Intel Publishes 14th Gen Core Processor Model Numbers Before Official Release

Intel accidentally confirmed the processor model numbers of its entire upcoming 14th Gen Core desktop processor lineup, as part of a PDF describing packaging materials to its channel partners. The list details processor model numbers with their corresponding S-SPEC codes. It covers not just the enthusiast-friendly K and KF brand extensions, but also the regular non-K ones, as well as special variants, such as F (lacks integrated graphics), and T (low power). These could very well be the last Intel Core processors to retain the classic Intel Core nomenclature that's been around since the 2008 Core "Nehalem" processors.

The lineup is led by the Core i9 series, with the i9-14900K and i9-14900KF on the top (the latter lacks integrated graphics). These two will cater to the enthusiast market, and pack overclocking features. The rest of the Core i9 series includes the i9-14900, i9-14900F, and the i9-14900T. These chips are mostly identical to the i9-14900K/KF, but lack unlocked multipliers, and feature lower power limits. Next up is the Core i7 series, with five SKUs of its own—the i7-14700K, i7-14700KF, i7-14700, i7-14700F, and i7-14700T. We know from earlier leaks that the 14th Gen Core i7 processors see a generational core-count increase to 8P+12E, with 33 MB of L3 cache.
