IFA technically kicks off today in Berlin, but it seems like Lenovo may have won the thing outright. I’ve given the company plenty of credit in the past for its willingness to try new things in this oft-staid world of consumer electronics, and it’s really come out of the gates swinging.
Intel i7 14700K could offer a 20% performance boost, but at a cost
14.08.2023 - 10:33 / pcgamesn.com
A Chinese tech reviewer known as “T小白” bagged themself an early glimpse of an upcoming Intel Raptor Lake Refresh CPU. While they playfully dubbed the processor in question a ‘13700KS’ to avoid unwanted attention, the specs are consistent with those of the hotly anticipated Intel Core i7 14700K, leading to widespread speculation that the reviewer’s somehow got their hands on a 14th Gen CPU.
Despite not referencing the i7 14700K by name, the details speak for themselves. In a since-deleted video on Chinese video-sharing site, Bilibili, T小白 showed a processor with 20 cores, with the information shared by 9550pro on Twitter. As the Core i7 14700K is the only Raptor Lake Refresh SKU to offer an increased core count, boasting 20 compared to its predecessor’s 16, it seems likely that the model in the video is an i7 14700K, not a 13700KS as suggested.
T小白 put the i7 14700K through its paces with a rigorous all-core AIDA64 test, where it demonstrated a 4.2% to 4.5% single-core performance boost with CPU-Z and Cinebench R23, and a 14.3% to 20.7% boost for multi-core workloads. When the reviewer deactivated four Efficient cores to match the i7 13700K’s core count, the performance was nearly identical, suggesting the vast majority of gains come from the added cores.
There is a downside to these extra cores and improved performance, however. The i7 14700K’s power draw has increased from the i7 13700Ks’ 232W to 260W. If you plan to pair that with a power-hungry pixel pusher, you might be in need of a new PSU. Check out our list of the best power supply units if you’re looking to upgrade. Don’t forget: the Intel Core i7 14700K is rumored to release in September.

Chandrayaan-3: After successful deboosting, Vikram Lander enters the lower orbit of the Moon; Know the latest update
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) completed a major maneuver for the Chandrayaan-3 mission on Friday when it performed Vikram Lander's first deboosting operation to enter a lower orbit around the Moon. This means now the Lander Module (LM) is much closer to the lunar surface than it was before. ISRO also shared a set of visuals of the Moon captured by the camera sensors on the LM which were taken a day prior. In these breathtaking photos, we can see a close-up view of the Moon with the Earth in the background. Now, the mission is entering its final legs. A second deboosting is scheduled for August 20, and then the eventual landing will take place on August 23.
