No E, just the P—Intel quietly launches Raptor Lake Rekked for the embedded market

A close-up image of an Intel Raptor Lake die.

Intel has been using a hybrid design for its Core processors since it launched the 12th Generation in October 2021. Since then, we've had Core i5, i7, and i9 chips with P- and E-cores, plus low-end processors with just a couple of P or E-cores. With very little fanfare, Intel has launched a range of Raptor Lake CPUs (via HardwareLuxx) for the embedded market that have no E-cores in them—they're 100% P-cores.

Topping the new line-up is the Core i9 14901KE, with eight P-cores, a maximum clock of 5.8 GHz, and a TDP of 125 W. Basically, it's a 14900K with the entire E-core block, including its L3 cache, completely disabled.
