Core i7-14700K Spec and Price in the United States
Released October 17, 2023 · $419.00 MSRP
Intel's 14th Gen desktop value pick: twenty cores split eight Performance and twelve Efficient, four more E-cores than the prior generation for a stated 25% core-count gain. The extra silicon mostly helps multi-threaded and creator workloads rather than gaming, where the 5.6 GHz boost clock and 33MB of L3 cache do the heavy lifting. A 253W maximum turbo power under an all-core load is the real cost of chasing that headroom — plan cooling for it.
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.

What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- Four additional efficiency cores over the previous model, at a reasonable price, with gaming performance very close to the flagship.
- Faster than its direct rival in applications, with PCI-Express 5.0, an unlocked multiplier and both DDR4 and DDR5 support.
Commonly criticised
- Very high power usage and demanding cooling needs at high temperatures, for only minor gains over the previous generation.
- The highest boost is only reached on two cores, and there is no AVX-512 or AI acceleration support.
