The first wave would arrive next October. In any case, don’t expect huge generational gains at an equivalent number of cores; for certain references, they will be mainly induced by slightly higher frequencies. A 20-core/28-thread Core i7-14700K looks pretty promising, though.
The Raptor Lake range will be entitled to a Refresh series. Indeed, internal Intel documents have confirmed the launch of this series ; launch which should take place in two waves. In addition, this generation of Core Refresh will retain the traditional Core iX 1XX00 designation. New data published in recent days set a launch date and provide some information on planned processors.

In terms of timing, the leaker Chinese Enthusiast Citizen (ECSM) claims that Intel has planned a release in the 42nd week of 2023, either between October 17 and 23. The source confirms a two-step marketing: according to her, non-K models will arrive in early 2024 (the first week) ; in other words a little before CES 2024. In terms of support, ECSM evokes a native Raptor Lake Refresh support for all 700 series motherboards. Only one Core would be an exception to this rule, the one with 8 P-cores + 12 E-cores (the Core i7-14700K which we will discuss later in the article).
Finally, regarding AMD, the leaker confirms a release of the Ryzen 8000 Zen 5 in 2024, and the Ryzen Threadripper Zen 4, code name Storm Peak, before the end of 2023.
Scores in CPU-Z and Cinebench R23 for the Core i7-14700K
The composition of the Raptor Lake Refresh range remains uncertain, but two processors made headlines over the weekend: the Core i7-14700K and Core i9-14900K.
It’s concrete for the first, with two entries in benchmarks, CPU-Z and Cinebench R23. This 8 P-cores + 12 E-cores / 28 threads reaches 5.5 GHz according to CPU-Z, only 100 MHz more than the Core i7-13700K.
Regarding the scores, with 905.2 points and 14,988.6 points, he is ahead of his ancestor by 4.7% (86 points on average) and 20.6% (12,430 points on average) respectively. Note that the Core i7-13700K has 8 P-cores and 8 E-cores, i.e. 16 cores / 24 threads. In Cinebench R23, this processor has a single-core average of 2117 points and multi-core of 31,069 points. The Core i7-14700K scores 2192 points and 36,296 points. These are thus differences of 3.5% and 16.8%.

Finally, in a video, Tom from Moore’s Law is Dead mentions a Core i9-14900K. This chip goes up to 6.2 GHz or even 6.3 GHz according to him; we must count on gains of between 4 and 8% in single-thread, between 8 and 15% in multi-thread. However, these assessments are not supported by a benchmark.
