A leaked Geekbench 6 benchmark reveals that Intel's as-of-yet-unannounced Core i7-14700HX will make its way to Acer's Nitro 17 laptop lineup, and that it has the same core count as the Core i7-14700K. We've already seen the 14700HX leak in a different benchmark, but this one is different as it appears to show realistic performance — and it's almost as good as the 14700K.
The 14700K and 14700HX are notable for being the only CPUs in the Raptor Lake Refresh to offer new core count configurations. Compared to last generation's Core i7-13700K, the 14700K and 14700HX include four more E-cores, and in our review those four extra cores made a significant difference in multi-threaded performance.
