They're called 14900, 14700, etc. But truly, they're just 13th Gen processors with slightly different names.

The 14700 actually got some new E cores, which actually makes a difference (12 vs the old 8, making a total of 28 instead of 24 cores).

But the 14600 and 14900 are exactly identical to their predecessors, at a higher price.

The only major difference so far is that these chips by default don't have the typical power limit set, so they can actually achieve about +2-3% more performance in gaming at +100% more power draw.

GN famously called the 11700K a "waste of perfectly fine sand", but that description fits the 14600 and 14900 even better.
