The Intel Core i7 14700K brings something genuinely new to the table. It offers four more E-cores than the Core i7 13700K, and it`s a touch faster, for a couple dollars more. The 14700K comes with eight Performance-cores (P-cores) and 12 Efficient-cores (E-cores). While the architecture remains the same between the two-both utilise the Raptor Lake hybrid architecture-the 14700K comes with four more E-cores and 100–200MHz higher clocks on both E-cores and P-cores under Boost. The slight gain in clock speed will only amount to a minor boost in games. However, those extra E-cores do amount to a tangible benefit in applications that prefer a little more horsepower, and you are clearly better off for having the extra silicon under the hood. It`s the faster, low-latency P-cores that take the brunt of the gaming workload, and they`re most important when chasing frames. Yet those extra E-cores can help out with gaming-in some instances directly via the game engine or most likely by offloading background threads or other tasks to free up the P-cores. There`s a feature included with the 14700K/KF and 14900K/KF called Intel Application Optimization, or APO for short, that has been shown to improve utilisation of E-cores, too.
