Among Intel's new 14th generation processors (from bottom to top) are the new Core i5-14450HX, i5-14500HX, i7-14650HX, i7-14700HX and i9-14900HX processors. Speaking of upgrades, the Core i7-14700HX gets double the E-cores compared to the previous generation i7-13700HX. The desktop i7-14700K 14th generation processor also received the same upgrade to its core configuration compared to the previous generation.
All Intel 14th generation laptop processors, such as the i5-14500HX, i9-14900HX and others, are still based on the Raptor Lake architecture. It is a "refreshed" version of the architecture. With this, a decent improvement in core clock speed is observed across the board. Intel 14th generation processors have Thunderbolt 5 and even support Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
HX processors are unlocked for overclocking on some gaming laptops, in addition to DDR5 memory overclocking as well.
