Intel has unveiled its latest array of chips tailored for both desktop and notebook devices, marking the advent of its 14th Gen lineup. Not stopping there, Intel also unveiled the Core U series, specifically designed for sleek and lightweight laptops.

Laptop Processors

At the forefront of this lineup is the 14th generation’s pièce de résistance – the HX series. This series boasts a quintet of chips, with the i9-14900HX as the flagship model. What sets these chips apart is their foundation on the revamped Raptor Lake architecture, an evolution of the 13th generation, but with significantly higher clock speeds.

But that’s not all. Intel has also included support for Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 into these chips.

Desktop Processors

Previously, Intel had introduced the 14900K, 14700K, and 14600K variants, but now they are unveiling a range of locked non-K versions, along with additions to the i5 and i3 series.

In total, Intel is rolling out a staggering 18 new SKUs, although we won’t delve into all of them as many are tailored for system integrators. The standout feature in these new iterations is a noticeable uptick in clock speed, except for the 14700, which also benefits from four additional e-cores.
