Amidst its current struggles with instability in the 14th and 13th Gen, where even Gamers Nexus can’t recommend Intel CPUs, the company has released a new SKU of processors out of the blue. Or would it have been had it not been leaked previously, but now the processors have appeared on Intel’s product pages and have changed things up in the core’s specifications.
As AMD’s Ryzen 9000 series release is around the corner, Intel has silently brought out nice new processors spanning i9, i7, and i5 options in the 14th-gen range. These have the E suffix in their name and in the Raptor Lake generation, remove the efficiency cores from inside, going for pure performance. But don’t expect to be using these in your gaming PCs but they rather are looking to be introduced to embedded systems.
Intel Core 14th E processor specs
Below you can find the key differences between these new processors.
| CPU | Cores and threads | Base clock | Boost clock | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| i9-14901KE | 8/16 | 3.8GHz | 5.8GHz | 125W |
| i9-14901TE | 8/16 | 2.3GHz | 5.5GHz | 45W |
| i9-14901E | 8/16 | 2.8GHz | 5.6GHz | 65W |
| i7-14701E | 8/16 | 2.6GHz | 5.4GHz | 65W |
| i7-14701TE | 8/16 | 2.1GHz | 5.2GHz | 45W |
| i5-14501TE | 6/12 | 2.2GHz | 5.1GHz | 45W |
| i5-14501E | 6/12 | 3.3GHz | 5.2GHz | 65W |
| i5-14401TE | 6/12 | 2.0GHz | 4.5GHz | 45W |
| i5-14401E | 6/12 | 2.5GHz | 4.7GHz | 65W |
Featuring exclusively P-cores they do cut down the core count of each rather significantly. Matching up to the already existing lineup, but adding a one and E to the end of the names. So far on the site, there are three i9 models, two i7s, and four i5s, which vary between K, T, and just E models.
Although the i9 K model is similar to the base clock, the boost clocks seem to not reach the same amounts and fall behind by 200MHz. But it does also have a high 125W TDP, whereas the rest vary between 45 to 65W, for the T and standards models respectively.
Although these are there, the Q3 launch date and the inability to compare these processors might mean the reveal is still yet to come. Although not being a consumer model it might not be so prominent anyway.
