Intel 14th Gen vs 13th Gen CPU Price Comparison (PC Canada):
| 12th Gen CPU | Prices (PC-Canada) | 13th Gen CPU | Prices (PC-Canada) | 14th Gen CPU | Prices (PC-Canada) | 14 Gen Increase (vs 13th) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i9-12900K | $621.99 CAD | Core i9-13900K | $808.99 CAD | Core i9-14900K | $833.99 CAD | +3.0% |
| Core i9-12900KF | $583.99 CAD | Core i9-13900KF | $775.99 CAD | Core i9-14900KF | $795.99 CAD | +2.5% |
| Core i7-12700K | $446.99 CAD | Core i7-13700K | $583.99 CAD | Core i7-14700K | $597.99 CAD | +2.4% |
| Core i7-12700KF | $417.99 CAD | Core i7-13700KF | $538.99 CAD | Core i7-14700KF | $559.99 CAD | +3.9% |
| Core i5-12600K | $355.99 CAD | Core i5-13600K | $436.99 CAD | Core i5-14600K | $453.99 CAD | +3.8% |
| Core i5-12600KF | $319.99 CAD | Core i5-13600KF | $402.99 CAD | Core i5-14600KF | $415.99 CAD | +3.2% |
Previous listings have shown the same Intel 14th Gen CPU lineup with a 15% markup over their predecessors however the latest listing shows an average increase of just 3%. The highest price increase comes with the Core i7-14700KF which costs 4% higher than its predecessor but that's about it. The rest of the chips are mostly in line with the 13th Gen parts while the 12th Gen lineup has been heavily discounted considering that it's more than two years old now. So that at least is a good sign that we might still get to see prices for the 14th Gen CPUs on par with 13th Gen chips & what we had seen earlier was just a preliminary listing.
Whether these prices are just preliminary ones or the ones we would actually see during launch is something only time will tell so please take these with a grain of salt until a confirmation comes from Intel itself.
Intel Core i9-14900K CPU Specifications
Starting with the flagship, we have the Intel Core i9-14900K CPU which will feature 16 cores & 32 threads in an 8+16 configuration. The CPU will feature up to 36 MB of Smart Cache and a base TDP of 125W (253W PL2). It will feature clock speeds of 3.2 GHz at base & up to 6.0 GHz with a Thermal Velocity Boost. This will be a +200 MHz frequency jump over the Core i9-13900K and the same as the Core i9-13900KS.
Intel Core i7-14700K CPU Specifications
For the Core i7-14700K, Intel will be utilizing its 8+12 core configuration which offers 20 cores and 28 threads. This will be a nice upgrade over the existing Core i7-13700K which offers an 8+8 core configuration, allowing for a nice boost to multi-threading performance thanks to those extra E-Cores. The CPU will offer 33 MB of smart cache (vs 30 MB) and feature clock speeds of 3.4 GHz at base and up to 5.6 GHz with TBMT3. That's also a +200 MHz boost over the 13700K & we can see performance uplifts of around 5-10% from this particular SKU.
Intel Core i5-14600K CPU Specifications
Lastly, we have the Intel Core i5-14600K which unfortunately isn't using an 8+8 configuration as the rumors had told but rather a 6+8 which is the same as the Core i5-13600K. The cache and TDP will remain the same but the clock speeds will see a +200 MHz to 5.3 GHz, offering up to a 5% boost in performance over its predecessor.
So just as a recap, here's everything we can expect from Intel's 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh Desktop CPUs:
- Same Architecture as Raptor Lake (Raptor Cove P-Cores + Gracemont E-Cores)
- Same Process Node as Raptor Lake (Intel 7 aka 10nm++)
- Higher Clock Speeds Beyond 6.0 GHz
- Support For Faster DDR5 Memory DIMMs
- Much Higher Power Consumption (Close To 300W)
- Compatibility With Existing LGA 1700 / 1800 Socket Motherboards
The Intel Raptor Lake-S Refresh Desktop CPU lineup will be supported on the existing LGA 1700 socketed motherboards within the 600 and 700-series lineup and will launch in October 2023.
