Save big on Intel 14th Gen CPUs at Newegg
Sweet promo discounts on the selected Core i9, Core i7, and Core i5 Raptor Lake Refresh SKUs.
Newegg offers excellent discounts on Intel's 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh processors. You can save up to $25 more when using the FTT3255 promotional code at checkout. Every dollar saved is money earned, which you can invest in other components.
Which CPU to choose largely depends on your requirements and budget. The Core i9-14900K and Core i9-14700K are among the best CPUs for gaming and work. If you're looking for a more budget option, the Core i5-14600K is also on sale. If you don't care for integrated graphics and plan on using a discrete graphics card, there are discounts on the KF counterparts as well. Nonetheless, it is always good to have integrated graphics, at the very least, for diagnostic purposes.

Newegg's probably getting rid of Raptor Lake Refresh stock to make way for Intel's looming Core Ultra 200 (codenamed Arrow Lake) processors. Raptor Lake Refresh is the last generation of CPUs on the LGA1700 platform. So, it may not make sense to pull the trigger on a Raptor Lake Refresh chip now unless you don't plan to jump on the Arrow Lake train or need a significant upgrade for an already-owned LGA1700 platform.
Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs previously suffered crashing and instability due to a voltage bug. Still, Intel has since released a microcode update with guidance on which settings to use to solve the issues. Hence, updating your motherboard's BIOS to the latest version is highly recommended. Additionally, Intel is offering two years above the three-year default warranty on these CPUs, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about for now.
With the crashing fiasco aside, Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs remain a strong option for consumers and gamers.

punkncat Keep in mind with any of these that you will want to be sure your motherboard has the latest revised BIOS/Firmware available to keep that V Min issue from burning these up.Reply -

YSCCC The price drop don't seems like a big discount... and considering how the next gen should supposedly be faster and not needing to worry the degradation (if trusting Intel this time around)... one would likely either go wait next gen or go AMD at this point of timeReply -
watzupken At this point, I would recommend not take the risk and wait for Arrow Lake (if one must get an Intel desktop CPU). Moreover, the higher end Raptor Lake likely also lost performance as a result of all these BIOS updates limiting power draw.Reply -
dalek1234 14th gen is a risky buy, and we don't know if Arrow Lake will have the same issues. Sure, Intel said that 13th/14th gen problems have not been carried over to Arrow Lake, but can you trust Intel these days?Reply
Intel lied a s recently as about a week ago, when they said that the latest microcode mitigations for 13th/14th gen will solve the issue, and do so without affecting performance, only to have somebody test that fix few days later and show that there is in fact loss of performance.
Intel simply can't be trusted. I think that most people will just upgrade to AMD instead, or wait for a few months to see if Arrow Lake CPUs burn up like 13th/14th gen do, before deciding what CPU to upgrade to.
In UK, Amazon's top-10 selling CPUs are all AMD. In US, 13/14th gen occupies #10 spot; more people there are buying 12th gen over 13/14 when it comes to Intel. There is not much confidence in Intel these days. -
OneMoreUser "Attractive prices"!Reply
This "article" about the offerings, is more a ad in disguise. Shame on you TH.
Calling those chips 14th gen is Intel's marketing BS. More than half of those generations are more face lifts at best, so on that ground I think media needs to stop using those marketing BS terms about the Intel chips.
And as for buying one of those chips, why would anyone with a little current knowledge buy a Intel CPU in the first place. Clearly those factory overclocked products can't really be trusted. -
joeer77 14th gen is FinFET chip. Arrow lake will be gate all around chip design. I would save your money for Arrow Lake if you are in the market. They come out in a couple weeks. I have 13th gen and it's awesome. No need to upgrade for awhile.Reply -
TheHerald Nice deals, hope they cross over the atlantic, especially with the new mitigation patches that reduced power draw by a lot, these are insanely good deals. 14 cores for the price of...6.Reply -
Ogotai sorry, still not worth it. no one i know that is looking to upgrade, is getting intel right now. they are going with amd for their upgrade cycle this time.Reply
