The latest benchmarks of Intel's Core i5-14600KF Raptor Lake Refresh CPU have leaked out which show a 17% performance uplift over the 13600KF.
Just yesterday, we saw the Intel Core i5-14600KF leaked out on a Gigabyte Z790 motherboard and now, the first benchmarks of the chip have been reported running on an ASUS Z790 motherboard. The latest tests were carried out on an ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard with DDR5-6000 memory (32 GB capacities) and the Raptor Lake Refresh CPU running at its stock clock speeds.
The specifications of the Intel Core i5-14600K CPU are straightforward. You will be getting a total of 6 P-Cores (12 threads) and 8 E-Cores (8 Threads) for a total of 14 cores and 20 threads. The cores are once again based on the same 10ESF process node and utilize the Raptor Cove & Gracemont core architecture. The chip provides 24 MB of L3 cache and 20 MB of L2 cache. The CPU runs at a base clock speed of 3.5 GHz and boosts up to 5.3 GHz (across a single core).
As you can see from the specs above, the Core i5-14600K and Core i5-13600K are mostly identical with the only difference being the higher clocks. The Core i5-14600K may seem like a nice boost for users upgrading from a 12th Gen Core i5 chip and they can also expect a similar price. In the latest benchmarks, the CPU was seen running just shy of its max 5.3 GHz clock speeds.
In terms of performance, the CPU scored 2794 points in single-core and 17,190 points in multi-core tests. For comparison, the Intel Core i5-13600KF scores 2644 points in single-core and 14,634 multi-core points. This marks a 6% improvement in single-core and up to 17.5% improvement in multi-core performance. Compared to the Alder Lake Core i5-12600KF, the 14600KF offers a 15%
