Intel is Desperate: i7-14700K CPU Review, Benchmarks, Gaming, & Power

...to buy some more time *video buffers* xD

Wait. I’m confused. I thought the nomenclature was (gen)14(model)7(design type)70(mobile/unlocked/oc)H/K/KF???

Can you make a video with 14700k overclocking guide with Asus MoBo? Something with best performance / temperature. @GamerNexus

You all Loved Much ❤

280W. My electric space heater uses less power than that.

Testing one of these high end CPUs in Minecraft would be interesting to see 👀

Wait until somebody tells steve about car commercials....



Really though i shop by motherboard not cpu and am4/am5 board configurations suck in matx... so intel wins by default

And this is why I switched from intel to amd. Had the 13700k and it underperformed in games I play with my 4090. Had stability issues all over the place. That was probably the ram, but the 13700k just couldn’t keep up in a lot of games and seemed to bottleneck the 4090. Quite noticeable improvement with the 7800x3d in flight simulator. Thing is a gaming beast. This video just shows how good it is.

What is better in terms of speed and overal smoothness ryzen 5 7600x vs 13600k btw in terms of future proof better to go with am5 but does Intel latency and super quickness in opening programs, browser etc is really that significant than ryzen even ryzen has better single Core performance ?

Epic intro

I get the disingenuous marketing is super lame, but considering that even the Nvidia’s and AMD’s flagship GPU’s are still bottlenecking the entry/mid tier CPU’s… who cares? I’m glad Intel is focusing on GPU’s and not wasting resources on “ooh ahh” more cores no gamer will ever utilize. GPU makers need to step up. In fact, GPU makers have been so greedy, I almost want to thank Intel. Thanks Intel for not upping your clock speeds by 10% while reducing core counts and cache by 20% then reducing your production by 100% then increasing your price by 150% so thank you Intel for your cheesy marketing and stagnation and amazing lack of regression in cost per performance.

meteor lake, arrow lake, always delayed. Now intel is adding AI accelerators because? they don't know what to do with the spare silicon from the new process node?

Doesn't the 14700k has a DDR5 limit at 5600? It's tested with 6000, that might affect the results?

Why waste time saying many word when few word do trick?

One reason to buy the 14-series over the 13 could be increased second hand value due to people always thinking 14 is one more and therefore must be better.

The flipping intro to this. was priceless as all get out.. Reminded me to the intro awhile back for the OVERPOWER computer.... that was made like a kid with a mallet , some white paste (don't eat that kid) and a tinker toy set.

reminds me of the 'waste of sand' 11000s.

AMD is doing a good job!

Should I get the i7-14700k or 7800x3d? I want to game but I am also in college so idk if I need to have the extra cores and how good the 8 cores on the 7800x3d do for some multitasking. I’m really new to pc builds so any advice is appreciated!

intel rulz the end

My Ryzen 7 5800x3d is a good beast for games🤫🤫🤫

That intro 😂

Where code compile !?!? This is info is vital for programmers looking for a new CPU. !!!! BRING IT BACK !!!!

the wattage reallly threw me off from intel.... 280watt for a i7??? yeah hard pass, 7800x3d is a better choice

Love that AMD just keeps getting better

Does anyone have an explanation on why Intel leads so well on FFXIV alone? Do you think they will retain this lead with their gfx overhaul next year?

Performance between 5800x3d and 7800x3d are also pretty close in several test.. just saying lol.

i think that AMD is disperate because intel he knew very clear what he does it doing on the right moment with the new 14th intel series and with Nvidia they work amazing. The AMD is like the most people, the real disperate to believe that they are the best when the reality is far away . Intel with Nvidia work very good but the AMD Processors with Nvidia Cards like example the 3000 and 4000 series have a lot of problems and errors in Games. Also can be ridiculous further...is something normal for the incapacity people who cannot see further as the long of his nose

Stop the Intel hate you shills, they don't melt like AMDon't.. :P

😂 i really like the way you made 14700k such an interesting product and the sarcasm in this review is spot on!😅

you should start benchmarking virtualization in 2023 mate. intelligent users already run their browsing, chats and internet banking in separate virtual machines. yes this includes tons of gamers too.

Wouldn't they just call that rebadging old product as new

Im going from the 11900f to the 14700kf. Some good gains there. 11th gen was a flop, I messed up lol.

even at 1.75x video speed there's no improvement with Intel refresh,
what's disturbing though, I'm seeing 38-39 fps on a game at 1080p running on RTX 4090, I thought cinematic-like 30fps was a thing back in the day when xbox and ps3 were launched?

This is why i stayed with the 13700k and stuck with a gen 4 nvme and gen 5 pcie motherboard, AMD have nailed the pc market this gen, u can use both gen 5 pcie and nv,e without halfing the gen5 pcie gpu lanes INTEL just got lazy, for gamers going from gen4 to gen5 nvme has no improvment in pc boot times nor do games load any faster. Copying files and data on the otherhand Gen5 nvmes are where they shine.

I gotta say Steve, that's what I call content creation! Blessings!

All I have learned from this video is the 7800x3d is my next processor and Intel is still doing Intel things.

Intel's engineers allegedly have lost the keys to their cleanroom. Official response was: "We're checking".

This was but far, the funniest skit I've seen on here. And I want more lol. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Steve so cold!!

This video made me build a new rig with a 7800x3d. Originally was gonna build a gaming pc with 14th Gen i7 but these benchmarks are just... well it speaks for itself. 😅

hahaha I love your attitude towards the new cpu being sold. priceless

Thanks, Steve

Looks like my 7800x3d purchase is just being reaffirmed.

Intel has always been too stingey with cache. Even way back in the Dothan generation in 2003.. It keeps their profit margins high. Except if they can't sell any CPUs, oops ...

So much brand bias in this review.. I for sure give props to amd on the 5800x3D, but otherwise there arent many tasks that have much more than a %4 difference in performance among the top 8 cpus...to argue that the 14700k is "only" %4 better than the 13700k and AMD "beats" out both but yet at a %2-4 difference is incredibly bias. Lots of great information on the charts but this video is much better while audio is muted. 7800x3d,7950x3d,5800x3d is a winner for gaming by a small margin(0-%4) in....13900k,14900k,13700k,14700k is a winner for most that do production work(0-%12)....Power consumption at idle intel wins, full load amd wins.....as of right now nothing has a high enough load to really separate the potential of these cpus other than a timed lengthy work load, and typically Intel has a pretty strong lead in.

This video is hilarious and I’m an Intel / NVIDIA loyalist.

Currently pairing an 8700k with a 3090 and this likely cemented my purchase of the amazing Microcenter 13700k bundle.

I'm stunned and in shock ... 3% improvement is just amazing ... what's the scalper price, I want to pay 3X more to go with my 3% more performance. Because bigger numbers = more, 3 is more than 2 and more power consumption ... more power! is more than less power it's just bigger and more.
