Name: Intel Core i5-14600KF Processor - 14 Cores
Brand: Intel

Intel Core i5-14600KF Processor - 14 Cores debuted in Q4'23 as a high-performance desktop CPU in Intel’s 14th generation Raptor Lake family.

This Intel® Core™ i5-14600KF brings a hybrid 14-core architecture with 6 performance cores and 8 efficient cores, delivering up to 20 threads through Intel® Hyper-Threading and intelligent scheduling via Intel® Thread Director for responsive multitasking.

Clocking up to a 5.3 GHz boost frequency on performance cores with a 3.5 GHz base and efficient cores that boost to 4.0 GHz (base 2.6 GHz), the i5-14600KF balances burst performance and background efficiency for gaming, content creation, and everyday productivity.

With 24 MB Intel® Smart Cache, support for up to 192 GB of DDR4 or DDR5 memory on dual-channel configurations, and a maximum memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, the processor supports demanding applications and large datasets with low latency.

Built for LGA 1700 motherboards, the i5-14600KF uses a box package (PCG 2020A thermal spec) and requires a discrete cooler since one is not included. The CPU draws a base power of 125 W and can reach a maximum turbo power of 181 W under heavy loads.

Platform features include up to 20 PCIe lanes with PCIe 4.0/5.0 support, DMI 4.0, AVX2, SSE4.1/4.2 instruction sets, Intel® Turbo Boost 2.0, Intel® VT-x/VT-d virtualization, and a host of security and acceleration technologies such as Intel® CET, AES-NI, Deep Learning Boost and Intel® GNA 3.0.

Typical use cases for the Intel Core i5-14600KF include mainstream and enthusiast gaming rigs paired with discrete GPUs, creative workstations for photo and video editing, and responsive home or office PCs that benefit from strong single-thread performance and efficient background processing.
