It's been a little over a year, exactly on September 27, 2022, since Intel introduced its 13th generation of desktop processors, and this October 2023, it introduced the 14th generation.
The 13th and 14th generation Intel Core processors represent significant advances in desktop computer performance. In this article, we'll show you their main differences and similarities in terms of features.
Comparison of the features of 13th and 14th generation Intel Core desktop processors
The 13th generation, led by the Intel Core i9-13900K, was hailed as the world's fastest desktop processor at the time, with up to 24 cores, 32 threads, and clock speeds up to 5.8GHz. This ensured an exceptional experience for gaming, streaming, and recording.
Now comes the 14th generation, headlined by the Intel Core i9-14900K, which continues this tradition of high performance with up to 24 cores, 32 threads, and an impressive frequency of up to 6 GHz.
Another new feature of the 13th generation was the wide range of configuration options offered by Intel 600 chipset motherboards, and the new Intel 700 series appeared, including support for DDR5 and DDR4.
This has been maintained, as 14th Gen Intel Core processors remain compatible with Intel 600 and 700 series chipsets, giving enthusiasts the ability to easily upgrade their systems and enjoy next-generation performance for gaming and content creation.
New for the 14th generation is the introduction of the AI Assist feature in the Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) , which enables one-click AI-guided overclocking on select 14th generation processors. These processors deliver cutting-edge performance for power users, promising a noticeable leap in desktop performance.
Connectivity is also more advanced in the 14th generation. Intel's latest desktop processors offer premium connectivity with built-in support for Wi-Fi 6/6E and Bluetooth® 5.3, plus additional support for innovative Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 wireless technologies.
On the other hand, it has been announced that 14th-generation Intel Core processors will not support Thunderbolt 5, although it was initially thought they would. However, the brand has encouraged us to stay tuned for some details that will be revealed later.
When will these processor models be available?
13th generation Intel Core processors are now available in most stores. In Chile, for example, you can purchase them at the GSMPRO.CL processor store.
As for the 14th Generation Intel Core processors for desktop computers, they've been available in retail stores and through OEM partners since October 17th, primarily in the United States. In Chile, you'll be able to find them very soon through the GSMPRO.CL processor store . So stay tuned.
