Intel to Debut Non-K (65 W) 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" Desktop Processors Next Month

Retailers are beginning to put up placeholder listings for Intel's upcoming 14th Gen Core (65 W), non-K desktop processor models. Based on the "Raptor Lake Refresh" silicon, these chips offer generational uplifts in clock speeds over the 13th Gen Core series, although their feature-set remains nearly identical to the 13th Gen. These chips will run on all Socket LGA1700 motherboards, based on 600-series and 700-series chipset, with a UEFI firmware update. The full lineup already leaked out in marketing material this September (read here), but we're getting confirmation of these chips as retailer listings. The lineup begins with the 4P+0E Core i3-14100F and i3-14100; followed by the Core i5-14400F and i5-14400; the Core i7-14700F, i7-14700; and leading the pack being the i9-14900 and i9-14900F. These chips, particularly the -F extension ones, could provide good value to gamers.
