Intel® Core™ i7-14700KF Processor

The Core™ i7-14700KF elevates the mid/high-end range with Raptor Lake Refresh and its hybrid architecture: 8 Performance Cores (P-cores) + 12 Efficient Cores (E-cores), totaling 20 cores / 28 threads. With a Turbo up to 5.6 GHz, a large cache, and an unlocked multiplier, it offers very stable FPS in gaming, exemplary responsiveness in content creation (editing, encoding, streaming), and significant optimization potential. The KF suffix means no iGPU: a dedicated graphics card is required.
