This is actually good news. The "new gen" at the same msrp will make the "old" 13 gen go down in price, making the 13600 an even better price/performance deal.
Lols, this is such a fanboy response, 13th Gen is still a sucky generation no matter how you picture it, 40% more power for less performance than AMD and at a far higher cost, why would you except that you're a fanboy?
Intel has used the "50" designation before with a desktop processor that fell in between the 10700 and 10900. Remember the 10850K? It was actually a very good value when it was released.
I still have my 10850k and yes it was a great value at the time. Basically just a low binned 10900k and set 100Mhz lower. My second core is a turd so I optimize around it and it's held up great. 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
@@aarliann I still have two 4790K systems, first one is running for 9 years now. You can OC them to hell and back, but the only problem is, it's still just 4 cores. Still, pretty good for 1080 gaming when paired with a 980ti or 1080ti.
But for PC companies.. they need a yearly "NEW MODEL" to sell to people. Real world difference between a top-end 4-year old CPU and new one is minimal. Less heat, usually. I paid $350 for a used ThinkPad with a 6core intel CPU thats 4 years old. It's about 10~12% slower than the 2022 model which sold for $1800. With the bonus of not using USB-C as a charge port.

It's just a waste of your hard earned money. I run a 5800X3D with a 3090, and i don't need to upgrade. I actually dismantled my 10900K system to go full time with the 5800X3D. No need to upgrade bro.

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 was all leaked by MLID months ago xd. Not really news.Glad people are still observant though, can't let intel pool the wool over people's eyes just by calling it 14th gen lol.
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.
Jay thanks so much for your content! I’ve watched 3 reviews on the 14th gen so far and you are the only one that bothered to mention the motherboard power limit stuff. Great video and great review!
I can't decide whether to consider this video aging like fine wine or like milk, considering that both these generations (13th gen and 14th gen) are affected by serious silicon degradation.
overclock the 13900KS and you have matched the 14900K or very very close to oc'ing is free (assuming you had a beefy cooler already, as you should for a 13900KS)
@@MrVlodato Sure. But I mean if you're going to buy a 14900K / 13900K / 7950X or something like that, you're more than likely going to pair it with a 7900 XTX or a 4090. The reason I mention the resolution here is because it just seems like a waste of money to get those GPU's and play on anything less than 4K because there are more affordable/sensible purchases that work perfectly well with 1440p or even 1080p - 13600K, 14600K, 7600/7600X or even a 7800X3D for future proofing as it's not crazy expensive compared to a 13600K. The 7700/7700X doesn't really make any sense to me given that it's literally only £50 less than a 7800X3D atm.
My undervolted 13900ks has almost same multicore score as this 14900k. Reckon if I unleash it, remove the negative offset and increase LLC a bit, would beat it without a doubt
I am excited for this release just because the pricing is so close between 13th and 14th gen and the performance isn't much of an improvement. I'm looking for a Micro Center bundle deal on the 13700k/13900k or 7900X around Black Friday. I sure hope those prices drop a fair bit by then.
I'm looking to build my first PC in a few months, and honestly i'm hyped for this launch because i'm hoping 13th gen will go down by like, 40 bucks. Appreciate the small things :)
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.
Honestly used the 14700k to build my first ever PC, love it so far. When pricing I was seeing practically no price difference between the Generation. Your channel and Linus were the ones that inspired me to finally build a Computer, Thank You ^.^
14K in all bench marks is out performing the 13K by at least 20 FPS, this guy is a trendy pro AMD intel hater, he talked about AMD being a piece of shit basically because it can't handle memory but at the same time promotes AMD. Stick to your 14K it's a superior processor to AMD's trash lately and 13K, don't buy the crap real world talks.
@@figureitoutpunkIntel 13th or 14th gen is just objectively worse than AMD's current gen. If you look at temps and power draw to performance, that is. Intel currently uses ridiculous amounts of power and overheats very fast
@@figureitoutpunkyou don't know how comparisons work, the 14th gen has single percent uplifts, just agree with rest of us that Intel is just giving us a hotter chip for no performance upgrade. The 7800x3d beats every consumer cpu in gaming and 7950x beats every consumer cpu for productivity and efficiency. 14k is superior alright, superior trash.
As someone still rocking a 9th Gen Intel I just watch your videos for info for when I finally upgrade. So glad that I do, thank you Jay. please keep it up.
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.
Like Jay say if you don't have the 13th gen then it's okay for the upgrade. Not worth the upgrade from the 13th gen since it only gain a little performance. It's like buying a car. If the new model still using the same motor, it's not really an upgrade. It's just an update.
13:36 it feels like you’re in better spirits doing builds, I like how you delivered this review, instructional in addition to review/benchmark. Good comparison to the 7950x too just built a pc with that, no 14th gen for me!
As frustrating as it might be for us, I can see one argument for calling these 14th gen: Making it obvious, which are their latest CPUs. 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 would have loved to see the 12900k on the comps just to see how much difference the 13 was compared the the 14th increase. do you guys have the i7 14th gen yet?
These guys likely sell their gifted samples (gifted meaning they get to keep those ones) on ebay after a while. Which is theirs to do as they please with, but i mention it just so everyone knows they do NOT need your 'donations' or for you to buy their grift merch to keep them going. Ad-rev is more than enough already.

