For desktops, Intel introduced the Core i7-14700K, featuring a hybrid design of 8 P-Cores and 12 E-Cores and achieving a top clock speed of 5.6 GHz. This configuration was previously associated with the Core i7-13850HX, which wasn't broadly adopted by laptop producers. Now, this design is finding its place in desktops and top-tier systems in the 14th Gen Core series.

A Geekbench entry provides insights into the expected performance of the i7-14700HX CPU, showcasing a peak clock speed of 5287 MHz. The detailed benchmark data suggests frequencies up to 5462 MHz, aligning closely with the prior flagship's 5.6 GHz turbo clock. Performance-wise, the upcoming CPU marks a step forward from the 13700HX, with an 18.7% improvement in multicore performance attributed to the increased core count. The single-core performance also shows a rise, with scores increased by approximately 12%. Although Intel has not announced an official release date for the 14th Gen Core-HX series, an event slated for the mobile Meteor Lake (Core Ultra) series on December 14th might offer hints about this CPU series' debut. From a technical standpoint, the lineup seems ready for an imminent launch.
