Intel Alder Lake 14th Gen Processor
The 14th Gen Intel processors bring improvements over previous generations, offering enhanced performance through the use of improved Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores). These cores are optimised to deliver impressive results in both single and lightly-threaded tasks, as well as highly-threaded workloads. This optimisation allows gamers, creators, and professionals to unlock the full potential of their systems and elevate their experiences.
To provide you with a glimpse of the improvements offered by the 14th Gen Intel processors compared to the 13th Gen, the table below showcases some PassMark CPU Benchmarks. Higher numbers in the benchmarks indicate better overall performance, helping you understand the notable performance gains delivered by the 14th Gen processors.
14th Gen Processor | Core i5 14500 | Core i7 14700 | Core i9 14900 |
---|---|---|---|
PassMark score | 32,483 | 47,650 | 52,447 |
13th Gen Processor | Core i5 13400 | Core i7 13700 | Core i9 13900 |
---|---|---|---|
PassMark score | 24,986 | 37,893 | 48,024 |
The figures above are as of March 2024. They do change over time.
These benchmarks demonstrate the improved performance capabilities of the 14th Gen processors, highlighting their ability to handle a wide range of tasks with increased efficiency and power. Whether you are a gamer, content creator, or professional user, the 14th Gen Intel processors aim to deliver a significant boost in performance and productivity.
Total Silence!
At Quiet PC, one thing that truly bothers us is the abundance of marketing jargon claiming products to be “silent” or even “ultra-silent,” while in reality, they contain moving parts that inevitably produce noise. We firmly believe that silence is absolute; it either is or it is not.
That’s why we have gone the extra mile to create a PC that guarantees absolute silence. We have meticulously configured this computer to ensure a truly noiseless experience. The CPU cooler, power supply, and graphics cards are entirely passive, devoid of any moving components. Consequently, they generate absolutely no noise, offering you an exceptionally serene computing environment.
However, we would like to bring to your attention that the only potential source of noise in this PC would be if you choose to include a conventional hard disk drive (HDD) and/or an optical drive. Therefore, we recommend considering this while customising your system. If maintaining total silence is your goal, we highly recommend opting for a solid-state drive (SSD) to store your data instead of a HDD. Additionally, we suggest using the optical drive only when necessary, to keep any potential noise at bay.
With this carefully designed and crafted PC, you can rest assured that silence will reign, granting you an uninterrupted and peaceful computing experience.
Storage considerations
When specifying your new PC’s storage options using our system configurator below, you will be offered a choice of drives which vary by price and capacity. There are two primary types of storage. A conventional hard disk drive (HDD) offers huge storage capacity for a low price, but it won’t be especially fast and it will generate a certain amount of running noise since it contains a constantly-rotating spindle. A solid state (SSD) or a M2 drive on the other hand, offer tremendous speed and absolutely silent operation, but they cost more than an HDD for any given capacity.
So if you need a lot of storage space (for videos or large quantities of digital photos for example), then we would recommend an HDD. On the other hand, if you prefer silence and speed (especially boot-up speed), then an SSD or M2 drive would be a better choice. Of course you can have more than one drive, so you could have the best of both worlds by choosing one of each! We recommend that customers chose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs and a conventional HDD to store other data, but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC you might want to forgo the HDDs all together as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.
Clean Build™ Promise
These days, many pre-built PCs often rely on cash incentives from software companies to support their prices. These companies pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software, hoping that customers will eventually opt to upgrade to the full version. Unfortunately, this approach has a downside: it fills the new PC with unnecessary “junkware,” leading to an inflated operating system and performance issues.
At Quiet PC, we firmly believe that customers deserve the utmost performance from their brand new PCs. That’s why we proudly offer our Clean Build™ promise with every system we build. When you choose one of our PCs, we install only the essentials: the operating system (if requested), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Windows Security. Say goodbye to annoying pop-ups and nag screens. With our clean build promise you can immediately start using your new PC without the hassle of uninstalling numerous unwanted programs. Experience lightning-fast boot times and enjoy optimal performance for months and years to come.
Free hardware support and fully inclusive warranty
We offer free hardware technical support for as long as you own the machine. This support covers any hardware query or problem, including advice on maintenance and upgrades. We regret we can’t offer software support or training so we would recommend contacting the software vendor in this instance.
Our hardware warranty runs for at least two years and is “collect and return” meaning that you don’t need to worry about getting the machine back to us - we will instruct our courier to collect it from you on a day of your choosing, then after we have checked and repaired it we will send it back to you by express courier at our expense. In addition, unlike many other PC suppliers, we have an “open-case” policy which means you are free to open the machine and perform your own minor modifications or upgrades without worrying that your warranty might be affected.
