Intel Core i7-14650HX spotted on Geekbench alongside GeForce RTX 4060-powered Lenovo gaming laptop

Gamers on the prowl for high-end gaming laptops will have a choice between Meteor Lake and refreshed Raptor Lake-HX 14th-gen Intel CPUs. The former's performance is all over the place, while the latter has shown a marginal generation-over-generation improvement. Now, yet another SKU has surfaced on Geekbench: the Core i7-14650HX.

It scores 2,716 and 13,858 points in Geekbench 6.1's single and multi-core tests. That is above most Core i7-13650HX samples found on Geekbench. However, there should be some non-marginal multi-core gains due to the increased P-core count, which will become apparent once the laptop launches officially. Lastly, the Core i7-14650HX operates at a base clock of 2.2 GHz and boosts up to 4.987 GHz.

The Core i7-14650HX shows up alongside an unnamed Lenovo ($2,539 on Amazon) gaming laptop—likely a successor to the Legion Y9000P—with a GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card and 16 GB of DDR5 5,000 MT/s memory. Like the Core i7-14700HX, the Core i7-14650HX also increases its CPU core count, but by a smaller amount. It packs 16 cores and 24 threads in an 8P + 8E configuration, while its predecessor, the Core i7-13650HX, features a 6P + 8E layout.
