INTEL CORE I7-14700K
Intel’s Core i7-14700K is by far the more interesting of the CPUs launched with its 14th generation of products. Although it doesn’t have the APO clout of the Core i9, it makes up for that in its expanded Efficiency cores. In fact, out of all three processors, it’s the only one that’s had any internal hardware changes made at all from a generational standpoint.
Of course, you still get those eight performance cores driving the bulk of in-game rendering and professional prowess that you’d expect, complete with hyperthreading, but you also get an additional four efficient cores, bumping the total count from eight to 12 here.
On top of that, it also gets the slight clock-speed bump we’ve seen with this generation, and gives you a total of 28 theoretical threads
