We’re more than ready for the launch of the Intel 14th gen CPUs, as the release date closes in – but does Intel 14th gen have integrated graphics? Before you go ahead and find where to buy Intel 14th gen, this is an important question to ask, especially if you’ve not got a dedicated graphics card right now.
There are a few things to explain to help you figure out if the new Intel 14th-generation CPUs will have integrated graphics. Sticking to integrated graphics is great if you don’t need high-end performance for gaming, and gives you a cushion in case your GPU does begin to fail.
If you’re itching to find out just how well the 14900K and 14600K perform, check out our review on them, so you can make a proper decision about getting a 14th-generation CPU.
Does Intel 14th gen have integrated graphics?
Yes, we know the Intel 14th gen has integrated graphics. Intel officially added specifications to its website, and we’re happy to see the inclusion of an iGPU. In addition, as we found out in our Intel 14th gen price research, some people in Indonesia have gotten their hands on the likes of the i7-14700K.
The ‘K’ suffix being alone is the important part, as it will mean the CPU does indeed have integrated graphics. If the model ends with an ‘F’ in any way, then this means that discrete graphics are required due to the lack of integrated graphics.
Do all Intel 14th-generation CPUs have integrated graphics?
So, we’ve alluded to it already, but will every single Intel 14th-generation CPU have integrated graphics? That’s a no. As we’ve seen in previous generations, such as the 13th gen, certain models will, and others won’t. These is easy to spot once you’ve gotten used to the Intel product suffixes, which go as follows:
- K: High performance & unlocked for overclocking
- F: Requires discrete graphics (no integrated graphics, requires a GPU)
- S: Special edition
- T: Power-optimized
- X/XE: Highest performance possible & unlocked for overclocking
To put it simply, any Intel 14 gen CPU that you come across which includes an ‘F’ at the end of the model name does not have integrated graphics. K and F are the most common you’ll come across. Leaks reported on by the likes of Forbes have revealed both K and KF models are starting to be listed on retailer’s websites, the latter being high-performance unlocked CPUs that require discrete graphics.
Intel 14th gen integrated graphics FAQs
Can I use Intel 14th gen without a graphics card?
You will be able to use Intel 14 gen CPUs without a graphics card as long as your processor has integrated graphics. That means avoiding any models with the ‘F’ suffix which indicates that discrete graphics are required.
What integrated graphics do Intel 14th gen CPUs have?
Official specs show us that the processor graphics are still indeed Intel UHD Graphics 770. The performance suggested that the iGPU on-board Intel 14th gen processors have seen a performance boost compared to the 13th gen models though, thanks to their work with Intel Arc GPUs.
