Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Motherboard manufacturers have been the source of plenty of information regarding Intel’s 14th Gen Raptor Lake refresh processors and this time ASRock has put more weight to performance expectations and launch dates for them. To start with, on its own website ( via Videocardz ), the company has blogged about both the launch date and performance of 14th Gen Raptor Lake refresh CPUs.

Firstly there are the performance numbers. Here we’re told that the highest end model – presumably a Core i9-14900K – will offer between eight to 15 percent more performance in multi-threaded workloads than the current Core i9-13900K. ASRock has stated performance increase claims for Intel’s 14th Gen CPUs along with launch dates and .

Here, performance could rise by 17 percent and this seemed to be accurate in leaked Cinebench and CPU results , which have been repeated in other leaked results too. As a result, the extra performance for the Core i9-14900K will come primarily from frequency increases. Performance numbers for Intel’s Core i7-14700K were leaked recently, with the Core i9-14900K .

Launch date rumors have pointed at October and ASRock confirms this in its blog post too. MORE FOR YOU The Collapsing Soviet Army Left Behind Dozens Of IMR-2 Engineering Vehicles. The Ukrainian Army Eagerly Snatched Them Up.

Previous rumors have pointed at increased core counts for other 14th Gen CPUs, but more recent information points at just the Core i7-14700K receiving four additional E-cores. This was a little disappointing, but the rest of the range will still benefit from higher clock speeds, gaining between 100-200MHz on their peak boost frequencies.
