The frequency of the 14th generation Intel Raptor Lake Refresh desktop CPU is rumored to be as high as 6.2GHz –

The 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh desktop CPUs are expected to further improve speed compared to the 13th Gen Raptor Lake.

MLID revealed new details about the 14th generation Raptor Lake Refresh desktop CPU series, which it said is expected to launch in the third quarter of 2023 and will be supported by the current LGA 1700 platform. The product will have desktop S and mobile HX versions, and will sit alongside the Meteor Lake-P and Meteor Lake-M series.

According to rumors, the Raptor Lake Refresh desktop CPU series will not have more than 8 + 16 core configurations, but it is expected to adopt some new models, mainly 6 + 8 and 2 + 8 model configurations, which can be used as Core i5 and Core i3 design. These may or may not be the actual models released.

The most important thing mentioned in the leak is that Intel will once again focus on increasing the speed of its chips. The top-of-the-line Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refurbished CPUs are said to be clocked up to 6.2GHz, and there is also the possibility of a higher frequency version with a frequency of up to 6.5GHz. The 6.2GHz speed will be a 7% increase over the Core i9-13900K, which peaks at 5.8GHz, and a 3% increase over the 13900KS, which peaks at 6.0GHz.

It remains to be seen if this is a special KS version of the chip and if there is still a standard TB 3.0 frequency part. Higher frequencies may allow Intel to come close to AMD’s Ryzen 7000X3D chips, but at a higher power cost.
