s single-core and multi-core benchmark tests, the Core i7-14700KF garnered scores of 3,097 and 21,196 respectively. Its single-core performance outstripped the Core i7-13700K by approximately 9%, and its multi-core prowess exceeded by around 18%. Notably, the multi-core score of the Core i7-14700KF approaches that of the Core i9-13900KS, with a mere 2.4% disparity between them. Yet, the Core i9-13900KS still retains a discernible edge in single-core performance, besting the Core i7-14700KF by about 9%.

When juxtaposed with its 13th-generation counterpart, the i7-14700K/KF emerges as the most transformative product in the 14th-generation Core lineup. Its core composition has escalated from the 8P+8E configuration of the Core i7-13700K to 8P+12E. Concurrently, the L3 cache has experienced an augmentation from 30MB to 33MB, with a TDP of 125W.
