We’re perhaps simply six to eight weeks away from Intel asserting its extremely anticipated 14th Gen Raptor Lake refresh processors, which is able to change present thirteenth Gen fashions, however motherboard producer MSI has let slip some thrilling particulars. the brand new 14th Gen CPUs, which may make for a superb improve for homeowners of older or slower twelfth or thirteenth Gen fashions, boast as much as 17 % extra efficiency.
A product coaching video reveals that as beforehand reported, the Core i7-14700K will certainly be getting a core depend improve, seeing its Environment friendly Cores boosted from eight to 12 in comparison with the Core i7-13700K. That is nonetheless 4 fewer than the flagship Core i9-14900K and Core i9-13900K, nevertheless it’s the place MSI is getting its 17% from. Earlier rumors have additionally confirmed this, however this now appears to be like set in stone with MSI revealing the main points.
The 13% determine is from the elevated multi-threaded efficiency these further cores present. It is an fascinating transfer by Intel because it may imply the Core i9-14900K seems much less interesting with just some further cores and barely larger frequencies being the one causes to think about its undoubtedly larger price ticket.
Simply as curiously, the 14th Gen Raptor Lake CPU efficiency on common was solely three % sooner than the thirteenth Gen fashions. That is additionally to be anticipated since regardless of earlier thrilling rumors, Intel isn’t boosting core counts on different CPUs that we all know of. The one will increase in efficiency will seemingly come from anticipated core frequency will increase, with earlier rumors of cores depend will increase for the likes of the Core i5-14600K debunked and positively put to relaxation with this leak, which reveals the Coire i5-14600K with six Efficiency Cores and eight Environment friendly Cores – the identical because the Core i5-13600K.
Different issues we all know concerning the CPUs are that they are going to be suitable with present and former 700 and 600-series chipset motherboards – in different phrases most if not all LGA1700 socket motherboards, though they could require a BIOS replace. We additionally know that CPU coolers that fitted twelfth and thirteenth Gen CPUs will even work with 14th Gen Raptor Lake refresh fashions, and the brand new CPUs will even help both DDR4 or DDR5 reminiscence relying on which motherboard you selected.
As but we don’t know about pricing, actual frequencies or energy consumption for the brand new CPUs, however some motherboard producers have hinted at larger energy consumption and designing a refreshed vary of Z790 motherboards to cater for them. For now, we’ll must control any extra data showing between now and the anticipated October launch.
