The 14700 (nonK) was blocked by PL, i7 14700 -> i7 14700K is 3% performance, my 14700 makes +2970/20000 Geekbench 6 and 34.8-35.1K cinebench r23 multicore, same cache, 200MHz P-Cores and 100MHz E-Cores dont make +20% performance.

Definitely the 14700 non K 65w cpu. I own one in one of my PCโ€™s and itโ€™s been such an amazing cpu. Currently running the latest bios 0x129 bios update with Intel default settings and 6000mhz ram speed. Very stable without a single issue. Runs at 30 degrees when browsing around and 50-60 degrees during gaming. Power draw is also low and itโ€™s able to be air cooled without any thermal throttling. I use a Noctua U12A Chromax cooler. Shame this cpu seems to of gone under the radar as always gets overshadowed by its 14700K counterpart.
