That being said from then to even 12th gen the performance has gone up quite a bit with the newer cpu's so I'm not surprised to see that slow down a bit between 13th and 14th gen

My theory is that 14th Gen is what Raptor Lake was supposed to be all along. Given that 13th Gen was put out ten months after 12th Gen, I think that was rushed out to compete with the 5800X3D. Then they tried to bargain on Meteor Lake for even more uplift, but since that isn't working out for desktop they put the refresh out as a placeholder until Arrow Lake.

This 14th refresh is because Meteor Lake flops on desktop and wasn't really ready in time. OEMs are rushing out Phoenix Zen4 laptops. Anyway 12th gen had bugs, the Thread Director stuff wasn't working right and it needed Windows 11 so launched late after the 11th gen debacle. Adding Atom E-cores was already a desperate play brute forcing MT benchmarks with power consumption. Raptor Lake was a refinement on Alder, required to counter Zen4, fixing bugs and adding more Atom cores. Intel are trying to hang on, but Zen5 is starting to leak out now, OEMs are unimpressed by 14th and this means AMD launch a new architecture unopposed until Q4/24.

It is supposed to be refresh, and that is what it is. Jay makes a good point in regards the power profile, most MB manufacturers have automated settings that will make the cpu pull up to 200 watts more than intended, for minimal gains in performance and much higher temperatures. I have seen benchmarks of the 14700k pulling 500 watts for often 3% better performance than what it gets when consuming 250-300. Asus is normally the largest culprit , but msi is starting to do the same.

Thanks for the video! I haven't been able to find much about a topic you brought up surrounding ASUS motherboards and MultiCore Enhancement. What setting should I use if I'm primarily gaming on a 13900k with a 360mm AIO? Thanks!

I have the 13700K and the 7900X. Bothare really good, but the 7900X is a beast

When I was building a full-size PC last December, I went with the 13,900K and I am happy with it. I'll stick with it for the foreseeable future.

Hello Jay, Great insights here! Was about to buy a 14th gen, now.... not so much. Is there a chance you've heard about the Intel Core i9 13900KF series having issues? I've been having these odd power management issues, where if its in "high performance mode" It just crashes everything in its path that even remotely CPU heavy. Also, running the "extreme tuning utility" and running the score test on high performance, instantly shuts down my pc. I've been googling, but hear about defective 13900 series ? Keep up the great work!

Why is your radiator upside down on that desk pc? Great content keep it up.

Just got a 5900x. Very happy with it. Don't really care about DDR5 stuff.

This blows my mind. This is a technology company at the quite literal forefront of INNOVATION, and this is the kind of tech we are presented with.

What kind of timeline do you think it will be for them to drop the 13th gen price? Theyve already dropped it some but kinda waiting to see if they drop it more. Had high hopes for the 14700k with more core but the let me down...so on sale 13700k it is lol.

I love the Halloween video part, can you share that? Is ut something you build or used something available

Exactly. Best thing ever said by a content creator put whatever you can afford into your build.

I have a 12900K and I'm on the fence. I want the cores because I don't just game, I do a lot of media exporting and the core count makes a difference, but I'm wondering if I wouldn't be just fine getting a 13900K and overclocking the snot out of it? I'm water cooled with gobs of thermal capacity, so heat isn't a worry.

Did Jay just confirm you dont need to flash the bios on the Z790 motherboards to get a 14900k to work? Bought an extra 12400 just in case i needed to flash the firmware temporarily on my brand new ordered MSI Z790I EDGE mITX board. (coming from 11th gen so i dont have the existing board with 12th/13th gen)

Jay I really appreciate the add in the middle of the video instead of the start. We usually have to watch 2 adds before the video even plays and getting slapped with a third is kinda frustrating.

I'm really happy to hear this because I'm about to build a new PC, upgrading from a 4th Gen i5, so knowing I can save a buck on the 13th gen is pretty awesome.

Congrats to i9 13900K owners you already have i9 14900K a year ago.

Kinda curious how it performs if you donwclock it to a 13900k and undervolt it, the power draw is important to me or I will have to go to AMD

Yeah, it will be nice to see build videos. Different price points would be nice too to get an idea of how much performance you can squeeze into a budget. I’m in desperate need to build an updated PC (currently on 4th gen Intel and DDR3 RAM), but I can’t afford cutting edge tech now that babies will be on the way.

So why did Intel not include the AV1 HW encoder and a quad channel Memory access (to already on the module dual channeled DDR5)? This would have given a significant advantage and benefit. I do love my i7-13700h in permanent 65W and nearly the same performance and a much much better iGPU for OpenCL calculations.

Given the complexity of the CPU numbering, a simple "-R" for "refresh" or similar changes wouldn't really stand out - as fitting as that might be. As an experiment: Take a look at the Haswell CPU numbers and try to tell at a glance which of those are from the Haswell Refresh.

I have just purchased a RYZEN 9 5900x to upgrade from my RYZEN 5 3600xt, I also purchased an NZXT Kraken Elite 280 to keep it cool. I am pretty confident that I made a good choice given the poor showing from Intel, and I am not really made of money.

Does the new 14th gen fix the memory controller issues with having 4 dimms of high speed ram installed?

I'm just about to build a new gaming rig, so going for the 14th gen, just because the price is so similar, I might as well and its better performance per watt. They didn't make much of a fuss on this launch to be fair. I'd agree its not a whole new gen at all though. Great coverage as always.

