News Core i5-14600 is only 5% slower than the Core i5-14600K in leaked benchmark — cheaper chip is only slightly slower but a lot more power-efficient

I honestly find this a bit surprising. There have been many generations of Intel CPU where the i5 K skew was the budget king of performance in the line. For them to release a xx400 skew that close in performance is hamstringing themselves. Poor marketing strategy on that. Will be interesting to see where prices land after this becomes more widely realized.

I once bought an unlocked Intel chip and told myself that I would overclock when the PC got sluggish. By that time multiple components bottlenecked the boost, so I never bothered. Lesson learned.

Admittedly, I think the days of great gains overclocking are gone, outside of exotic cooling and 'just for the benchmark' type stuff these reviewers do.

With that said, I have gone both ways on this. The K skew, even when on a board that can't OC is still slightly faster on its stock clocks. I have found that useful a time or two.

Huh? The 13600 does not exist! (at least not in retail channels...) Everything below a 13600k was warmed-over Alder Lake, without the vastly enlarged L2 cache.

Yes, it "exists" on Intel datasheets, but that does not mean they ever actually sold them in relevant quantities or in consumer channels!

See: https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...-24m-cache-up-to-5-00-ghz/specifications.html

The 14600 might exist in retail, but it would eat-in to the 14600k sales and offer very similar performance. Seems Intel is now separating retail CPU sales from channel sales and is being more careful about tier segregation in retail.

well if they do a 14600 and the price is right i may buy that over the 13600k or 13600kf for my all intel build !!

Personally the 14th is a joke and a waste of money but current AU prices puts the 14600k cheaper than the 13600k and the 13600kf cheaper again by $40aud if the 14600 comes in under the 13600kf ill buy it for my system !!
 
Personally the 14th is a joke

With people crying all the time that intel is using too much power it's really weird that everybody keeps saying that intel making steps towards less power and better clocks at the same time is a waste or a joke...
Just don't use a mobo that pumps all of the cores with way more power than allowed and don't use the e-cores for things they weren't meant for.

12600k 23W @ ? 4.9Ghz ? (they don't have an analysis on techpowerup) single core
13600k 21W @5.1Ghz single core
14600k 18W @ 5.3Ghz single core

Cinebench single, gain from 12th gen to 14th gen is 20%
12600k 89.2
13600k 95.3
14600k 109.5

dude show me all the Graphs you want the 14th is a joke for little to no uplift over the 13th on a dead platform what would you call it ??

20% uplift where are you getting them numbers on Liquid nitrogen OCed 14600k vs a stock 13600k !!
at best it 5% if that

seriously at this point you must work for Intel because anybody else with half a brain wouldnt defend them so much!!

With my Computer... Can idle about 38w on the wall.
Gaming the cpu goes to about 70w at wall (13500t gpu wii u emulator)
Gaming with the 6700XT 250w - 300w max
With frame locked undervolt and other hacker things gaming 160w at the wall

Only draw back only four ghz some cpu intensive games can smash the cpu

The good I don't cook with the hardware.
