Intel is stepping up its game in the tech world with its latest 14th Gen mobile and desktop processor lineup. This includes the new HX-series mobile processors, set to rev up 2024’s gaming laptops. Don’t mix these up with the Core Ultra CPUs for laptops; these new processors are an upgrade from the 13th Gen Raptor Lake mobile versions.

The new mobile CPU has an impressive 24 cores and a max clock speed of 5.8GHz

The star of the show is the Intel Core i9-14900HX, tailored for high-performance gaming laptops. It boasts an impressive 24 cores and can reach speeds up to 5.8GHz. But it’s not just about speed – these chips support up to 192GB of DDR5-5600 memory, along with the latest in connectivity like Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and Thunderbolt 5.

Intel has also beefed up the Core i7 variant. The new Core i7-14700HX now has 20 cores, four more efficiency cores than its predecessor. This upgrade should enhance the performance of multithreaded applications and games.

In the ring with AMD, Intel’s Core i9-14900HX seems to have an edge in most tests compared to AMD’s Ryzen 9 7945HX, although it doesn’t outperform in every game. It’s important to note, however, that Intel hasn’t compared these new chips with its own 13th Gen models. Our previous look at the 14th Gen desktop chips suggested they were more of a refresh than a revolution, especially when stacked against AMD’s top desktop gaming CPUs.

On the desktop front, Intel is also launching its mainstream 14th Gen CPUs. There are 18 new processors in this lineup, including the flagship Core i9-14900. This one also has 24 cores and is designed to be less power-hungry, operating at 65 watts base power. Like its mobile counterparts, these desktop CPUs support up to DDR5-5600 and 192GB of memory and are compatible with existing Intel 600- and 700-series motherboards.
