The 14th generation i7 China special edition is released, and it still has explosive performance!

On January 15, in order to comply with relevant export control policies, Intel launched a processor only for mainland China-Intel Core i7-14790F. This updated Core i7-14790F is equipped with 36MB cache and has a maximum frequency of 5.40 GHz, using an 8+8 core design. Compared with the 8+12 cores of the Core i7-14700F processor, it has 4 fewer E cores; the caches of the two are also slightly different, and its secondary cache is larger than the Core i7-14790F processor. 4MB more, but L3 cache is 3MB less than the Core i7-14790F.

The latest GeekBench score information has also been released. The single core of Core i7-14790F and Multi-core performance is still strong, slightly worse than i7-14700F.

Although the processor has reduced 4 energy-efficiency cores (E cores), this makes the overall performance Consumption is easier to balance. For example, when 65W power consumption is allocated between 8 performance cores (P cores) and 4 energy efficiency cores (E cores), now only 8 performance cores need to bear the 65W power consumption, so that the performance of the performance cores can be relatively improved. promote.


Compared with the Core i7-14700F, the performance of the Core i7-14790F is somewhat castrated, so its price should be cheaper. However, according to the latest prices on JD.com, the processor prices of the two i7 models are both 2,899 yuan, which is not the price reduction that users expected.

Intel’s operation is exactly the same as that of NVDIA and AMD. Previously, NVIDIA’s RTX The 4090D also went through a wave of volume reduction without price reduction, and was ridiculed by users as an "inferior card". AMD launched the zodiac-themed RX7900GRE and RX6750GRE - the "Golden Rabbit Edition" - to cater to the Chinese Spring Festival on the eve of the Year of the Rabbit.

From a consumer’s perspective, I will definitely be disappointed with Intel’s pricing strategy Or dissatisfied, and users will consider more cost-effectiveness for processors in this price range. If they have higher needs or budget, they will choose the i9 series. For this updated mainland "special edition" Core i7- 14790F, Xiaolei thinks it is not worth buying by users at all. After all, at the same price, why not choose the Core i7-14700F with better performance?


In general, the behavior of Intel, NVDIA and AMD in reducing volume without reducing prices is like a test of the Chinese market and Chinese consumers by these overseas technology giants. Consumers may turn to other brands with stronger performance or better prices in the same price range, thus affecting the sales of i7-14790F. But if sales are not affected by this, then in the future, these technology giants will have more such behaviors of reducing volume without reducing prices.