@@twiistedpanda4781 Oh there's merch (stuff that's helpful and useful and is equal or less than other prices), and then there's grift merch which is overpriced stuff (good or bad) or junk, which is ALWAYS overpriced. You can tell which is which by comparing prices with other like-items on different stores. Like the Linus screwdriver BS, that's pure grift merch. Linus, and all these other big techtubers know, there's plenty of mindless lemming fanboys out there to soak money out of, and so the grift merh does well. Other types of grift merch would be the usual t-shirts, mugs, flasks, waterbottles, posters, keychains.
I've got nowhere near the budget or need for a chip like this, but it's always interesting to see how things are going on the cutting edge of consumer tech. Shame that it's bad advertising, but even small improvements to efficiency and thermals are welcomed. I'll stick to my 7600x for the next few years and see where things are closer to the end of the decade, though XD
Not at a $300 difference in price. This is just Intel trying to respond to AMD who at least has a use case for more cores but only one has the VRAM makes for some problems practically.
I am happy with my 7950X running @105w ECO mode, PBO -15, runs cool, My Geekbench6 scores different to yours Jayz - SC =2984, MC.=19,365 - not as quick as Intel but a darn sight lower power draw and heat output - ASUS B650E-E Corsair 64Gb 5600 CAS 40 !
This matters a lot for someone like me who uses a computer all day in a home office. I traded in my color calibrated photo monitors and downgraded to LED panels just to save power and thus much much less heat in my room. Working or gaming in a sauna is no fun.
That's one of the things I love about Jay , he tells it like it is , gives you the facts so you can make your own mind up about a product . Pity we don't get the same kind of honesty from manufacturers .
I'm really happy to hear this because I'm about to build a new PC, upgrading from a 4th Gen i5, so knowing I can save a buck on the 13th gen is pretty awesome.
I already buy it... and i think its worth it depends on your situation... i have the 4790k from 10 years ago and its time for an upgrade, initialy i wanted the 13900k but the 14900k is only 49€ or 52$ more in my country (spain) so i think its worth it for me. Cant wait to have my new PC
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.
I upgraded to the 5900x a year ago after running my 2600 into the ground😂 and I love it. I’ll upgrade to 8000 series in a couple years probably cause I’m not made of money either
After shelling out the dough for a 13900k and a 4090 all on water. Kind of don't want to upgrade a thing until it's time to upgrade the whole damn thing, Haha
As a 8th gen user that is seeing the last days of his I5 I think that the slight increase in performance at the same price sounds promising, obviously not what I expected. Maybe I can get a nice deal on 13th gen
I'm on 6th gen. GTX 1070. Getting 60fps on low and some medium for Warhanmer Dark Tide. Good optimized games like Forza Horizon 5 run at 60fps Extreme.
Interesting side note Jay, in a recent ASUS bios update for AMD, they changed PBO to "AI Optimized". I flashed my bios 2 weeks ago, and reran Cinebench r23 just to see how it changed my scores. After it ran, saw a score increase of nearly 2k on my 7700x. I went from mid 18000's to low 20000's
Which mobo? I just looked and see that my X670E-E got BIOS 1709 five days ago, so I'll have to try that. When I built my 7900X rig in February, my initial R23 benchmark was over 29000 (can't recall what BIOS version and the old ones are gone now), but subsequently I'd sometimes be as low as 27000s or low 28000s range depending on which EXPO setting I used. (EXPO I seems fastest for me.) Been on 1602 for two months but before that I had to use 1416 with SoC voltage manually locked at 1.25V cuz 1516 was so unstable that I would only successfully boot one in three or four times, Windows would get corrupted and require a Restore rollback, and it'd even freeze in BIOS. Just awful.
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.
Nice one Jay, it sickens me too a bit when such massive corporations resort to such sleazy marketing to basically scam people into an overpriced 13th gen in this case. Intel and nVidia both need an intervention for their creative marketing practices.
@@yomiiiu Can't wait for Intel to give us a socket that changes mid-generation. So we'll have less than a whole generation for the single type of socket (and motherboard). At that point I'd be tempted to file suit against Intel for actively anti-consumer business practices, and violation of truth in advertisement laws (after obtaining legal counsel).
