In July of this year, and without practically any type of official announcement, Intel “launched” the processors 14th Generation Intel Core “E” without E-Cores. These are, therefore, variants of the Raptor Lake Refresh family without the high-efficiency cores and only equipped with the high-performance P-Cores:
- Intel Core i9-14901KE
- Intel Core i9-14901E
- Intel Core i9-14901TE
- Intel Core i7-14701E
- Intel Core i7-14701TE
- Intel Core i5-14501E
- Intel Core i5-14501TE
- Intel Core i5-14401E
- Intel Core i5-14401TE
Since then, none of these models have appeared on sale and it does not seem that they will be CPUs for the general public. However, the Intel Core i9-14901KE, Core i7-14701E and Core i5-14401E have appeared in Chinese stores through individual sellers. Their prices, in direct exchange, range from 141 euros for the Core i5 to 385 euros for the Core i9. The Core i7-14701E stays in the middle, with 257 euros.
It must be taken into account that by losing all the E-Cores, these variants only offer 8 and 6 cores in total, with 16 and 12 threads respectively thanks to hyperthreading.
From the images, you can see that they are engineering models that have not been put on sale directly by Intel, so it is still not clear if these CPUs will officially see the light of day at some point.
