Intel has a whole suite of processors coming in the upcoming 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" on the desktop, but just wait for the next-gen CPUs for gaming laptops. The latest rumours tease that some of the new 14th Gen Core-HX processors will have even more cores and much more cache than the current-gen 13th Gen Core-HX processors inside of high-end gaming and workstation laptops.
It looks like the new Intel 14th Gen Core-HX processors will feature a larger number of cores and cache over the current-gen 13th Gen Core-HX processors inside of gaming and workstation laptops you can buy. But, instead of using the 8P+8E and 6P+0E dies that are used to make the 13th Gen Core-HX processors, Intel will solely use 8P+16P dies across the entire lineup.
We will be seeing changes across the desktop 14th Gen Core CPUs, with minor changes in the core count anticipated -- for the most part -- but the mobile 14th Gen Core CPUs are getting a bigger upgrade. The mid-range mobile CPUs on the way are going to be a wicked upgrade for any on-the-go gamer, offering more CPU cores, at higher frequencies... more Gaming PC performance.
Intel's upcoming Core i5-14650HX processor will feature an 8P+8E configuration, which means we have an additional 2 x Performance cores compared to the existing Core i5-13650HX processor. Under that, we've got the Core i5-14500HX processor which will maintain the same core count as the current Core i5-13500HX processor, but thanks to a silicon change by Intel, it will feature more cache. Intel is lifting the lineup and core/cache configurations with the 14th Gen Core-HX mobile processors.
The upcoming flagship Intel 14th Gen Core-HX mobile processor will feature the same 8P+16E die that the current-gen Core i9 laptop CPU, but will pack higher CPU frequencies and should also include higher memory speed support.
