The chip giant introduced Intel Core Gen 14 E, a new family of processors based on the Raptor Cove architecture, which differs from Core Gen 14 in a very important detail, They come with disabled E coreswhich are cores that Intel calls high efficiency and which in this generation were based on the Gracemont architecture.

This move by Intel is very important for two big reasons. The first is that it enables Intel diversify and expand the catalogand secondly, that it strengthens the credibility of the information that ensured the launch of Intel Bartlett-S processors configured with up to 12 high-performance cores and no E cores.

We will have to wait to see if these cores are deactivated or if they actually disappear at the silicon level in that future generation of processors that will arrive in the third quarter of 2025. It is now most likely that they will be based on the Lion Cove architecture, although this is not yet confirmed.

The lithography and architecture have not changed, meaning that all Intel Core Gen 14 E processors based on the P core architecture Raptor Coveand which are produced in Intel node 7. They are divided into standard versions, K versions (multiplier unlocked), F versions (disabled integrated graphics) and T versions (have a lower TDP).

Intel Core Gen 14 E specifications

At the time of writing, the models below are confirmed along with their official specifications:

• Intel Core i9-14901KE: 8 cores and 16 threads at 3.8 GHz-5.8 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 125W.
• Intel Core i9-14901E: 8 cores and 16 threads at 2.8 GHz-5.6 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 65W.
• Intel Core i9-14901TE: 8 cores and 16 threads at 2.3 GHz-5.5 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 45W.
• Intel Core i7-14701E: 8 cores and 16 threads at 2.6 GHz-5.5 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 65W.
• Intel Core i7-14701TE: 8 cores and 16 threads at 2.1 GHz-5.2 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 45W.
• Intel Core i5-14501E: 6 cores and 12 threads at 3.3 GHz-5.2 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 65W.
• Intel Core i5-14501TE: 6 cores and 12 threads at 2.2 GHz-5.1 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 45W.
• Intel Core i4-14401E: 6 cores and 12 threads at 2.5 GHz-4.7 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 65W.
• Intel Core i4-14401TE: 6 cores and 12 threads at 2 GHz-4.5 GHz, normal and turbo mode. TDP 45W.

These processors will not enter the retail channel. As Intel states on its official website, at the moment they are only focused on integrated systems, although this does not mean that they cannot reach the general consumer market at some specific time.

The multi-threaded performance of these processors will be noticeably lower than Intel Core Gen 14 with P and E cores, but for those that they really don’t need Having this extra block of cores can be a very interesting option.

It is important that you understand that these processors They do not replace the current generation, and they don’t represent a radical change in Intel’s strategy, they’re just an addition to everything the company has in its catalog right now, and a preview of what Bartlett Lake-S will be.
