A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to see the first leak that gave us the possible specifications of the Intel Core Gen14. We could highlight two big keys from the filtration, the increase in the number of highly efficient Intel Core i7 processor cores and also increase in Intel Core i5 and Core i3 cores.

In the first case, the information pointed to an increase of four high-performance cores in both processors, which would leave us with a configuration of 8 P cores and 12 E cores in the Core i7, while in the second case it was indicated that the Core i5s based on the Raptor Lake Refresh will have 8 P cores and 8 E cores and that the Core i3 will pass. from 4 cores and 8 threads to 6 cores and 12 threads.

The truth is that if these changes were confirmed we will face a very important advance, because with Intel Core Gen14 there would be the arrival of the first Core i5 and Core i3 processors with 8 cores and 6 high-performance cores respectively, and the low-end from Intel would now perfectly be able to optimally run demanding games and games of the latest generation.

The fact is that since the said leak, new partially contradictory information has appeared, generating many doubts. It is important that you keep in mind that nothing is definitive right now and therefore what all these sources suggest could happen.

With all that and after doing an exhaustive analysis of all this information, I have filtered the most important and compiled it in this article configurations that make the most senseand what I think could be definitive in this new generation of high-performance processors that Intel will bring to market at the end of October this year.

Possible specifications of Intel Core Gen14 non-K series

• Intel Core i3 Raptor Lake Refresh: six high-performance cores and twelve threads.
• Intel Core i5 Raptor Lake Refresh: six high-performance cores, eight high-efficiency cores and 20 threads.
• Intel Core i7 Raptor Lake Refresh: eight high performance cores, twelve high efficiency cores and 28 threads.
• Intel Core i9 Raptor Lake Refresh: eight high-performance cores, sixteen high-efficiency cores and 32 threads.

So that you have a specific reference and can thus directly compare, I will leave you right below possible specifications of the K and KF Gen14 series:

• Intel Core i5 K/KF Raptor Lake Recovery: eight high performance cores, eight high efficiency cores and 24 threads.
• Intel Core i7 K/KF Raptor Lake Refresh: eight high performance cores, twelve high efficiency cores and 28 threads.
• Intel Core i9 K/KF Raptor Lake Recovery: eight high performance cores, sixteen high efficiency cores and 32 threads.

Of all these new processors, the Intel Core i3 would be a great choice for building a budget gaming PCbecause in terms of performance they would be above the Intel Core i5-12400 and their price should be much lower.
