Intel's 14th Gen Core i5-14600K CPU has been benchmarked at both stock and overclocked frequencies within Geekbench 6.

Intel Core i5-14600K CPU Benchmarks Leak Out, Up To 8% Performance Boost With 5.7 GHz Overclock

There has been no shortage of benchmark leaks related to the Intel Core i5-14600K CPU. This 14th Gen chip is going to tackle the mainstream segment in the $300 US range and will compete directly with the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 CPUs.

The specifications of the Intel Core i5-14600K CPU are straightforward. You will be getting a total of 6 P-Cores (12 threads) and 8 E-Cores (8 Threads) for a total of 14 cores and 20 threads. The cores are once again based on the same 10ESF process node and utilize the Raptor Cove & Gracemont core architecture. The chip provides 24 MB of L3 cache and 20 MB of L2 cache. The CPU runs at a base clock speed of 3.5 GHz and boosts up to 5.3 GHz (across a single core).

Now the latest benchmarks have been added to the Geekbench 6 database and show us what we can expect from the stock and overclocked performance of the CPU. The first set of benchmarks are running at stock using an ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-PLUS WIFI Motherboard, DDR5-5200 memory (32 GB capacity) and the result is a single-core score of 2819 points and 16,707 multi-core points. This marks a 6% increase in single-core and 13% increase in multi-core performance over the i5-13600K.
