Intel announces new 14th gen Core HX and non K Core desktop CPUs

Intel has announced a bevy of new chips for desktop and notebook devices at CES 2024 as part of its 14th generation of lineup. The company also announced a new Core U series for thin and light machines. Starting off, there is the new 14th gen flagship HX series, which includes five new chips, lead by the flagship i9 14900HX at the top.

These are based on the refreshed Raptor Lake architecture, which is essentially the same as the 13th gen but with higher clock speeds. They also include support for Thunderbolt 5, Wi Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. i9 14900HX i7 14700HX i7 14650HX i5 14500HX i5 14450HX Cores 8+16 8+12 8+8 6+8 6+4 Threads 32 28 24 20 16 Thermal Velocity Boost 5.8GHz 5.5GHz 5.2GHz Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 5.7GHz 5.4GHz 5.1GHz P core max 5.8GHz 5.5GHz 5.2GHz 4.9GHz 4.8GHz E core max 4.1GHz 3.9GHz 3.7GHz 3.5GHz 3.5GHz P core base 2.2GHz 2.1GHz 2.2GHz 2.6GHz 2.4GHz E core base 1.6GHz 1.5GHz 1.6GHz 1.9GHz 1.8GHz Graphics Intel UHD Intel UHD Intel UHD Intel UHD Intel UHD Total cache 36MB 33MB 30MB 24MB 20MB Base power 55W 55W 55W 55W 55W Turbo power 157W 157W 157W 157W 157W Next is the desktop range.

Intel had previously launched the 14900K, the 14700K, and the 14600K parts but today the company is launching the locked non K variants along with additional i5 and i3 models. There are 18 new SKUs in total and we aren't going through all of them here as many of them are for system integrators.

The key models are listed below, and the main (or rather, the only) change from their previous generation counterparts is the clock speed bump (except the 14700, which also gains four e cores). There is also a version of all of these chips without an integrated GPU. i9 14900 i7 14700 i5 14600 i5 14500 i5 14400 i3 14100 Cores 8+16 8+12 6+8 6+8 6+4 4+0 Threads 32 28 20 20 16 8 Intel Thermal Velocity Boost 5.8GHz Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 5.6GHz 5.4GHz P core max 5.4GHz 5.3GHz 5.2GHz 5GHz 4.7GHz 4.7GHz E core max 4.3GHz 4.2GHz 3.9GHz 3.7GHz 3.5GHz P core base 2GHz 2.1GHz 2.7GHz 2.6GHz 2.5GHz 3.5GHz E core base 1.5GHz 1.5GHz 2GHz 1.9GHz 1.8GHz L2 cache 32MB 28MB 20MB 11.5MB 9.5MB 5MB Total cache 36MB 33MB 24MB 24MB 20MB 12MB Base power 65W 65W 65W 65W 65W 60W Turbo power 219W 219W 154W 154W 148W 110W Price $549 $384 $255 $232 $221 $134 Lastly, the company also launched Intel Core U Processor Series 1 for thin and light notebooks.

This series includes three new models with up to 10 cores and support for Thunderbolt 4, PCIe Gen 4.0, Bluetooth 5.4, and Wi Fi 7.
