Name: Intel Core i5-14500 Processor - Up to 5.0 GHz - 14 Cores
Brand: Intel

Intel Core i5-14500 Processor - Up to 5.0 GHz - 14 Cores launched in Q1'24, brings a balanced mix of performance and efficiency for modern desktop systems.

This Intel® Core™ i5 (14th gen) CPU, codename Raptor Lake and ARK ID 236784, features 14 cores (6 performance cores and 8 efficient cores) and 20 threads to handle a wide range of workloads from productivity to light content creation.

Clocking up to a 5.0 GHz boost frequency on performance cores and offering a 2.6 GHz performance-core base frequency, the i5-14500 delivers responsive single-threaded performance while efficient cores run up to 3.7 GHz (base 1.9 GHz) to optimize background tasks and power consumption.

The processor includes 24 MB Smart Cache, supports up to 192 GB of DDR4 or DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode with a memory bandwidth up to 76.8 GB/s, and supports ECC for enhanced reliability. It fits LGA 1700 sockets and ships in a boxed package with a cooler included.

Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 offers up to 1550 MHz dynamic frequency, supports up to four displays and modern outputs (eDP 1.4b, DisplayPort 1.4a, HDMI 2.1) with resolutions up to 7680 x 4320 on DisplayPort and smooth refresh rates suitable for multimedia and casual gaming.

With a base power of 65 W and maximum turbo power of 154 W, the i5-14500 balances thermal and performance characteristics for mainstream desktop builds. It supports PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 with up to 20 lanes and flexible configurations for discrete GPUs and fast NVMe storage.

Security and virtualization features include Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x, VT-d), Intel® AES-NI, Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET), Intel® Boot Guard and a range of acceleration technologies such as Intel® Quick Sync Video and Intel® DL Boost. The chip is well suited to office workstations, everyday PCs, and mainstream content creators.

Use cases: build a responsive home or office PC for multitasking and streaming, a compact workstation for photo and video editing, or a gaming-focused system with a discrete GPU while relying on capable integrated graphics when needed.
