Core i7-14700KF Spec and Price in Italy

LGA170020 cores / 28 threads

Released October 17, 2023 ·

The F-suffix twin to the 14700K: identical twenty cores split eight Performance and twelve Efficient, the same 5.6GHz boost and 33MB of L3 cache, but with the UHD Graphics 770 die removed — a discrete GPU becomes mandatory. Dropping integrated graphics trims $25 off the 14700K's boxed price without touching CPU performance; the same 253W maximum turbo power still applies. It suits builders who already have a graphics card and don't need the fallback iGPU.

Tied 10th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 7 models share this figure. Tied 30th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 2 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

  • Blisteringly fast with good value for money, the extra cores substantially boosting productivity workloads at roughly the same price as last year's model.
  • Owners describe it as a fast, well-rounded CPU for gaming and productivity, with the extra E-cores helping multitasking.
  • With a 360mm AIO and a light undervolt it is reported to run cool and hold its boost clocks.
  • Several owners say it is the better value than the i9 for workstation-style work.

Commonly criticised

  • Runs hot and uses a lot of power under full load, needing capable cooling, with minimal gains over the previous generation.
  • It runs hot under sustained load, and owners warn that BIOS power limits and voltage tuning are needed.
  • Some report power-related instability, calling it unsuitable for a work machine without careful setup.
  • The jump from recent previous-generation chips is described as small.
