Intel: Without any warning, new 14th Gen desktop processors with powerful P-Cores only released

the Intel CorporationQuietly, without any prior announcement, just noticeably expanded it. 14^the generation to desktop Its processors. In particular, the company has prepared a new series of models that do not contain energy-saving electronic cores at all, but Only high performance P cores.

The flagship of the new series is the Core i9-14901KE, a processor with 8 P-Cores and 16 Threads, with a maximum clock speed of 5.8 GHz. Naturally, being a “K” model, the processor is open to overclocking. The lineup is flanked by several other models, including some Core i7 and Core i5 variants, which retain the same number of P-Cores as the standard models, i.e. 8 cores for the i7 and 6 cores for the i5. Additionally, these processors are also available in the “T” and “F” series of SKUs.

Despite the lack of E-Cores, the new models are based on the Raptor Cove architecture, which means they will be just as high-performance. But there is one important “but” to this issue. These new models are specifically targeting the embedded and commercial markets, which means limited availability for PC builders. In other words, they won’t be found directly on store shelves, as they are only for third-party PC manufacturers.

However, the company is simultaneously preparing a few additional future processors exclusively using P-Cores, namely the Bartlett Lake-S models, which are expected to be released in 2025 with up to 12 P-Cores. Intel apparently wants to better meet the needs of the market, focusing on strong single-core performance and specialized applications and gaming, since many enthusiasts weren’t crazy about the E-cores that closely resemble smartphone SoC architectures.

Below is a detailed table of technical specifications for all new models:
