Intel Core i7-14700K CPU Benchmarks Leak Out: Up To 20% Faster Than Core i7-13700K But 13% Higher Power Draw

The latest benchmarks of Intel's Core i7-14700K Raptor Lake Refresh CPU have leaked out and compared against the Intel Core i7-13700K.

Intel's Core i7-14700K CPU Up To 20% Faster Than Core i7-13700K But Consumes More Power In Leaked Benchmarks

These newly leaked benchmarks come straight from Bilibili's content creator, -T小白-, who has cleverly titled the video "13700K SUPER PRO MAX PLUS ULTRA OC" to avoid any issues with the embargo and NDA. The chip itself is also photoshopped in the BIOS to appear as the "Core i7-13700KS" but the chip in fact is the Core i7-14700K which is clearly seen in CPU-z where the 8 P-Core and 12 E-Core configuration is shown (only specific to this desktop SKU).

This will be the fourth leak of the Intel Core i7-14700K which had previously appeared multiple times. We first saw the chip back in July in the first leaked benchmarks which showed up to 15% better performance with an ES SKU, later we saw the chip running up to 6.3 GHz (overclocked) on an MSI Z690 motherboard and the chip also had additional benchmarks leak out alongside its i9 brother within the BAPCo database.

In terms of specifications, the Intel Core i7-14700K CPU comes with an 8+12 core configuration that offers 20 cores & 28 threads. This will be a nice upgrade over the existing Core i7-13700K processor which offers an 8+8 core config, delivering further boost to multi-threaded performance thanks to those extra E-Cores. The CPU will offer 33 MB of smart cache (vs 30 MB) & feature clock speeds of 3.4 GHz at the 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.

• Core i7-14700K: 20 Cores (8+12) / 28 Threads / 5.6 GHz Boost / 33 MB L3 Cache / 125W / $450?
• Core i7-13700K: 16 Cores (8+8) / 24 Threads / 5.4 GHz Boost / 30 MB L3 Cache / 125W / $409
• Core i7-12700K: 12 Cores (8+4) / 20 Threads / 5.0 GHz Boost / 25 MB L3 Cache / 125W / $450

Starting with the benchmarks, we first have CPU-z where the chip scores 14992.8 points in multi & 909.7 points in single-threaded tests. That's a jump of +20% in multi and +4% in single-thread tests over the Core i7-13700K. In Cinebench R23, the multi-threaded lead falls down to 15% whereas the single-core lead stays at the same +4%.

The multi-threaded increase is in line with a +16.6% increase in the number of threads over the Core i7-13700K plus the extra close also delivers some boost. The chip can be seen boosting up to 5.6 GHz across two cores. The all-core frequencies are maintained at 5.5 GHz for the P-Cores and 4.3 GHz for the E-Cores which is a +200 MHz / +100 MHz jump over the i7-13700K, respectively.

It is also shown that the chip consumes 30W higher power than its predecessor when stress tested in AIDA64 (260.54W vs 231.29W). As we have been saying since our Computex revelations, the Raptor Lake Refresh lineup will offer marginal gains but at the cost of higher power consumption.

• 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

Gaming performance was tested within CS: GO, PUBG, Genshin Impact, and a Chinese MMO. The performance results are as below:

CSGO (1080P / Max / RTX 4090):

• Core i7-14700K (DDR5-8000C34) - 979 FPS (AVG) / 263 (Min)
• Core i7-13700K (DDR5-8000C34) - 978 FPS (AVG) / 265 (Min)
• Core i7-14700K (DDR5-5600C46) - 880 FPS (AVG) / 229 (Min)
• Core i7-13700K (DDR5-5600C46) - 862 FPS (AVG) / 212 (Min)

PUBG (1080P / Max / RTX 4090):

• Core i7-14700K (DDR5-8000C34) - 197 FPS (AVG) / 170 (Min)
• Core i7-13700K (DDR5-8000C34) - 198 FPS (AVG) / 168 (Min)
• Core i7-14700K (DDR5-5600C46) - 149 FPS (AVG) / 115 (Min)
• Core i7-13700K (DDR5-5600C46) - 153 FPS (AVG) / 123 (Min)

As you can see, the performance is within the margin of error in both titles but the real test for this chip would be comparisons against the Ryzen 7 7800X3D which is an absolute killer deal for gaming PCs right now. We will see if the Intel Core i7-14700K can match or come close to the efficiency of the 3D V-Cache chip in gaming while offering much better multi-threaded performance or if it will stumble under its high power consumption and heat output. The Intel Raptor Lake Refresh 14th Gen CPUs are expected to launch in the coming months with an unveil planned for Innovation 23.