So I'm going from a 9900k to the 14900k. My 14900k already shipped. I'm happy tbh. I've had the 9900k since release. I like to upgrade every 5 years...Should I have waited for the 15th? I was debating it. The 15th should in theory be a LARGE improvement....but I just want to run my FS2020 at 60 frames 4k and be able to edit my videos a bit faster for now. I think it's worth it for me coming from the 9900...but I agree, coming from anything 12k or above, it's not worth it. Wait for the 15th if you're on the 12th or 13th gen.

New Intel marketing idea: it’s getting colder out, heat your house even more inefficiently than last year with no gain to performance!

I feel like we may have just hit another space in time like 2010/11 to 2015, where noone made bigger and better cpus (as in more cores and more threads), just more efficient. I honestly would be ok with that. Diamond and glass boards over classic silicon, among a multitude of other technologies, might be something that will be the next true leap.

I am very much not "okay with that" tbh. 2010-2015 is when AMD was in a rut with their products and intel stagnated their releases even claiming that it wasn't possible to fit more than 4c8t on a consumer cpu (I hope we can all agree now that their claims were clearly false on this) we're leaving a period where we had competition and going back to a similar state to this. I'd rather have both companies fighting to improve their products, not one sitting on their ass without improving (currently amd) and the other so far behind that they are UNABLE to innovate past their competitor (intel) I really can't wrap my head round how the state of things can be seen as a positive tbh

@sk8er100100 I was more so meaning that I would be ok with 3 or 4 years of just efficiency improvements for power consumption and the like. We have had incremental improvements, but I think each of these companies doing a release every year just to release stuff needs to stop. They obviously need some time to produce real worth while improvements. Intel, AMD, Nvidia, all of them. All Nvidia did this last time was essentially give a slight power efficiency per core and then just through more on for the high-end gpus and cut cuda cores and other things for the lower end, and have essentially given nothing for better options to lower than mid high range cards. Amd kinda did the same, and Intels gpus are still having growing pains. What the industry needs now in a drive to keep its current power house peak, but get power consumption under control. Every industry needs a plato at some point to trully build a platform to launch a trully 'next gen' process

Currently running a 10900k and picked up a 14900k, so I’m not mad a the minor differences from 13th gen.

it might have the 13th gen core, but it could also have added functionality that OS like windows will use only if the CPU identifies it self as Gen14th

Thay never promised 3 gens, only 2. Meteor Lake was supposed to come out now on the new LGA1851 socket.

These high-end CPU's are such a niche market for those on a 4K resolution monitor or for those doing heavy productivity. The vast majority of people should realistically just go out and get a 7600 or 7600X and that's more than adequate I think. Failing that, if they can land a 13600K on sale or a 13700K for future proofing, even better. The 7800X3D is a sensible price right now, so maybe even pairing one of them with a 7900 XT is viable.

Guess ill wait on 15th gen xD

But how do you know which pieces go with what parts?! ( buy a motherboard which processor will work on it, or style of ram.

would like to see how they overclock, i have a 13900k, have undervolted to keep temps down but cant get much more clock out of it over stock even with temps staying in the low 70s

Rocking a 5950X. Sure 14900K is desently faster than my 5950X, specially in some games. But the power consumption and heat output is a deal breaker for me. 14900K use to much power compared to 5950X. I'll wait for 15 gen before any upgrade to intel at least. Maybe zen 5 perhaps.

but thats why they called it a refresh, its not really marketed as a next gen cpu, next year they are even changing the naming scheme. I feel like in the past Intel did this because they had no competition and no reason to innovate, but this time I feel like they just didnt have next gen ready in time. Also some gens with a yearly release schedule have to be small uplifts in performance, you cant go from 12th gen to 13th gen type improvements every year, I just dont think thats possible, I think they have to go back to the tick tock approach, they did away with it to get to a certain level to make sure they keep up with amd , but I think to keep price and power usage down they have to go back to a tick tock sort of approach. Where every 2 years is the big upgrade and in between just process refinement.

14th gen does have one extra: APO. That is only 14th gen and only 14700 and 14900 series. How much that will affect how many games on Windows has to be seen because the hardware side seems to be a bit ahead of the software side. But if it works as advertised fine-tuned scheduling for a particular application can have quite an impact on the performance. But AFAIK the software side is still TBA.

Is a 14700k worth upgrading to from the 9700k? It's still going strong but I'm noticing lately it is *starting* to lack in power for certain games/streams, just wondering if It's worth going to 14700k, or 13700k?

4 years ago I never thought I would go amd but with Nvidia's complete disregard for there customers and Intel's stagnation I'll be going 7800x3d and 7900 xtx. Vote with your dollars.

Hey guys, maybe some of you could give me an advise. I´m going to buy now Dell XPS 17 (2023) (i9-13900H) with a very good price (Black Friday Deal plus some other discounts). Should I wait for the next XPS coming out in January (with Meteor Lake) though?

I was just going to blindly order a 14900K & Gigabyte Z790X board with some 7200MHz G.Skill RAM, but I waited for the reviews to hit, and all of the info was so negative/underwhelming that I actually cancelled the RAM order & didn't order the CPU or the board... now I'm thinking I should just go with a 7800X3D or 7950X3D... what would you recommend?
