Preamble:
With the advent of AMD Ryzen series processors in recent years, toothpaste factory Intel will squeeze out more sincere toothpaste every year. In the latest generation, the 14th generation Core seems to be a bit of a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice due to the process process, compared to the 13th generation Core, the frequency has only been improved, and there is no other improvement.
Compared with the i5 13600KF, the new generation of i5 performance cores and energy efficiency cores are increased by 0.2GHz and 0.1GHz respectively, but the prices of the two are almost the same. Today, Alu will test the performance difference between the two.
Introduction to the test platform:
The motherboard used for the test platform is the ASUS ROG STRIX Z790 A GAMING WIFI S blowing snow, which can be said to be a good car for the 14th generation Core.
ATX version, it has a good expandability, black PCB and white + silver metal armor, guard plate, this color combination looks quite visually impactful.
The shiny big eyes also come with RGB, and there are probably a lot of people who choose ROG because of it, haha.
The little blowing snow Ji of the CPU base protective cover is still quite cute, and the macho man loves it the most.
The number of power supply phases is configured as 16+1+2 phases, and the power supply limit of each phase can reach 70A, with the blessing of high-quality alloy inductors + Japanese MIL solid-state capacitors + DrMos (MP86670), it is not a problem to meet the 14th generation flagship processor i9 14900KS.
It is not difficult to see that the metal heat sink area of the CPU power supply part is still very matched, which can completely cover the inductor and moseft tube.
Compared with the traditional power supply interface, the ProCool high-intensity power supply interface has a metal layer wrapped outside, and a special solid header is used, which is better used to ensure fuller contact with the CPU power supply line, reduce the impedance, and effectively prevent interface failures such as hot melt and short circuit.
The motherboard offers four DDR5 slots for up to 192GB of dual-channel RAM, the addition of DIMM Flex memory, and ASUS AEMP II technology that allows memory frequencies up to 8000MHz+.
It is worth mentioning that this front USB-C port is not only fast enough to be up to 20Gbps, but also supports PD 30W fast charging, so you don't need to configure a mobile phone fast charger in front of the computer in the future.
Of course, there is also the easy-to-detach key of the graphics card, with which you no longer have to reach the PCIE buckle when removing the ultra-thick graphics card, and you can easily pull out the graphics card with a simple press.
The M.2 metal heatsink is covered with five M.2 ports, all of which support the PCIe 4.0x4 protocol and have quick-release clips.
It can be seen that the thickness of the M.2 heatsink is still considerable, which can fully meet the passive heat dissipation requirements of M.2 SSDs.
In terms of sound card configuration, it uses ALC4080 and Svitech amplifiers to support two-way AI noise reduction. Equipped with audio cables, audio covers, and high-quality liquid audio capacitors, it can be described as a luxurious lineup.
The rear I/O ports are configured as follows: 4*USB 2.0, 4*USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A (5Gbps), 2*USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A (10Gbps), 1*USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C (10Gbps), 1*USB 3.2 Gen2×2 Type-C (20Gbps), 1 x 2.5G LAN, 2 x Wi-Fi 7 antenna ports, 2 x 3.5mm audio ports (, 1 SPDIF with 1 HDMI 2.1 and 1 DP1.4 interface. The two small buttons in the lower left corner are the no CPU refresh BIOS function and the CMOS restore button.
The test platform used Kingston Renegade Renegade FURY 32GB (16G×2) set DDR5 7600MHz with on-chip ECC and XMP3.0 support. Equipped with a high-efficiency aluminum heat sink, it can maximize the heat removal of memory particles. In terms of memory compatibility, Kingston has been certified by the world's leading motherboard manufacturers and has undergone rigorous testing to bring users a more stable experience.
Performance Testing:
先来看CPU-Z，i5 14600KF单核核多核均领先i5 13600KF约4%左右。
h.264转码,i5 14600KF成绩领先i5 13600KF约5%左右。
VRAY编码码,i5 14600KF成绩领先i5 13600KF约3.6%左右。
CINBENRCH R23 Rendering Test i5 14600KF multi-core is about 4.5% ahead of i5 13600KF, and single-core score is about 3.3% ahead.
In the 3DM CPU test, the single-threaded i5 14600KF multi-core core and single-core are about 3.5% ahead of the i5 13600KF.
In the 3DM SW test, the scores of the two are almost the same, and the difference of 11 points can be said to be the error level.
The game test you are most concerned about,Far Cry 6,Although the average frame rate difference between the two is 3 frames,But the maximum frame rate of i5 14600KF is 18 frames higher than that of i5 13600KF,Sure enough, high frequency is the last word!
Cyberpunk 2077 The average frame rate of the two is almost the same, and the 1 frame difference can be said to be an error.
Summary:
I have to sigh that the toothpaste factory Intel that we are familiar with is back, but this time it should still be limited by the 10nm process, it is estimated that the next generation of Core will use TSMC's improved version of the 3nm process, and then the toothpaste will be squeezed out more, let's wait and see. At present, the price difference between i5 13600KF and i5 14600KF is 50, which is not too much, and it is recommended to buy new instead of old. Thank you for reading, welcome to give tips and likes.
