Intel® Core™ i7-14790F

The Intel Core i7-14790F is a desktop processor with a hybrid 16-core layout (8 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 24 threads, built on the Raptor Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Q3 2025. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 5.4 GHz boost. A 36-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.8 MB per core). It supports DDR4, DDR5 memory. It uses the FCLGA1700 socket. Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Deep Learning Boost, AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), AES-NI.

The Intel Core i7-14790F scores 4,152 in single-core performance and 38,541 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,650 for overall performance, 30,864 for productivity performance, 28,671 for creator performance, 44,322 for engineering performance and 22,091 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,409 per core, 1,606 per thread and 593 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,569. Its performance index is 157, so its overall performance is 57% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i7-14790F scores 138,618 in integer math, 96,831 in floating-point math, 453,313 in compression, 26,763 in cryptography, 2,372 in physics simulation, 26,148 in vector SIMD, 183 in the prime sieve and 51,061 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 135% above in integer math, 111% above in floating-point math, 99% above in compression, 133% above in cryptography, 118% above in physics simulation, 69% above in vector SIMD, 173% above in the prime sieve and 125% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i7-14790F has 16 physical cores and runs 24 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 8 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 5.40 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-14790F is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i7 family, uses the Raptor Lake architecture, carries the codename Raptor Lake and is manufactured on a Intel 7 process. It launched in Q3 2025.

The Intel Core i7-14790F has 1.38 MB of L1 cache, 24 MB of L2 cache and 36 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 61.4 MB of cache, or 3.84 MB per core.

The Intel Core i7-14790F has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.4 MB, L2 at 24 MB and L3 at 36 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 59% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i7-14790F supports DDR4, DDR5 memory, uses 2 memory channels, runs memory at up to 5,600 MT/s and delivers up to 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support LPDDR memory.

The Intel Core i7-14790F does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.
