Intel 14500 Core i5 14th Gen Desktop Processor

The Intel Core i5-14500 is a 14th generation desktop processor built on Intel's performance hybrid architecture, combining six Performance-cores (P-cores) with eight Efficient-cores (E-cores) for a total of 14 cores and 20 threads. This design allows the processor to intelligently route demanding tasks to the high-performance P-cores while offloading background and lighter tasks to the efficiency-focused E-cores, resulting in responsive multitasking and smooth performance across a range of workloads including gaming, photo and video editing, and everyday productivity.

With a maximum turbo frequency of up to 5.0 GHz and 20MB of cache, the i5-14500 delivers competitive single-threaded and multi-threaded performance in its class. It supports both PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 for high-speed storage and graphics connectivity, and offers the flexibility of DDR4 or DDR5 memory support depending on your motherboard. Compatible with Intel 700-series chipset motherboards out of the box and 600-series boards with a BIOS update, it fits into a wide range of existing and new builds. The included Intel Laminar RM1 cooler provides a ready-to-use thermal solution at a 65W base power rating.
