Intel Core i5-14600K
The Core i5-14600K is a 14 core CPU from Intel released in 2023. This chip has an incredible overall score with 12025 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is an incredible processor for gaming, with a score of 14272 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Core i5-14600K scores 11307 points and 11156 points respectively. Indeed, this is an amazing rating for very heavy workloads.
The Core i5-14600K has 14 cores and 20 threads. This CPU makes use of simultaneous multithreading technology to improve performance on parallel tasks. Each physical CPU core is divided into multiple logical processors. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 3.5 GHz and a turbo speed of 5.3 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow.
As for memory, the Core i5-14600K makes use of DDR5-5600 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. It can accommodate a maximum of 192 GiB of memory. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 2 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled. Error correcting memory is supported on this processor.
In terms of cache, the Core i5-14600K has 20 MiB of level 2 cache and 24 MiB of level 3 cache. This is a fast memory located close to the processor, which stores copies of frequently used data from main memory.
This CPU has fast connectivity with support for PCI-Express Gen 5. The faster the PCIe link, the better. This allows for better performance with GPUs and NVME SSDs. It has a total of 20 PCIe lanes.
