The Intel Core i5-14600K is the latest Intel processor released as part of the 14th generation. We've already reviewed the top-of-the-line Core i9-14900K, and this time we're looking at one of the best mid-range processors available right now, the 14th Gen Intel Core i5-14600K. We directly compare the i5-14600K with the i7-13700KF from the 13th generation lineup, which is also a viable choice right now. Without further ado, let's dive into the i5-14600K benchmarks.
i5 14600K vs 13700K Benchmarks – Tested in 15 Games and Applications
Intel Core 13th and 14th generation processors have a hybrid performance architecture consisting of E-cores focused on efficiency and P-cores focused on performance.

Before we look at the benchmark results, we've listed the components in our test bench here:
Comparing the 14th generation Core i5 and the 13th generation Core i7 in the Cinebench R23 Multi-Core benchmark, we can see that the Core i7 is better. With a score of 30,015 points, the i7-13700KF wins here and any associated workloads that take advantage of multiple threads will benefit from the i7 over the i5. But the i5-14600K doesn't get bad results at all.
