Intel Core i7-14700K 20 Core “Raptor Lake Refresh” CPU Benchmarks Leak, Up To 15% Faster Than 13700K

wccftech.com:

First alleged benchmarks of Intel's 14th Gen Raptor Lake-S Refresh "Core i7-14700K" CPU featuring 20 cores and higher clocks have leaked out.

In benchmarks leaked @wxnod, we get to see what seems to be the first instance of the Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake-S Refresh Desktop CPUs running on an Intel Z790 motherboard. We know that all Raptor Lake-S Refresh CPUs will be compatible with the 600 and 700-series motherboards & there are already BIOS out with preliminary support for the upcoming chips.

With that said, the benchmarks and CPU-z screenshot for the alleged Intel Core i7-14700K CPU are leaked out which give us an early taste of the performance and specifications. The CPU will utilize the Intel 7 process node (10nm ESF) and feature an 8+12 configuration which allows for 20 cores & 28 threads. The CPU base clock speed hasn't been reported but another leaker points out 28 MB of L2 cache and 33 MB of L3 cache which is a 16.6% and 10% boost over the 13700K, respectively. The chip seems to run at the same base clock as the 13700K at 3.4 GHz but the boost clocks remain an unknown for now.

Just for comparison, the following are the specs difference between the three hybrid chips:

The Intel 14th Gen Raptor-Lake-S Refresh Core i7-14700K CPU was tested in three benchmarks. For the first benchmark, we have Cinebench R23 where the chip scored 36292 points in multi-core and 2192 points in single-core. That's a 15% performance uplift in multi-core and a 4% uplift in single-threaded tests over the Core i7-13700K. The CPU-z scores of 905 points in single-core and 14988 points in multi-core also reveal a similar performance increase of 14% in mult and 2% in the single-threaded tests.

It can be seen that most of the multi-threaded improvement
