The i5-14450HX reaches 4.788GHz, likely thanks to a 200MHz boost over the i5-13450HX. This increase is expected to benefit single-threaded workloads, but the impact on multi-threaded workloads may be less noticeable.
Although the increase in gaming performance is not that significant, it is still notable. You can get even higher performance if you pair the i5-14450HX with dual-channel DDR5 RAM and overclock it to the standard 5600 MHz frequency.
An official launch at CES in early January seems likely, along with other Raptor Lake processors for desktop and mobile platforms.
A notable example of the Raptor Lake upgrade, the i5−14450HX appears to offer desktop-level performance in a mobile package. This increases the anticipation for the upcoming launch, especially for gamers and power users who want the latest experience on the go.
