So what do we mean by “the right hardware to sustain it” you might ask? For starters, you will obviously need a compatible motherboard. Cinebench R23 Single Core Test Cinebench R23 Multi-Core Test HWiNFO during the Prime 95 Torture Test If you’re planning on using this particular Intel 14 th generation CPU in a PC aimed at productivity, you’ll be pleased to know that it will absolutely decimate whatever workload you throw at it provided you pair it up with the right hardware to sustain it. What was amazing about running these tests was not only the scores generated but the speed at which the renders were completed. Before Prime 95 Test During Prime 95 Test After Prime 95 Test Prime 95 20 Core Test – Max Power Draw RecordedĪfter the Prime 95 tests, we ran Cinebench R23’s single core and multi-core render tests. This thing is an absolute beast – And one that truly thirsts for power. You can see the following screenshots below to gauge just how powerful this CPU is as well as take note of its rather crazy power consumption values and heat generated. Out test bench included an EVGA RTX 3070TI FTW3, 1000w Gigabyte P1000GM PSU, 16gb HyperX Predator 3200Mhz DDR4 RAM, a Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X Motherboard and a Gigabyte AORUS WATERFORCE 240 AIO.

We put the CPU to test starting with Prime 95’s Benchmark Test for 20 minutes followed by Prime 95’s Torture Test adjusted for a shorter time period of 5 minutes. Thankfully the good news is that when the CPU is idling by at low usage, it only uses around 10 to 20 watts according to HWiNFO. And speaking of power, the base power required for the Intel Core i7-14700KF is quite a lot at 125W. – Intel’s Latest Hybrid Architecture on Intel 7 ProcessĪs you can see from the above, this is a pretty powerful CPU.

The summarised CPU specifications can be seen below: The 14 th generation Core i7-14700KF 20-Core 5.60GHz Raptor Lake-S we got to test is therefore a massive step up since it features double the cores. The previous CPU we were running was an Intel i5-12600K 10 Core 3.7GHz 10nm Alder Lake chip. Installing the CPU was easy as ever and we booted up our system in no time flat. Thankfully since it still works with the same LGA 1700 socket the previous 2 generations have been using, we were able to install it into our test bench and put it to work.Īfter a quick motherboard BIOS update, our Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X was good to go.

Intel’s 14 th generation Raptor Lake range recently released and we got our hands on one.
