Intel® Core™ i7-14700 Tray | 20 Cores · 28 Threads · Up to 5.4 GHz · UHD 770

The i7-14700 is Intel's 14th-gen Raptor Lake i7 for LGA 1700 in the 65 W power class: 8 Performance-cores and 12 Efficient-cores give 20 cores and 28 threads, boosting to 5.4 GHz with 33 MB Intel Smart Cache and 28 MB of L2. It is rated at 65 W base / 219 W maximum turbo, supports DDR5-5600 or DDR4-3200 up to 192 GB, and provides 20 PCIe 5.0 / 4.0 lanes. Unlike the F models it keeps Intel UHD Graphics 770, so the motherboard's display outputs work without a graphics card. Tray means the bare processor with no Intel box cooler.

Eight Fast P-cores Up to 5.4 GHz

Games lean on the eight Performance-cores, which reach 5.3 GHz (5.4 GHz with Turbo Boost Max 3.0). Intel Thread Director steers background work onto the twelve E-cores so the game threads keep the fast cores.

Rendering, Coding & Streaming

28 Threads plus Quick Sync

Twenty cores and 28 threads handle compiles, renders and multitasking, while UHD Graphics 770 adds Intel Quick Sync Video for hardware video encode and decode, useful in editing apps even when a discrete GPU is installed.

Genuine i7-14700: SRN40 Marking

The store's photo of the processor itself: the heat spreader is laser-marked Intel Core i7 / i7-14700 with spec code SRN40. The 45.0 × 37.5 mm LGA 1700 package fits Intel 600- and 700-series boards. Tray units ship as the bare CPU, so budget a cooler sized for up to 219 W turbo power.

❓ Hardware Q&A & AHW Store Policies

Technical configurations, cooler recommendations, warranty, installments, and shipping

Can I use it without a graphics card?
Yes. The i7-14700 has Intel UHD Graphics 770, so you can plug a monitor into the motherboard's HDMI or DisplayPort output. Intel lists support for up to 4 displays. For serious gaming you will still want a discrete graphics card.
How is it different from the i7-14700K?
Both have 20 cores, 28 threads and 33 MB cache. The K model boosts to 5.6 GHz instead of 5.4 GHz, is rated at 125 W base / 253 W turbo instead of 65 W / 219 W, and is unlocked for overclocking. The i7-14700 is not unlocked.
What cooler does it need?
The Tray version comes with no cooler. Although base power is 65 W, Intel rates maximum turbo power at 219 W, so a dual-tower air cooler or a 240 mm or larger liquid cooler lets it hold its boost clocks.
Can I use DDR4 memory?
Yes. Intel lists support for DDR5-5600 and DDR4-3200. Choose a motherboard built for the memory type you want; a board accepts one type, not both.
Which motherboards are compatible?
LGA 1700 boards with Intel 600- or 700-series chipsets, such as H610, B660, B760, Z690 and Z790. Older 600-series boards may need a BIOS update for 14th-gen processors.
What warranty does this processor carry?
It is covered by the authorized distributor warranty with local technical support. Details in our Warranty Policy ↗.
What payment and installment options are available?
We accept Cash on Delivery (COD) across Egypt, Visa and Mastercard cards, Meeza and mobile wallets, 0% interest 6-month installments with our partner banks, and longer installment plans through ValU, Forsa, Halan, Seven, Klivvr and mylo. See our Payment & Installments Guide ↗.
How fast is shipping and delivery across Egypt?
Orders are delivered within 2 to 7 business days across all Egyptian governorates in secure armored packaging (with pickup available from our 6th of October headquarters). See our Shipping Policy ↗.
