Intel's new 14th-gen CPUs are reheated 13th-gen CPUs which were reheated 12th-gen CPUs

There's new Intel desktop CPUs. The 14th-gen series chips are updates of the 13th-gen chips, literally codenamed Raptor Lake Refresh, "with Intel tapping further refinements in manufacturing and binning in order to squeeze out a little more performance from the silicon". The flagship units are the i9-14900KF and i9-14900K (the KF doesn't have integrated graphics, the K does) that pack 32 cores (8P & 16E) and come from the factory with a turbo boost of up to 6GHz on the P-cores. If you need balls to wall single threaded performance without any regard to power efficiency or thermals, this is the CPU for you.
