Intel Launches New Core 14th Gen Desktop Processors with AI Overclocking

Intel today announced the launch of the new Intel® Core™ 14th Generation desktop processor family, led by the Intel® Core™ i9-14900K. This latest-generation desktop processor family includes six new unlocked desktop processors at launch, delivering up to 24 cores and 32 threads and up to 6 GHz of frequency right out of the box. 

Additionally, the Intel® Core™ i7-14700K arrives with 20 cores and 28 threads as it has four more Efficient-cores (E-cores) compared with the prior generation. And Intel’s Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) now features the new AI Assist feature, bringing one-click AI-guided overclocking to select unlocked Intel Core 14th Gen desktop processors. Notably, as of October 2023, AI Assist is supported on certain Intel Core 14th gen unlocked SKUs.

Roger Chandler, Intel vice president and general manager, Enthusiast PC and Workstation​, Client Computing Group, said, "Since the introduction of our performance hybrid architecture, Intel has consistently raised the bar for desktop performance. With our Intel Core 14th Generation processors, we’re showing once again why enthusiasts turn to Intel for the best desktop experience available on the market today."

With faster clock speeds up and down the processor stack – led by the flagship i9-14900K’s 6 GHz turbo frequencies – the Intel Core 14th Gen desktop processor family powers the world’s best desktop experience for enthusiasts.

Connectivity

Support for Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 7, and Thunderbolt 4, along with compatibility with 600/700-series chipsets for easy upgrades.
