Core i5-14600K Spec and Price in Italy

LGA170014 cores / 20 threads

Released October 17, 2023 ·

A mid-range hybrid part: fourteen cores split six Performance and eight Efficient reach a 5.3GHz boost from a 3.5GHz P-core base, backed by 24MB of L3 cache. Maximum turbo power tops out at 181W, well below the 253W ceiling of the K-series i7 and i9 parts above it, so cooling demands are lighter. Intel UHD Graphics 770 is onboard for a fallback display, and the $329 boxed price undercuts the 14700K's $419 by $90 for six fewer total cores.

Tied 31st of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 8 models share this figure. Tied 51st of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 6 models share this figure.

Guides for this category

How to choose a desktop CPUA chip's socket decides what it can go into; cores, cache and TDP decide what you actually get once it's installed.How many CPU cores you actually needWhy more cores is not more speed, how gaming and productivity ask for cores differently, and why a core count alone never ranks two chips.When a CPU price is actually goodWhy a chip's list price and discount percentage tell you little, what a processor's price does over its life, and how to read its tracked history.Laptop CPU vs desktop CPUA mobile chip with the same core count is not the same processor — what the power envelope changes, and why these parts carry no price.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 2 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Reasonably priced with excellent gaming performance, beating every non-stacked-cache competitor and faster than its direct rival in applications.
  • Good energy efficiency, PCI-Express 5.0, an unlocked multiplier, integrated graphics, and both DDR4 and DDR5 support.
  • Owners call it a strong value, delivering fast gaming and multitasking performance even on DDR4 systems.
  • The E-cores are repeatedly praised for handling background and multitasking work alongside the P-cores.
  • With a modest undervolt or a decent cooler it is described as running cool and quiet.

Commonly criticised

  • Only minor improvements over the previous generation.
  • Graphics drop to PCIe x8 when the Gen 5 M.2 slot is in use, and there is no AVX-512 or AI acceleration support.
  • At stock power limits it runs warm and can downclock under full load, so owners say tuning or better cooling helps.
