Intel has quietly unveiled a new series of processors within its 14th generation of desktop CPUs, which feature the absence of the energy-efficient E-Cores that have been a mandatory attribute of the Raptor Lake family until now.

A total of 9 new models are presented, which received the index “E” in the name, although according to the specification, there are 11 of them in total. All of them are built exclusively on the productive P-cores of the Raptor Cove architecture and, according to Intel, are focused on embedded systems and the commercial segment. The new processors have the usual LGA 1700 design, so it cannot be ruled out that some distributors and retail chains may offer systems assembled on their basis.
As reported by Wccftech, the flagship of the new line is the Core i9-14901KE. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock frequency of 3.8 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.8 GHz. The cache memory size is 36 MB L3 and 16 MB L2. The declared TDP/PL1 is 125 W. Interestingly, this processor supports overclocking, which is not typical for embedded systems.
In addition to the flagship, the line includes Core i7 and Core i5 models with 8 and 6 cores, respectively. Energy-efficient T-versions and options without integrated graphics (F) will also be available for all series.
List of new models:
Core i9-14901KE – 8 cores, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB L3, 125 W;
Core i9-14901E — 8 cores, up to 5.6 GHz, 36 MB L3, 65 W; Core i9-14901TE — 8 cores, up to 5.5 GHz, 36 MB L3, 45 W; Core i7-14701E — 8 cores, up to 5.4 GHz, 33 MB L3, 65 W; Core i7-14701TE — 8 cores, up to 5.2 GHz, 33 MB L3, 45 W; Core i5-14501E — 6 cores, up to 5.2 GHz, 24 MB L3, 65 W; Core i5-14501TE — 6 cores, up to 5.1 GHz, 24 MB L3, 45 W; Core i5-14401E — 6 cores, up to 4.7 GHz, 24 MB L3, 65 W; Core i5-14401TE – 6 cores, up to 4.5 GHz, 24 MB L3, 45 W.

At the moment, the new processors have not appeared on open sale. They are probably not really intended for the mass market, so their appearance in retail is not guaranteed. But Intel is preparing other CPUs with only P-cores. In particular, the release of the Bartlett Lake-S series with 12 productive cores is expected, but already in 2025.
It’s possible that the release of these processors is related to the recently publicized stability issue with the 13th and 14th generation models, as the removal of the E-cores could potentially improve the situation for certain use cases.
