Intel Announces non-K 14th Gen Core Desktop Processors: Raptor Lake in 65 W to 35 W Flavors

by Gavin Bonshor on January 8, 2024 6:02 PM EST We typically see the flagship K-series chips first whenever Intel launches a new family of desktop processors. These show the maximum potential for improvement in generational performance, such as IPC and core clock speeds, and show off the latest family to the best possible effect.

Adding multiple models to the 14th Gen Core series for desktop families means there's plenty of choice for users regardless of their requirements, with the majority of the new SKUs coming with either a 65 W or 35 W base TDP. Finally, we have the full Raptor Lake refresh for desktop offering, and users looking for a lower cost, but typically solid performance will find plenty to sink their teeth into with lots of chips to select from. In the grand scheme of things, users can expect similar performance levels to the previous 13th Gen non-K Raptor Lake processors, with the main improvements coming within the voltage/frequency (V/F) curve.