I still haven't found a personal use case that has made me feel compelled to upgrade my i7-6700 from late 2015. The fact that it isn't "ready for Windows 11" just means it doesn't bug me to "upgrade" to the advertising platform and data harvesting tool masquerading as an operating system that is Win11. I'm migrating to some flavor of Linux when Windows 10 reaches EOL.
I have been running Pop-OS on my old 6700k, I like it a lot more than windows. There is a learning curve with Linux, but I am not going back to Windows. My cooling fans alone run near silent unless I load the system, couldn't ever say that with Windows. Going to see how it all works with my new machine once my last parts arrive and I can build it.
I’d have been on Linux a very long time ago if gaming on it was worth a damn but I’ve been largely disappointed with how much work it takes just even get it “barely playable” in my opinion. And lack of graphics card controls, without a ton of work? I’m good. I’ll just remove everything I don’t need from windows 11 as I’ve done since the start
I might end up dual-booting Windows 11 if any of the games I want to play are grossly incompatible with Linux, but I don't foresee myself daily-driving it. I hear the work that Valve has done on the Proton compatibility layer since the success of the Steam Deck has made Linux gaming much more seamless these days, @stevenmartin4889 .
@@davide4725 The fact that you can opt out of the advertising platform and data harvesting tools baked into Windows 11 by jumping through some annoying and unintuitive hoops in order to bypass the M$ account login IN NO WAY excuses the fact that it is, by default, an advertising platform and data harvesting tool. That isn't a conspiracy theory, it's the Microsoft business model.
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.
AMD has had significant performance increase every generation of Ryzen. It can be done. Ryzen 8000 is currently expected to have 10%+ increase in IPC over Ryzen 7000. If AMD can do it then Intel has the $ to do it too.
Reminds me of a cartoon I saw with the caption "Inside the Intel Pentium III factory" (or very close to that) The picture was a conveyor belt loaded with Pentium IIs being "processed" by painting another stroke on them to make them IIIs.
Don't get why people are so mad about this, I saw this as a mostly possitive thing. To me this feels like a socket's getting a mature upgrade (allthough small on the perf. side). Allthough whoever upgrades from 13 to 14th gen is probably not the smartest person. I have a 11700K so an upgrade would be nice but not neccesary, though the 14700K had a few E-cores more and I always tend to go for the seond option so to speak. For example i decided on a 4080 instead of a 4090 and 2y-3y before that i went with a 11700K instead of the 11900K. For me It's not worth it going with the most expensive option.
i just bought a laptop from Origin. It has the i9 13gen with the 4090. I was nervous to see the 14th gen come out, but now im happy 😊. I hate the “obsolete before you open the box” with computers.
I guess you could say the new chip is GENder fluid. This makes it so much easier to forget about the 13th and 14th gen altogether and see what 15th gen brings. 9700k @ 5ghz still chugging along.
I recently switched from an i5 4440 to a 12400 and the leap in performance was significant. for a 14th cpu if I upgraded I'd only be gaining a few more e-cores but the price, even more so in the third world, doesn't justify it.
I built my first all new PC in over a decade recently as I got a heck of a deal on a Chinese Erying 12900H(14 core/20 thread laptop CPU on a desktop Micro ATX board that's a beast!!), 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and an AMD RX6650XT 8GB GPU on Manjaro Gnome Linux I can't see myself upgrading anytime soon with what Intel wants for 13th, or 14th gen, and same for AMD, and not much performance benefits, and this is coming from someone in the US making decent money, so it's not just 3rd world feeling the hurt when it comes to tech prices.
@@kocepetkov5730 yeah it's a world of difference. i even got more performance out of my 1050ti with this upgrade. i think its best to wait until next gen to see what intel comes up with.
I think anything like a 5 year or more gap between upgrades would give a significant jump in performance. Certainly for the last decade. Things might slow from now on but who knows. For the average Joe watching UA-cam and buying stuff from Amazon nowadays, pretty much anything will work 😂.
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.
