If you're in the market for a new Intel CPU, then Newegg has just extended this excellent deal on the Intel Core i5-14600K.Not only is the CPU listed at its best price today, but Newegg has also thrown in a 1TB TeamGroup SSD worth $64.99.
While it's not an M2 worthy of installing your operating system on, it could make a nifty backup drive, external SSD, or even just a spare to throw in a drawer; it is free after all.
To redeem this offer, you must use promo code SSETA633 before checking out; otherwise, the Core i5-14600K is $199. We've reviewed the Intel Core i5-14600 K, and we also have an extensive list of CPU recommendations in our CPU hierarchy that gives you an excellent idea of this chip's competitive positioning.
The Intel Core i5-14600K has fourteen cores and a total of twenty threads. Out of those cores, six of them are dedicated performance cores while the other eight are designated as efficiency cores. The base speed of the efficiency cores is 2.6GHz, topping out at 4GHz when boosted. The performance cores, however, have a 3.5GHz base speed and boost up to 5.3GHz.
This processor supports up to 192GB of DDR5-5600 RAM via two memory channels. It also supports both PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 devices. You don't need a graphics card to get off the ground with this processor, as it comes with Intel UHD Graphics 770 integrated by default. What does that mean in terms of performance? Take a look at our extensive testing below.
As you can see, the 14600K (usually priced at around $230) beats some far more expensive CPUs across our benchmarks, and sits comfortably at the top of the value charts in terms of FPS/$. And remember, that's at MSRP, so the true value at this price is even higher. Multi-threaded performance exceeds that of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, and single-threaded performance even beats out some Ryzen 9 models.
