**The performance of the Intel Core i5-14600 processor** has attracted a lot of attention. This processor is a member of the 14th Gen Core series, and compared to the i5-14600K, although it can't be overclocked, it is** more accessible and cost-effective.
First, let's take a look at how the i5-14600 and i5-14600k compare performance. On the Cinebench R23 platform, the i5-14600K has a single-core performance score of 2082 points and a multi-core performance score of 25216 points, while the i5-14600 has a single-core performance score of 1992 points and a multi-core performance score of 22768 points. Compared to the i5-14600K, the i5-14600's performance is reduced by about 45% and 97%。This is to be expected, as the overall 14th Gen Core series has a smaller performance improvement, around 5% to 10%.
Compared to the previous generation i5-13600K, the i5-14600 has a noticeable performance boost. However, the exact extent of the improvement will have to wait for more detailed reviews to be released. The release of this processor is expected at the CES event in January 2024 and is estimated at around $255,** which is on par with the previous generation.
In terms of power consumption, the AIDA64 FPU stress test showed that the i5-14600 reached 156W of power consumption, and the package temperature reached 81 while running the AIDA64 FPU benchmark. This shows that the i5-14600 is a low-power chip that is more energy-efficient compared to the power consumption of the i5-14600K.
In the Cinebench R23 single-core and multi-core tests, the i5-14600 achieved a score of 1992 and 22768 points, respectively, a difference of about 5 compared to the i14600K9% and 107%。This suggests that the i5-14600 still performs pretty well on some tasks.
Overall, the i5-14600, as a member of the 14th Gen Core series, is slightly inferior in performance to the K version, but it excels in terms of price/performance and power consumption. For those who are not looking for overclocking, this could be a processor worth considering.