I think you nailed it… in the criticism, the conclusion, but also in pointing out the one tangible benefit - the only compelling reason to grab this over the cheaper 13th gen will be to keep power/heat in check while getting slightly better performance. Anyone wanting to buy a dead socket for a “bargain” will take 13th gen. Personally being able to run a 14700k on a 280 loop will be absolutely worth it, but I’m in an ITX niche that applies to nearly no-one…
upgrading from a 9700k to a 14700k next week. I appreciate the honesty, definitely eye opening but the prices are so similar between 13 and 14 gen i may as well get the 'newest' CPU available
Der Bauer just showed how his Asus Z790 Heros PL1 and PL2 settings are pretty much set to unlimited unless you go into bios and set them yourselves . His 14900k had a max power usage of 343 watts! Insane especially when compared to the 7800x3d amd its power usage...
Well... they're about the same retail price now but since there are always people who upgrade for the extra bump ...2nd hand prices for the 13th gen have gone down!
All consumer hardware improvements from one gen to another are so minimalistic I have no need nor enough performance boost upgrade to justify buying new hardware more often than every 4 years. This was my CPU journey with intel - Core 2 quad 8300 -> i7-4790 -> i7-10700k. My next CPU will be no sooner than 16000 gen. The main improvement in performance I have ever experienced was switch from HDD to SSD. Then there are GPU upgrades when u move up a gen and a tier at the same time but thats it.
Went 13th gen a few months ago after seeing reports that 14th would essentially just be a refresh, was still on 2nd gen so had to build something anyway. Probably won't be doing another build for 5-10 years again.
1:50 8700k and 9700k are very different CPUs, 9700k doesn't have hyperthreading, 8700k does. In some games 8700k performs much better than 9700k because of that
I'm with I7 4 gen (still!) and thinking of a huge upgrade. But keeping in mind Intel is working for the upcoming Meteor Lake for near future, I'll wait for it! It seems the Meteor will bring bigger changes.
Agreed. It's an infinity spinning wheel. The way is define a target setup and stick with it for a couple years. I've decided to upgrade to what's available today. The 2tb ssd (firecuda 530) is on the way.
It's been done, it's like going from AMD Ryzen 2700X to 3700X. The improvement to the process that is actually noticeable has been getting a new number in the front before. Nothing wrong with that.
My 12900K should easily keep me happy for another year or two. I plan to eventually just grab the latest/best CPU compatible with my system once the next socket hits the shelves and prices drop. Which to be honest, this news makes me a little less enthusiastic about that plan...
Last few years I've gone from (in the house) a 7700 and a 8700kf to a 12700/13700 and the wife was seeing the 14th gen stuff 'did we just buy you outdated stuff already'. My response was "nope, 14th gens just slightly better 13th, what I have works and works well." That in the ends the big thing, if it works for you than it works for you and that's all that matters. I'd love to see some more mid tier builds etc from you Jay, maybe showing some interesting things that you can do with AIO's etc to make the case look better, I know that for me personally I'd love to be able to do a custom loop and have everything look exactly how I want, but the price difference between say a Lian Li Galahad 360 and a 'custom' loop is just way to much especially in this day and age of inflation.
Thank you I'm looking on up grading my build from a 4790, but I've been looking at motherboards and I think a 13th gen should be good, don't waste the money on 14th.
I’m on a Intel i7 6700 and it runs games just fine. I run most of my games on high graphic settings at about 80 fps with about 15-20 Fps fluctuation. It’s paired with a evga3090.
I have a 4080 with an intel 12700. Full system powerdraw, playing at 60fps (limited and underclocked my GPU) is 280w total. That is including my 65" TV. With the TV off, I am on about 180w total draw. Ark Ascended, average about 68w GPU draw, super smooth. Will not be upgrading anytime soon
This was supposed to be the gen we could upgrade more without needing to buy another MoBo due to new socket. I guess not. I'll keep my 12700k and I'll be forced to buy a new MoBo and new DDR5 in the future...
This is actually good news. The "new gen" at the same msrp will make the "old" 13 gen go down in price, making the 13600 an even better price/performance deal.
13500 should be even better p/p after this. (I'm not bitter, i'm just sad i didn't wait).
Lols, this is such a fanboy response, 13th Gen is still a sucky generation no matter how you picture it, 40% more power for less performance than AMD and at a far higher cost, why would you except that you're a fanboy?

