Intel introduced a new line of 14th generation Core processors without power-efficient cores designed for embedded systems. These chips, which have only performance cores, are available in various configurations and powers.
Intel Core Processors
New family of chips
Soon after information appeared about Intel processors for the LGA-1700 socket without energy-efficient cores, the company officially announced their release. However, this happened within the current 14th generation and not as previously expected.
Development Background
Intel's plans for the LGA-1700 socket, including the Bartlett Lake-S family of processors, were recently leaked. It was assumed that these chips would have a hybrid Alder Lake / Raptor Lake architecture with performance (P) and energy-efficient (E) cores, as well as a completely new die with only P-cores. It turned out that the latter concept was already implemented on the basis of Raptor Lake.
Characteristics of new models
Intel has announced the specifications of the new series of Core processors. Their names are similar to the existing ones, but have an additional number "1" at the end and the letter "E". The lineup includes three Core i9, two Core i7 and four Core i5 models:
- Core i9-14901KE
- Core i9-14901E
- Core i9-14901TE
- Core i7-14701E
- Core i7-14701TE
- Core i5-14501E
- Core i5-14501TE
- Core i5-14401E
- Core i5-14401TE
Purpose
According to Intel, these new processors are designed for embedded systems and are not intended for the mass consumer. You should not count on their use in gaming computers. It's important to note that KE models like the Core i9-14901KE keep the TDP at 125W.
Technical features
The flagship model i9-14901KE has an increased base clock frequency, 600 MHz higher than its predecessors - 3.8 GHz, but has a lower maximum frequency - 5.8 GHz instead of 6.0 GHz. Also presented are F-variants without integrated graphics and T-models with a TDP of 45 W instead of the standard 35 W for custom chips. Intel reports that the new processors are already in production.

Interestingly, Intel released processors without E-cores. Maybe this is a sign that they are reconsidering their hybrid architecture strategy? 🤔
Hans
Natasha, I don’t think this is a change in strategy. Rather, they are simply expanding the line for specific tasks. Embedded systems often do not need E-cores.
Sophie
I think this is a great move! Fewer cores means less heat. For embedded systems this is crucial. Hans, do you think they will be cheaper than the regular versions? 💰
Hans
Sophie, it is quite possible that the price will be lower. But given that these are for embedded systems, we are unlikely to see them on sale. I wonder how this will affect performance in single threaded tasks 🧐
Giovanni
Guys, have you noticed that the Core i9-14901KE has a base frequency that is 600 MHz higher than the regular version? This is amazing for a constant load! 😮
Viktor
Ugh, these endless new models again. Why complicate things? Previously, there was one processor for all occasions, and that was enough. And now every month there is a new letter in the name. They only create confusion.
Natasha
Victor, times are changing! 😄 Specialization is the future. Giovanni, yes, I noticed about the frequency. I wonder how this will affect energy consumption in the long run 🔋
Amelie
And I'm wondering why Intel doesn't release such processors for ordinary users? I’m sure many would appreciate the version without E-cores for simple tasks and office work. Less energy consumption, lower price... 💼💡

Das ist ganz klar eine weiter möglichkeit von Intel defekte CPUs weiterzuverwenden. In manchen fällen kann es vorkommen das z.b. die E-Cores defekt sind und die P-core funktionieren. Das könnte unteranderen auch der grund sein warum diese Prozessoren nur für eingebettete Systeme gedacht sind, Intel hat schlicht nicht die Massenproduktion für diese Model es handelt sich ja nur um "schrott cpus" die sonst entsorgt werden müssten.
