Intel Core i7-14700 Processor
20 Cores | 28 Threads | Max. Boost Clock Up To 5.4 GHz | Intel LGA1700 Socket
The all-rounder i7 that works with or without a graphics card. The Core i7-14700 packs 20 cores (8 P-cores plus 12 E-cores), 28 threads and a 5.4GHz max turbo, plus Intel UHD Graphics 770 built in.
That iGPU is the secret weapon. You can build the PC now and add a graphics card later, run a powerful workstation on integrated graphics alone, or use Quick Sync to speed up video exports in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
With 33MB of Smart Cache and a 65W base power rating, it's a quietly brilliant chip for productivity, streaming and gaming. Pair it with a B760 board and DDR5 for the best balance of price and performance.
Best for: Productivity and office workstations, content creation with Quick Sync, and gaming builds that might add a GPU later.
Platform and compatibility
It uses the Intel LGA1700 socket and works with H610, B660, B760, H670, Z690, H770 or Z790 motherboards. LGA1700 supports both DDR4 and DDR5 boards, so you can build cheap now or go all-in on DDR5.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the i7-14700 without a graphics card?

Which motherboard is compatible?
Any LGA1700 board: H610, B660, B760, Z690 or Z790. 600-series boards may need a BIOS update for 13th and 14th Gen chips. Pick a DDR4 or a DDR5 board. They aren't interchangeable.
What RAM should I use?
