Intel’s 14th Gen lineup remains incomplete. While Intel has introduced its Raptor Lake Refresh lineup, featuring processors like the i9-14900K, i5-14600K, and i7-14700K (including their KF variants), these are specifically K-Series Unlocked processors from Intel. However, Intel also releases other processors that are locked in nature.
These non-K processors boast lower power consumption and lack the capability for users to modify clock speed or voltage. The leak originated from coolmod.com, a Spain-based online retailer specializing in computer components. The information was initially shared by hardware leaker @momomo_us on X (formerly Twitter). As of the time of writing, the leaked product lists are still visible, although the stock status indicates ‘exhausted.’
The latest leak reveals the box art, pricing, and clock speeds of several upcoming Intel 14th Gen desktop processors. Additionally, this leak showcases the clock speed details for numerous non-K series Intel 14th Gen processors.
The retailer has listed a range of upcoming Intel 14th Gen processors on their website. Notably, these alternative variants of Intel 14th Gen CPUs do not feature the ‘Unlocked‘ identifier as part of their product box design.
The upcoming Intel 14th Gen Non-K CPUs are anticipated to arrive at slightly more budget-friendly prices compared to their K-Series counterparts. In addition to new CPUs like the i5-14400 and i9-14900, there are also mentions of F variants. These F variants essentially represent the same CPU but without Intel’s integrated graphics.
The listed prices, converted from Euros to USD, might potentially be placeholders, considering Intel has yet to officially launch other 14th Gen processors. With unlocked K-Series processors such as the Core i9-14900K, Intel expects users to separately acquire their CPU coolers, as these are not included. However, specific variants within the processor lineup might include CPU coolers within the box.
The mentioned Intel non-K Series processors (i9-14900, i7-14700, i5-14500, i5-14400, i3-14100) are expected to come bundled with the stock Intel CPU cooler in black. While these coolers might not support high-power operations or extended workloads, they typically suffice for non-K series CPU users and mitigate major thermal throttling issues.
Are you anticipating the release of Intel’s 14th Gen non-K processors? The i3-14100 and i5-14500, in particular, could prove excellent choices for your next entry-level or mid-range PC build. Share your thoughts in the comments below!
