Watch This Before Buying the Intel i7 14700K!

I have this new 14700 K but I can't seem to make any sense of it spoiler the results are disappointing or confusing to say the least let me tell you why to begin this i747 K is a mid High to highend representative of Intel's new repic refresh it has 20 cores which consist of eight P cores and 12 e cores giving you a total of 28 threats the P course have a base clock of 4.3 GHz and can boost up to 5.6 GHz the E course on the other hand has a base clock of 2.5 GHz and can go up to 4.3 GHz so who is this 4700k going up against one it's predecessor the 13700 K and two it's closest gaming competitor the 7800 x3d motherboard is this new z790 gaming Wi-Fi 2 for both team blue CPUs and assus TP b650 M plus for the 7800 xgd the GPU of choice is the RTX 4070 take a look at these numbers first game Counter Strike 2 the 14700 K delivers similar performance as a 13700 K as well as a 7800 x3d I thought the 14700 K would win this round but clearly I was wrong well at least for next Esports title valerant the 4700k bits the 3700k with a 10 to 20 FPS Gap but team rate is still pretty strong the 7800 x3d is still a superior gaming CPU okay next AC bajala the 4700k takes a slight lead over the other two CPUs in 1080P but does not do so in 440p well Bala is still a GPU bound game so it's not surprising to see such numbers as most of the work is done by the RTX 4070 and for the next two heavy AAA titles Starfield and cyberp punk 277 let's go with Starfield first Starfield could either still be poorly optimized or relies heavily on the GPU all three setups barely reach 60 FPS on 1080P and less on 1440p and likewise for cyberp Punk the 4700k may have a slight lead over the 3700k and a 7800 extd but since the Gap is so small I would say all three CPUs are on par with each other that said all three CPUs deliver great performance with the RTX 4070 even with retracing ultra turn on okay enough gaming benchmarks let's go to a happier place the 4700k may not have a great showing in gaming but the sh shows it true form and productivity in blender it beats 3700k and sweeps the 7800 x3d with almost 200 points the 4700k also sweeps in vray beating it cousins with more than 3,000 points it's also very nice to see the 4700k outperforming the competition in both City brch R23 as well as a new 2024 version there's a nice Gap in points for the multicore test giving the 4700k a clear win the 4700k runs at a pretty okay temperature during gaml I used an ml360 illusion to cool both Intel CPUs so an average of 66° on the 4700k in cyberpunk 2077 seems pretty reasonable however it does get really really hot when you put it in super loads such as C bench 2024 an average of 83 to 84° C with a Max of 93 that's really really toasty mind you that's a 360 mm aiio but I am not done yet the 14700 K drinks a lot of power for an i7 CPU 184 WS during gameplay and a warping 280 wats in cinebench 2024 and I also saw it reach almost 300 wats in cine bench R23 that's really really a lot of power it's really difficult to place this 4700k but I'm going to want to say it if you own a 3700k don't bother if you are a gamer and own a 7800 x3d don't bother if you want to build a highend gaming PC you can look at from Team blue the CH 600k perhaps 1700k and from Team rate the 5600x 7600 X 5800 X 3D and perhaps this 7800x 3D put the money that you save on the CPU to a better GPU the difference in gameing performance between the 13700 K and 14700 K 70 X 3D and 4700k just does not warrant and upgrade I do not have the pricing for the 4700k but if rumors are true that the 4700k will be of similar price as the 3700k at launch then all the more Gamers don't buy the 4700k now point of note I did not overclock this 4700k it is just Pure Performance out of the box so if you are a Creator and you want to push for the best you may consider this 14700 K the spping scores on blender vray and cine bench show that Intel knows what is doing when it comes to creation and productivity I know that the 7 HX 3D may not be the best representative for productivity but it does show a footing against the other two Intel CPUs however like the gamer if you really own a CPU like the 3700k or even the 7700x I would think twice about getting this 4700k perhaps I should compare the 4700 K against the 7700x that would be a great idea for next video in addition if you plan to get a 4700k you will need to set aside extra money for a new motherboard such as this z790 a gaming Wi-Fi 2 a 360 mm AIO and a bigger power supply to accommodate the massive 300 wat power usage so yes you decide and just something to ponder about is this 4700k meant to be just a simple refresh for Intel is Intel pulling such a stunt for marketing or they're trying out this new system where they just want want to have a small upgrade over their previous generation CPUs and perhaps push for something greater when the next gen actually launches for my I see motherboard some upgrade you can watch my video to see how it's changed but this 4700k refresh is just too small of an upgrade to even warrant to be called an upgrade so I'm not so sure about Intel's Direction I'm not very sure about the entire ecosystem you guys can let me know your thoughts in the comments below so if you like this review make sure to smash the thumbs up as well as the Subscribe buttons and I also recommend this other video here make sure to come back to my channel for perhaps a comparison between the 4700k and the ryzen7 7700x see you in the next video
