What counts in the end: Who offers the best package? And a super-fast processor alone is not enough. The test winner was Intel's Core i7-14700K. The 20-core processor was extremely fast, its graphics chip offered a decent speed and it left nothing to be desired in terms of energy consumption...
Intel Core i5-14600K
LGA 1700, 3.50 GHz, 14 -CoreProduct details
The Intel Core i5 14600K processor represents the 14th generation of Intel Core processors and offers balanced performance for demanding computing tasks. This processor features 14 cores and 20 threads, enabling efficient multitasking capabilities that are ideal for gaming while streaming or running multiple applications simultaneously. With a base clock frequency of 3.500 MHz and a maximum turbo frequency of up to 5.300 MHz, the processor handles intensive workloads with responsive performance. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 provides basic display functionality without the need for a dedicated graphics card. Memory support includes both DDR5 RAM up to 5.600 MHz and DDR4 RAM up to 3.200 MHz, with a maximum memory capacity of 192 GB for both types. The 24 MB L3 cache and 20 MB L2 cache work together to accelerate data processing and improve application responsiveness. This processor uses the LGA 1700 socket and requires compatible 600 or 700 series chipsets for proper functionality. The thermal design power specifications ensure reliable operation under sustained loads, making this processor suitable for gaming systems, content creation workstations, and general productivity applications where consistent performance is essential. The black processor is delivered as a single unit with the manufacturer part number BX8071514600K and is designed for integration into custom desktop computers that require mid-range processing power with overclocking capabilities.

- Good all-round CPU
- Onboard graphics solution
- Hardly any progress compared to the previous generation
- Slightly increased power consumption
With the Intel Core i5-14600K, the refresh of the i5-13600K converts a little more power into a little more performance. Little has changed in the architecture itself. This does not mean that the CPU is bad: it slightly outperforms its predecessor overall and thus offers a well-rounded overall package for the vast majority of work tasks and for gaming PCs...
- High working speed
- High gaming speed with separate graphics card
- Somewhat high power consumption under full load
The differences compared to the predecessors 13900K and Core 13600K are only minor, the new CPUs Core i9-14900K and Core i5-14600K are only slightly faster. Therefore: If you already have a PC with an older Raptor Lake CPU, you can safely keep it, it's not worth switching. For all customers who are considering buying a new PC or want to replace an even older CPU in an existing computer, the new refresh...
