Released Jan 8, 2024$134 launch priceDesktop Processor

Intel's 14th-generation entry quad-core for LGA1700: four performance cores with Hyper-Threading at 3.5 GHz base and up to 4.7 GHz, 12 MB cache, UHD Graphics 730, and DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 memory support. Launched in Q1 2024 as a Raptor Lake Refresh part.

Pros

  • 4 cores and 8 threads at up to 4.7 GHz, all performance cores
  • 60 W base power with modest cooling needs
  • Supports either DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 memory on LGA1700 boards
  • Integrated UHD Graphics 730 covers basic display and video needs without a graphics card

Cons

  • Only 4 cores, limiting heavily multithreaded workloads
  • Locked multiplier, no overclocking
  • 110 W maximum turbo power is far above the 60 W base rating under sustained load
