What counts in the end: Who offers the best package? And a super-fast processor alone is not enough. The test winner was Intel's Core i7-14700K. The 20-core processor was extremely fast, its graphics chip offered a decent speed and it left nothing to be desired in terms of energy consumption...

With the Intel Core i5-14600K, the refresh of the i5-13600K converts a little more power into a little more performance. Little has changed in the architecture itself. This does not mean that the CPU is bad: it slightly outperforms its predecessor overall and thus offers a well-rounded overall package for the vast majority of work tasks and for gaming PCs...

The differences compared to the predecessors 13900K and Core 13600K are only minor, the new CPUs Core i9-14900K and Core i5-14600K are only slightly faster. Therefore: If you already have a PC with an older Raptor Lake CPU, you can safely keep it, it's not worth switching. For all customers who are considering buying a new PC or want to replace an even older CPU in an existing computer, the new refresh...
