Intel is finally detailing its 14th-gen desktop processors, but they don't seem like they'll bring a big boost in performance.
Intel’s 14th-gen desktop processors are official, following months of rumors and leaks, and they’re gunning for a top slot among the best processors. The Raptor Lake refresh, as enthusiasts have called it, delivers three new processors to Intel’s lineup: the Core i9-14900K, Core i7-14700K, and Core i6-14600K.
Unlike rumors suggested, the chips don’t come with a price increase. The recommended price from Intel is the same as the previous generation. Keep in mind, however, that these prices likely aren’t what you’ll pay. You may spend slightly more or less depending on demand. We expect that prices will be slightly higher when the CPUs first release.
Compared to the competition from AMD, Intel says the Core i9-14900K is upwards of 23% faster in Starfield and Metro Exodus, though it still loses significantly in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Dota 2. Although there are clearly some improvements, Intel hasn’t shared other key performance metrics. For starters, the company didn’t show any generational improvements outside of the Core i7-14700K — the only chip in the lineup that has a significant spec difference. It also shared no data regarding generational improvements in gaming performance.