go pick whatever suit your need and pocket
since sometimes amd cheaper and sometimes is intel cheaper.

Jay thanks so much for your content! I’ve watched 3 reviews on the 14th gen so far and you are the only one that bothered to mention the motherboard power limit stuff. Great video and great review!
Just got a 5900x. Very happy with it. Don't really care about DDR5 stuff.
Just got a 7800X3D from Best Buy for $329. Gonna be a massive upgrade from my ancient Intel 2600K!
Are you gonna pair the 7800X3D with a GTX570 from the old system? 😅
Jokes aside, I still have a 3930K and a GTX580 in good running condition myself 😊
Hard to cool, and only for gaming.
@@Joeteck Patrick P. Gelsinger is that you?
@@yourfavoritelawnguy2722No. CEO and founder of JoeteckTips... But close..
Exactly. Best thing ever said by a content creator put whatever you can afford into your build.
I can't decide whether to consider this video aging like fine wine or like milk, considering that both these generations (13th gen and 14th gen) are affected by serious silicon degradation.
13900KS = 14900K + a slight bump, close enough to being twins though. Think I'm staying with 12900KF.
What resolution are you running with that 12900KF btw?
overclock the 13900KS and you have matched the 14900K or very very close to
oc'ing is free (assuming you had a beefy cooler already, as you should for a 13900KS)
@@benjamind547 wouldn't CPU usage go down as the resolution goes up anyway?
@@MrVlodato Sure. But I mean if you're going to buy a 14900K / 13900K / 7950X or something like that, you're more than likely going to pair it with a 7900 XTX or a 4090. The reason I mention the resolution here is because it just seems like a waste of money to get those GPU's and play on anything less than 4K because there are more affordable/sensible purchases that work perfectly well with 1440p or even 1080p - 13600K, 14600K, 7600/7600X or even a 7800X3D for future proofing as it's not crazy expensive compared to a 13600K. The 7700/7700X doesn't really make any sense to me given that it's literally only £50 less than a 7800X3D atm.
My undervolted 13900ks has almost same multicore score as this 14900k.
Reckon if I unleash it, remove the negative offset and increase LLC a bit, would beat it without a doubt
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.
Congrats to i9 13900K owners you already have i9 14900K a year ago.
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.
I am excited for this release just because the pricing is so close between 13th and 14th gen and the performance isn't much of an improvement. I'm looking for a Micro Center bundle deal on the 13700k/13900k or 7900X around Black Friday. I sure hope those prices drop a fair bit by then.
same, hopefully they'll lower the 13900k bundle. Im looking at the 12900k rn but if the 13th gen becomes a better deal i might just do that.
13700k bundle just dropped $50
@@58longi just wish the 13700k bundle came with a better mobo...
Me too, I'll never buy Asus boards again after the RMA experience I had with them. Wish Microcenter would stop putting Asus in the bundles.
I have the 13700K and the 7900X. Bothare really good, but the 7900X is a beast
I'm looking to build my first PC in a few months, and honestly i'm hyped for this launch because i'm hoping 13th gen will go down by like, 40 bucks. Appreciate the small things :)
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.
The 14700k is what has my attention if it can hold the same or better clock speed while adding 4 more cores.
Honestly used the 14700k to build my first ever PC, love it so far. When pricing I was seeing practically no price difference between the Generation. Your channel and Linus were the ones that inspired me to finally build a Computer, Thank You ^.^
14K in all bench marks is out performing the 13K by at least 20 FPS, this guy is a trendy pro AMD intel hater, he talked about AMD being a piece of shit basically because it can't handle memory but at the same time promotes AMD. Stick to your 14K it's a superior processor to AMD's trash lately and 13K, don't buy the crap real world talks.
@@figureitoutpunkIntel 13th or 14th gen is just objectively worse than AMD's current gen. If you look at temps and power draw to performance, that is.
Intel currently uses ridiculous amounts of power and overheats very fast
Don't know if you'll see this comment, but what are you using to cool your 14700k?
I'm using a H100i to cool mine. Still hits 100c during stress testing, but during gaming it runs fine.@@Stealthcastlandon
@@figureitoutpunkyou don't know how comparisons work, the 14th gen has single percent uplifts, just agree with rest of us that Intel is just giving us a hotter chip for no performance upgrade. The 7800x3d beats every consumer cpu in gaming and 7950x beats every consumer cpu for productivity and efficiency. 14k is superior alright, superior trash.
As someone still rocking a 9th Gen Intel I just watch your videos for info for when I finally upgrade.
So glad that I do, thank you Jay. please keep it up.
If they had named it the 13950x then they couldn't say "Hay look we supported the 12th, 13th, and 14th gen CPUs ON THE SAME PLATFORM!"
Exactly.
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.
Was waiting for this before upgrading. Think now I’ll just pick up a cheaper 13th gen
Get a 12th gen. It's more than enough if your building a gaming or editing PC. Mine is way more than I need paired with my 4070.

