The Intel Core i7-14700K is bursting with performance! The additional cores significantly reduce the performance gap to the top model. This makes this Core i7 very attractive.

- Increased core and thread count compared to the 13th generation Core i7-13700K
- Larger L2 and L3 cache compared to the Core i7-13700K
- the overall CPU performance almost equals that of a Core i9-13900K
- Single-core performance surpasses AMD Ryzen Zen 4
- No clear incentive to upgrade from the 13th generation
- Gaming performance cannot keep up with the AMD Ryzen Zen 4 X3D or even the Core i5-14600K
- Extremely fast
- even with complex calculations
- Very expensive
- High power consumption and high heat generation
The speed differences between the Core 17-14700K and its predecessor, the Core i7-13700K, are large and noticeable - not least because Intel has made the biggest technical innovations of all 14000 CPUs in the 14700K. However, the speed advantages of the smaller Core i5 processors 14500 and 14400F are only marginal...
- Very good CPU performance
- Integrated graphics unit
- GPU performance only satisfactory
The Intel Core i7-14700K is a powerful, versatile processor for demanding users, ideal for gaming and complex applications. However, there are processors, such as the almost identical 13700K, that cost significantly less. In the end, the purchase decision is a rather difficult price-performance question.
