Intel Will Launch New 14th Gen Core Processors on January 8, It’s Claimed

Intel is planning to launch the rest of its 14th Gen Core Raptor Lake Refresh desktop processors in the second week of January, according to the ECSM_Official account, which tweeted this morning about how the “non-K series will be released at 3 pm on 1/8 (Pacific time) and 7 am (Beijing time) on 1/9.”

These dates haven’t been confirmed by Intel yet, but they seem to make a bit of sense, with Intel having announced last week that it’ll be hosting a series of events at CES 2024, from January 9 to 12, 2024, in Las Vegas, albeit seemingly with an AI focus.

“At CES 2024, join Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and company executives for keynote discussions, technology showcases and AI-focused sessions,” Intel wrote in its announcement. “They will explore how Intel technologies, supported by innovative and open software, enable AI capabilities for consumers and businesses to create a better, responsible, more sustainable, and more inclusive future for all.”

As for what some of the new 14th Gen Core SKUs might look like, the ECSM_Official account has shared screenshots that seem to confirm some of the Core i3-14100’s specifications, including four cores and eight threads, as well as its ability to reach 9,091/1,742 points in Cinebench R23’s multi-core and single-core tests, respectively.

CPU-Z and other screenshots for the Core i5-14400 have been shared by the ECSM_Official account as well, teasing the performance for what is apparently a 10-core chip:

Intel launched its first 14th Gen Core processors in October 2023, revealing six new options headlined by the Core i9-14900K/KF, a new flagship that features a total of 24 cores (8P+16E) and a Thermal Velocity Boost Frequency of up to 6.0 GHz.

“Intel Core 14th Gen processors power an immersive gaming experience with up to 23% gaming performance uplift compared to leading competitor processors, while new gaming-focused features like Intel Application Optimization (APO) ensure better-than-ever application threading alongside existing Intel Thread Director application thread scheduling,” Intel wrote in its press release.
