CPU Intel Core i7-14700KF BOX

Intel Core i7-14700KF 14th Gen Desktop Processor (Box)

• Next-Gen Hybrid Architecture: Features 20 Cores (8 Performance-cores + 12 Efficient-cores) and 28 Threads, offering a massive leap in multi-core performance for professional multitasking and elite gaming.

• Unlocked for Overclocking: The "K" designation means the multiplier is unlocked, allowing enthusiasts to push the processor beyond its factory settings on Z690 or Z790 motherboards.

• Blazing Fast Turbo Speeds: Reaches a maximum turbo frequency of up to 5.6 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, providing exceptional speed for high-refresh-rate gaming.

• "F" Series – No Integrated Graphics: This model does not include built-in graphics, which lowers the cost but requires a dedicated graphics card for any display output.

• Massive 33MB Smart Cache: Equipped with a large L3 cache pool and 28MB of L2 cache to minimize data latency and ensure smooth performance in CPU-intensive applications.

• DDR5 & DDR4 Compatibility: Supports the latest high-speed DDR5 memory (up to 5600 MT/s) and remains compatible with DDR4 (up to 3200 MT/s) for flexible build configurations.

• Advanced PCIe 5.0 Support: Features 20 PCIe lanes (including PCIe 5.0 and 4.0), providing maximum bandwidth for the latest GPUs and ultra-fast NVMe storage.

• Intel Thread Director: Intelligently manages workloads by directing the right tasks to the right cores, preventing background processes from impacting your gaming experience.

• Socket LGA 1700: Fully compatible with Intel 600 and 700 series motherboards (a BIOS update is typically required for older 600-series boards).

• Power & Cooling Requirements: Has a base power of 125W and a maximum turbo power of 253W; as a high-performance boxed version, it does not include a cooler, so a high-end 280mm or 360mm AIO liquid cooler is strongly recommended.

Perfect for: Hardcore gamers who stream, professional video editors, and enthusiasts looking for high-core-count performance with the ability to manually overclock.