@@paddlesouth
Like Jay say if you don't have the 13th gen then it's okay for the upgrade. Not worth the upgrade from the 13th gen since it only gain a little performance. It's like buying a car. If the new model still using the same motor, it's not really an upgrade. It's just an update.
people are buying it so ...yeah
intel knew what it was doing.
"It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning."
13:36 it feels like you’re in better spirits doing builds, I like how you delivered this review, instructional in addition to review/benchmark. Good comparison to the 7950x too just built a pc with that, no 14th gen for me!
i would wait for 9000 series 7000 series is poor value and about to get its funeral and much needed price cuts
As frustrating as it might be for us, I can see one argument for calling these 14th gen: Making it obvious, which are their latest CPUs. 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.
90 is bigger than 70, people are going to buy that one at the same price.
AMD 7800X3D pulls about 80W and is a hard match for Intels 14th gen top that can pull 320W....
sure you know what your talking about?
Lol it won't pull that in gaming, most likely 40w more in those loads
i would have loved to see the 12900k on the comps just to see how much difference the 13 was compared the the 14th increase. do you guys have the i7 14th gen yet?
These guys likely sell their gifted samples (gifted meaning they get to keep those ones) on ebay after a while.

Oh there's merch (stuff that's helpful and useful and is equal or less than other prices), and then there's grift merch which is overpriced stuff (good or bad) or junk, which is ALWAYS overpriced.
You can tell which is which by comparing prices with other like-items on different stores.
Like the Linus screwdriver BS, that's pure grift merch. Linus, and all these other big techtubers know, there's plenty of mindless lemming fanboys out there to soak money out of, and so the grift merh does well.
Other types of grift merch would be the usual t-shirts, mugs, flasks, waterbottles, posters, keychains.
I've got nowhere near the budget or need for a chip like this, but it's always interesting to see how things are going on the cutting edge of consumer tech. Shame that it's bad advertising, but even small improvements to efficiency and thermals are welcomed.
I'll stick to my 7600x for the next few years and see where things are closer to the end of the decade, though XD
Not at a $300 difference in price. This is just Intel trying to respond to AMD who at least has a use case for more cores but only one has the VRAM makes for some problems practically.
If I'm doing a new I7 build I'm buying 14 gen, its the top I7. 14 Gen supports more features as well.
I am happy with my 7950X running @105w ECO mode, PBO -15, runs cool, My Geekbench6 scores different to yours Jayz - SC =2984, MC.=19,365 - not as quick as Intel but a darn sight lower power draw and heat output - ASUS B650E-E Corsair 64Gb 5600 CAS 40 !

Why didn’t Jay include the 7800x3d. It trumps the 14900k in cost and performance per watt and only a couple percent slower.
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.

Interesting side note Jay, in a recent ASUS bios update for AMD, they changed PBO to "AI Optimized". I flashed my bios 2 weeks ago, and reran Cinebench r23 just to see how it changed my scores. After it ran, saw a score increase of nearly 2k on my 7700x. I went from mid 18000's to low 20000's
Oh word? 7950x don’t fail me now
Woke up my 6700xt 😅 5900x is locked into all cores same speed stable. Guess I'm try and turn the cpu turbo back on and send it lol 😅
Which mobo? I just looked and see that my X670E-E got BIOS 1709 five days ago, so I'll have to try that.
When I built my 7900X rig in February, my initial R23 benchmark was over 29000 (can't recall what BIOS version and the old ones are gone now), but subsequently I'd sometimes be as low as 27000s or low 28000s range depending on which EXPO setting I used. (EXPO I seems fastest for me.)
Been on 1602 for two months but before that I had to use 1416 with SoC voltage manually locked at 1.25V cuz 1516 was so unstable that I would only successfully boot one in three or four times, Windows would get corrupted and require a Restore rollback, and it'd even freeze in BIOS. Just awful.
Same as you 670E-E

giving my haswell cpu another year to complete the decade, before I upgrade
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.

Nice one Jay, it sickens me too a bit when such massive corporations resort to such sleazy marketing to basically scam people into an overpriced 13th gen in this case.
Intel and nVidia both need an intervention for their creative marketing practices.

