2023-10-03
Avast, me hearties! Behold, yet another Raptor Lake Refresh CPU be spied upon the horizon, flaunting an eye-poppin' overclock. 'Tis none other than the mighty Core i5-14600K!
Yesterday's leak for the Core i5-14600K CPU got everyone excited, and now a trio of Geekbench results have surfaced to reinforce the hype. The leaked specs indicate that the 14600K will have the same core configuration as the 13600K but with a boost clock increase to 5.3GHz. The most interesting result shows clock speeds ranging from 5.3GHz to 5.7GHz when overclocked. This indicates a significant performance boost compared to the default settings. The Geekbench scores align with previous leaks, suggesting that the 14600K is around 5% faster for single-core and 10% or more for multi-core compared to its predecessor. With overclocking to 5.7GHz, there is a further jump in performance, making the overclocked chip around 20% faster than the 13600K.This leak gains credibility because it aligns with previous rumors that the Raptor Lake Refresh processors will have impressive overclocking potential. The 14700K, another highly anticipated CPU in the 14th-gen, has previously been overclocked to nearly 6GHz, surpassing the default speeds of the Core i9-13900K. While the performance gain and cooling methods used for these overclocks are unknown, the leaked potential uplift looks promising. Despite Intel's lack of promotion for the Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs, there is still optimism for impressive chip performance. However, there are also some less promising rumors about pedestrian performance gains.
