MSI claims that the performance of Intel 14th Gen Core has increased by an average of 3%

On September 19th and 20th of 2023, Intel is poised to host the “Intel Innovation” summit in San Jose, California. It’s highly anticipated that the unveiling of their 14th generation Core processors—namely, the Raptor Lake Refresh—will transpire. However, this is expected to pertain solely to the K/KF models. Concurrently, motherboard manufacturers, like MSI, are ardently finalizing preparations in anticipation of the imminent processor launch, initiating relevant product training.

According to a report by VideoCardz, MSI presented, in a product training video, their latest line-up of Intel 700 series motherboards and forthcoming PC cases. Within this exposition, a concise segment was dedicated to shedding light on some facets of Intel’s 14th-generation Core processors.

MSI corroborated that the Core i9-14900K shall retain its 8P+16E configuration, mirroring that of the Core i9-13900K. The Core i5-14600K follows suit, adopting the identical 6P+8E setup as seen in the Core i5-13600K. The only deviation materializes in the Core i7-14700K, which boasts an 8P+12E configuration. When juxtaposed against the Core i7-13700K’s 8P+8E, it preserves the number of performance cores, yet augments it with an additional four efficiency cores. Based on MSI’s articulation, the 14th generation Core processors from Intel are touted to outperform the current series by an average of 3%. Due to the Core i7-14700K’s addition of four efficiency cores, its multi-threading prowess is set to witness an enhancement of 17%.

In summation, the 14th generation Core processors are slated to feature elevated clock frequencies, with most models seeing a surge of 200MHz, while a few will experience a more modest increment of 100MHz. Furthermore, these processors are designed to support higher-frequency DDR5 memory, while retaining compatibility with the extant LGA 1700 socket.