@@yomiiiu
Can't wait for Intel to give us a socket that changes mid-generation. So we'll have less than a whole generation for the single type of socket (and motherboard). At that point I'd be tempted to file suit against Intel for actively anti-consumer business practices, and violation of truth in advertisement laws (after obtaining legal counsel).
Thay never promised 3 gens, only 2. Meteor Lake was supposed to come out now on the new LGA1851 socket.
I am on 4790k still 10 years old and rockin almost 5ghz right now! Still brutes through games
100% trust issue to every brand
I still use my 4790k as a blazing media server for plex, and I agree this is giving me the same vibes all over again.
I still haven't found a personal use case that has made me feel compelled to upgrade my i7-6700 from late 2015. The fact that it isn't "ready for Windows 11" just means it doesn't bug me to "upgrade" to the advertising platform and data harvesting tool masquerading as an operating system that is Win11. I'm migrating to some flavor of Linux when Windows 10 reaches EOL.
I have been running Pop-OS on my old 6700k, I like it a lot more than windows. There is a learning curve with Linux, but I am not going back to Windows. My cooling fans alone run near silent unless I load the system, couldn't ever say that with Windows. Going to see how it all works with my new machine once my last parts arrive and I can build it.
I’d have been on Linux a very long time ago if gaming on it was worth a damn but I’ve been largely disappointed with how much work it takes just even get it “barely playable” in my opinion. And lack of graphics card controls, without a ton of work? I’m good. I’ll just remove everything I don’t need from windows 11 as I’ve done since the start
I might end up dual-booting Windows 11 if any of the games I want to play are grossly incompatible with Linux, but I don't foresee myself daily-driving it. I hear the work that Valve has done on the Proton compatibility layer since the success of the Steam Deck has made Linux gaming much more seamless these days, @stevenmartin4889 .
Bro you can quit with the Windows 11 conspiracies. It's the same user experience and you can bypass the Microsoft account requirement.
@@davide4725 The fact that you can opt out of the advertising platform and data harvesting tools baked into Windows 11 by jumping through some annoying and unintuitive hoops in order to bypass the M$ account login IN NO WAY excuses the fact that it is, by default, an advertising platform and data harvesting tool. That isn't a conspiracy theory, it's the Microsoft business model.
Here I am still pushing my 4790k from 2015. Its upgrade time THIS year
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.
AMD has had significant performance increase every generation of Ryzen. It can be done. Ryzen 8000 is currently expected to have 10%+ increase in IPC over Ryzen 7000. If AMD can do it then Intel has the $ to do it too.
Reminds me of a cartoon I saw with the caption "Inside the Intel Pentium III factory" (or very close to that) The picture was a conveyor belt loaded with Pentium IIs being "processed" by painting another stroke on them to make them IIIs.
In Jay we trust!
7950x3d here, couldnt be happier and glad I didn’t wait for intel
Come on Jay, let 13th Gen identify as 14th Gen. It's 2023.
Don't get why people are so mad about this, I saw this as a mostly possitive thing. To me this feels like a socket's getting a mature upgrade (allthough small on the perf. side).
Allthough whoever upgrades from 13 to 14th gen is probably not the smartest person.
I have a 11700K so an upgrade would be nice but not neccesary, though the 14700K had a few E-cores more and I always tend to go for the seond option so to speak.
For example i decided on a 4080 instead of a 4090 and 2y-3y before that i went with a 11700K instead of the 11900K.
For me It's not worth it going with the most expensive option.
That's CRAZY!! I literally had a 14900k in my cart today and replaced it with a 13900k.....and then I see this. It's a sign
i just bought a laptop from Origin. It has the i9 13gen with the 4090. I was nervous to see the 14th gen come out, but now im happy 😊. I hate the “obsolete before you open the box” with computers.
Intel: It's not the same.
Me: Why?
Intel: Because it's not the same.
I guess you could say the new chip is GENder fluid. This makes it so much easier to forget about the 13th and 14th gen altogether and see what 15th gen brings. 9700k @ 5ghz still chugging along.
Currently running a 10900k and picked up a 14900k, so I’m not mad a the minor differences from 13th gen.
Building a new rig and runing a 790 mb and getting a 14th gen i9. Judt because im coming from an 11th gen i7 gaming laptop. Great video as always!
I recently switched from an i5 4440 to a 12400 and the leap in performance was significant. for a 14th cpu if I upgraded I'd only be gaining a few more e-cores but the price, even more so in the third world, doesn't justify it.
recently swapped from an i7-4790 to a 12600k myself, this is a WORLD of difference. Wondering if i should upgrade to a 13900/14900k in the future
I built my first all new PC in over a decade recently as I got a heck of a deal on a Chinese Erying 12900H(14 core/20 thread laptop CPU on a desktop Micro ATX board that's a beast!!), 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and an AMD RX6650XT 8GB GPU on Manjaro Gnome Linux I can't see myself upgrading anytime soon with what Intel wants for 13th, or 14th gen, and same for AMD, and not much performance benefits, and this is coming from someone in the US making decent money, so it's not just 3rd world feeling the hurt when it comes to tech prices.
@@kocepetkov5730 yeah it's a world of difference. i even got more performance out of my 1050ti with this upgrade. i think its best to wait until next gen to see what intel comes up with.
I think anything like a 5 year or more gap between upgrades would give a significant jump in performance. Certainly for the last decade. Things might slow from now on but who knows.
For the average Joe watching UA-cam and buying stuff from Amazon nowadays, pretty much anything will work 😂.
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.
I think you nailed it… in the criticism, the conclusion, but also in pointing out the one tangible benefit - the only compelling reason to grab this over the cheaper 13th gen will be to keep power/heat in check while getting slightly better performance. Anyone wanting to buy a dead socket for a “bargain” will take 13th gen.
Personally being able to run a 14700k on a 280 loop will be absolutely worth it, but I’m in an ITX niche that applies to nearly no-one…
both the 13 and 14th gen are sub par and shouldn't be bought.
It's literally obsolete and wasteful.
Got a great deal on a 13700kf a week ago so good to hear im not missing out on much lol.
i'm still rocking a 9900ks and that is still going strong with my gaming

