Intel Core i5-14500 14-Core LGA1700 Processor - 5GHz, 65W
The Intel Core i5-14500 14-Core LGA1700 Processor is a 14th-generation desktop CPU built for home office users, gamers, and content creators who need capable multi-threaded performance without stepping up to a high-end platform. Its Hybrid Core Architecture pairs six Performance-cores with eight Efficient-cores so demanding applications run at full speed while background tasks stay out of the way.
Why this product
14 cores, 20 threads for heavy multitasking
Six Performance-cores handle foreground workloads up to 5.00 GHz, while eight Efficient-cores absorb background tasks at up to 3.70 GHz — keeping the system responsive under mixed loads.
Intel Thread Director manages workload routing
The on-chip Thread Director dynamically assigns threads to the right core type at the right time, so the operating system does not have to guess where to schedule work.
PCIe 5.0 support for current-generation expansion
It supports PCI Express 5.0, keeping the platform ready for the latest storage and graphics cards without a board swap.
DDR5 and DDR4 memory compatibility
It accepts either DDR5 at 4800 MT/s or DDR4 at 3200 MT/s, giving builders flexibility to reuse existing RAM or adopt the newer standard.
Built-in Intel UHD Graphics 770
The integrated GPU outputs video over HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, and eDP 1.4b, so a discrete graphics card is not required for display output or light graphics work.
65 W base power fits mainstream cooling
A 65 W Processor Base Power means it operates within the thermal envelope of a standard air cooler, though peak turbo workloads can draw up to 154 W.

- EAN5032037279178
- Fits motherboards with the LGA 1700 socket — the same socket used by 12th and 13th generation Intel Core desktop processors.
- Compatible with DDR5 memory up to 4800 MT/s and DDR4 memory up to 3200 MT/s in dual-channel configuration (board dependent).
- Supports ECC memory, making it suitable for workstation builds that require error-correcting RAM.
- PCIe 5.0 lanes allow it to pair with current-generation GPUs and NVMe SSDs at full bandwidth.
- Maximum Turbo Power reaches 154 W; motherboards with lower power delivery limits may cap sustained turbo performance — check your board's PL2 or power limit settings.
- Not compatible with AMD AM4, AM5, or any Intel socket other than LGA 1700.
Best for
- Productivity and office workloads — 20 threads and 24 MB of cache handle spreadsheets, video calls, and browser-heavy workflows without bottlenecking.
- Mid-range gaming builds — the 5.00 GHz single-core turbo and Hybrid Core Architecture deliver the per-core speed that game engines rely on.
- Content creation on a budget — video encoding, photo editing, and light 3D work all benefit from the 14-core count and large cache without requiring an enthusiast chip.
- Workstation builds requiring ECC memory — ECC support is confirmed, which suits CAD, data analysis, or any role where memory integrity matters.
- Builders reusing DDR4 RAM — dual DDR4/DDR5 compatibility means existing memory can carry over to a new LGA 1700 build.
Trade-offs
- Extreme overclocking — the i5-14500 is not a K-series processor, so its multiplier is locked and it does not support unlocked overclocking.
- Very power-constrained small-form-factor cases — sustained turbo operation draws up to 154 W, which may exceed the thermal headroom of compact chassis with limited airflow.
- Buyers needing more than 192 GB of RAM — the platform is capped at 192 GB maximum memory, which rules out memory-heavy server or HPC configurations.
- Existing Intel platforms other than LGA 1700 — it will not drop into older or newer Intel sockets without a motherboard replacement.
Power up your productivity, gaming, and content creation with the Intel Core i5-14500 2.6 GHz 14-Core LGA 1700 Processor. Built with the Intel 7 process, this 14th generation desktop processor delivers improved power efficiency while fitting the LGA 1700 socket. Featuring an optimized Hybrid Core Architecture, the Core i5-14500 powers applications and games with six 2.6 GHz Performance-cores while the eight low-voltage Efficient-cores handle background tasks for smooth multitasking. The built-in Intel Thread Director ensures that the two work seamlessly together by dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the right core at the right time. With 24MB of cache and a 5 GHz Turbo Boost frequency, this processor is made to handle a variety of workloads. The Core i5-14500 also supports PCI Express 5.0 and up to 192GB of dual-channel DDR5 ECC memory at 4800 MHz.
