Intel Core i7-14700F Processor

Intel Core i7-14700F processor – 14th Gen desktop performance engineered for gamers, creators and professionals.

The Intel Core i7-14700F processor packs 20 cores (8 Performance + 12 Efficient) and 28 threads into a single desktop processor, blending high single-thread speed with serious multi-threaded throughput. Performance cores boost up to 5.4 GHz (Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0), while performance and efficient cores operate from generous base clocks (P-core base 2.1 GHz, E-core base 1.5 GHz). With 33 MB Intel® Smart Cache and 28 MB of L2 cache, the CPU reduces memory latency for large projects and heavy multitasking.

Built on Intel 7 process technology, the i7-14700F supports cutting-edge platform features: PCIe 5.0 for next-gen GPUs and NVMe storage, and dual-channel DDR5 (up to 5600 MT/s) or DDR4 (up to 3200 MT/s) memory support for up to 192 GB system RAM. The processor exposes up to 20 CPU PCIe lanes, enabling high-speed connectivity and future upgrades. Note: the F suffix means no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required.

Thermals and power: the i7-14700F has a Processor Base Power of 65 W and can draw up to 219 W Maximum Turbo Power under sustained peak workloads. Intel specifies a Tjunction up to 100 °C. Retail boxed SKUs ship with Intel’s Laminar RM1 thermal solution to simplify initial builds.

Real-world performance: the hybrid core design schedules foreground, latency-sensitive work on the fastest P-cores while offloading parallel and background tasks to E-cores. That results in smoother gameplay while streaming, faster render and export times for video editors, quicker compiles for developers, and improved throughput for content pipelines. Whether you’re building a gaming/streaming PC, a content-creation workstation or a prosumer editing rig, the i7-14700F balances price and performance exceptionally well.

Compatibility & builder notes: the CPU fits FCLGA1700 (LGA1700) sockets and supports Intel 600- and 700-series chipset motherboards (BIOS update may be required on some older boards). Boxed units typically include the processor, Laminar RM1 cooler, installation guide and warranty documentation — useful for first-time builders. For sustained heavy loads, consider aftermarket cooling that can handle higher power draws.