Feels like the title of this video is even more appropriate given the recent news with 13th & 14th gen.....
Der Bauer just showed how his Asus Z790 Heros PL1 and PL2 settings are pretty much set to unlimited unless you go into bios and set them yourselves . His 14900k had a max power usage of 343 watts! Insane especially when compared to the 7800x3d amd its power usage...
Why is your radiator upside down on that desk pc? Great content keep it up.

can this even be called a refresh? higher price, higher thermals and power usage

Well... they're about the same retail price now but since there are always people who upgrade for the extra bump ...2nd hand prices for the 13th gen have gone down!
This is my time to upgrade, i7 13700k just started getting slow thank you intel and thank you jay for the video
All consumer hardware improvements from one gen to another are so minimalistic I have no need nor enough performance boost upgrade to justify buying new hardware more often than every 4 years.
This was my CPU journey with intel - Core 2 quad 8300 -> i7-4790 -> i7-10700k. My next CPU will be no sooner than 16000 gen. The main improvement in performance I have ever experienced was switch from HDD to SSD. Then there are GPU upgrades when u move up a gen and a tier at the same time but thats it.
I only just built a new machine last week for gamming and editing, I'm glad I bought a 13700k and didn't wait for the 14700k release.
Went 13th gen a few months ago after seeing reports that 14th would essentially just be a refresh, was still on 2nd gen so had to build something anyway. Probably won't be doing another build for 5-10 years again.
1:50 8700k and 9700k are very different CPUs, 9700k doesn't have hyperthreading, 8700k does. In some games 8700k performs much better than 9700k because of that
I'm with I7 4 gen (still!) and thinking of a huge upgrade. But keeping in mind Intel is working for the upcoming Meteor Lake for near future, I'll wait for it! It seems the Meteor will bring bigger changes.
I am still on a 4770. Hard to wait much longer lol
Agreed. It's an infinity spinning wheel. The way is define a target setup and stick with it for a couple years. I've decided to upgrade to what's available today. The 2tb ssd (firecuda 530) is on the way.
So what ur saying is advertising would be better if it was called 13th gen+ 🤔
so im still good with my I9 10900K. and here i was thinking of upgrading to the I9 13900KS
was waiting for 14th gen, as upgrading from an 8th gen. So it's a no brainer with the lower watts
Thank you JZ2C !! Every such video I watch makes me all the more happy I got my R5800X3D back then.
I'm bumping up from a i5-3570K to a i7-14700K. Also, from a GTX 1070, to a 4070 Super. And from a SATA SSD to a Gen 5 M.2.
are you gonna hack NASA system with that thing?
Good to know this, because I still have an unopened 13700K from last year that was supposed to replace my 12700K. 😅
It's been done, it's like going from AMD Ryzen 2700X to 3700X. The improvement to the process that is actually noticeable has been getting a new number in the front before. Nothing wrong with that.
My 12900K should easily keep me happy for another year or two. I plan to eventually just grab the latest/best CPU compatible with my system once the next socket hits the shelves and prices drop. Which to be honest, this news makes me a little less enthusiastic about that plan...
Last few years I've gone from (in the house) a 7700 and a 8700kf to a 12700/13700 and the wife was seeing the 14th gen stuff 'did we just buy you outdated stuff already'. My response was "nope, 14th gens just slightly better 13th, what I have works and works well."
That in the ends the big thing, if it works for you than it works for you and that's all that matters. I'd love to see some more mid tier builds etc from you Jay, maybe showing some interesting things that you can do with AIO's etc to make the case look better, I know that for me personally I'd love to be able to do a custom loop and have everything look exactly how I want, but the price difference between say a Lian Li Galahad 360 and a 'custom' loop is just way to much especially in this day and age of inflation.
Thank you I'm looking on up grading my build from a 4790, but I've been looking at motherboards and I think a 13th gen should be good, don't waste the money on 14th.
I’m on a Intel i7 6700 and it runs games just fine. I run most of my games on high graphic settings at about 80 fps with about 15-20 Fps fluctuation. It’s paired with a evga3090.
I have a 4080 with an intel 12700. Full system powerdraw, playing at 60fps (limited and underclocked my GPU) is 280w total. That is including my 65" TV. With the TV off, I am on about 180w total draw. Ark Ascended, average about 68w GPU draw, super smooth. Will not be upgrading anytime soon
As someone that has a 9 gen, this was a great jump, no need to go for 13 because the price is not going down any time soon.
perfectly happy with my 13700 non-k that will last me for a few years yet until 1851 when and if offers major advantages
This was supposed to be the gen we could upgrade more without needing to buy another MoBo due to new socket. I guess not. I'll keep my 12700k and I'll be forced to buy a new MoBo and new DDR5 in the future...
Thanks for this video ... I have 12e gen so .. 14e is a great upgrade then.. Awesome !
