If the rumours are to be believed then yep 14th gen will still be on LGA1700 and will be a drop in replacement, personally i think this will be the case .... i reckon what Intel will do is use this new DLVR to push the clocks as high as possible , so basically they add dlvr to 13th gen get a nice reduction in voltage and power draw for the same clocks then push the voltage and power draw back up along with higher core clocks so will likely end up with same sort of power draw / heat generated as 13th gen but at clocks of over 6Ghz stock with potentially more to come from overclockingIf Z690 boards get 14th gen (which is now rumoured to be the raptor lake refresh and not meteor lake) I'll be very surprised but happy. It's already an odd feeling on Intel for me, going from a 12900k to a 13900k on my Maximus Z690 hero. If rumours are true and 14th gen raptor lake refresh is 6.2-6.5Ghz, 30% reduced power thanks to new voltage regulator, then damn.......
Still don't buy it![]()
