Intel has released its new Core i9-14900KS processor, boasting a maximum clock speed of 6.2GHz, making it the fastest consumer-grade desktop processor currently available and solidifying its hold on the performance crown in the PC chip market.
Intel has unveiled its latest desktop CPU, the Core i9-14900KS, which can reach speeds of up to 6.2GHz without overclocking, breaking another speed record. The chip features a 24 cores/32 threads architecture, 36MB of Smart Cache, and utilizes Intel’s Thermal Velocity Boost tool. It promises up to 15% better gaming performance and a 73% boost for content creators, and is priced at $700, available at traditional retailers and for integration into OEM systems.
Intel's Core i9-14900KS has been overclocked to 9.1 GHz by a team of elite overclockers, breaking multiple world records. The chip features a 6.2 GHz boost clock, the highest for any consumer processor, and was pushed to 9,117 MHz on a single performance core using liquid helium cooling and a voltage of 1.85V. The overclocking team set four new world records and utilized Asus' ROG Maximus Z790 Apex Encore motherboard. However, the $689 MSRP for the Core i9-14900KS may not justify its minimal performance gains over the Core i9-14900K, making it less appealing for most consumers compared to AMD's Ryzen processors.
Intel has announced the Core i9-14900KS, a special edition desktop processor with P-Core turbo clock speeds of up to 6.2 GHz, making it the fastest desktop processor in the world in terms of advertised frequencies. Priced at $689, the processor is based on the Raptor Lake architecture and features 8P+16E cores, 32 threads, and 36 MB of L3 cache. The high clock speeds come at a cost of increased power consumption, with a base TDP rating of 150W and turbo power limits of 253W/320W. To achieve optimal performance, users will need high-end cooling solutions. The Core i9-14900KS is available for purchase and is compatible with Z690 and Z790 chipsets, supporting both DDR5 and DDR4 memory types.
Intel is releasing its new flagship Core i9-14900KS processor today, priced at $699 with a max turbo frequency of 6.2GHz, promising up to 15 percent better gaming performance over its predecessor and up to 73 percent improvement for 3D production multitasking workflows over AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X. It features 24 cores, with 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores, and runs at a 150-watt base power. The 14900KS is almost identical to the 14900K but has been selected to run at a higher clock speed, and will be compatible with Z790 and Z690 motherboards with the latest BIOS updates.
Intel's Core i9-14900KS CPUs have been obtained by buyers ahead of the official launch, showcasing extreme clock speeds of 6.2 GHz at 1.5V and requiring intense cooling. The highly binned chip features 24 cores, 32 threads, and high per-core clock speeds, with P-Cores reaching 6.2 GHz and E-Cores at 5.9 GHz. The CPU is set for release on March 13th, with an expected price of around $750 US.
A leak has revealed the specifications of Intel's upcoming flagship Core i9-14900KS Limited Edition CPU, including a 6.2 GHz boost clock and over 400W of power consumption. The chip is expected to have 24 cores, 32 threads, and feature a 150W base TDP, with a peak power consumption of 410W. The high power consumption suggests the need for premium cooling solutions, and the CPU is anticipated to run hot, reaching temperatures of up to 101 degrees Celsius. While there's no official release date or price, speculations point to a launch in the near future, potentially priced around $800.
The upcoming Intel Core i9-14900KS Limited Edition CPU has been leaked, revealing its impressive specifications including 24 cores, 32 threads, and a boost frequency of 6.2 GHz. However, the chip's high clock speeds result in extreme power consumption of up to 410W and temperatures reaching 101 degrees Celsius. The leak suggests that the chip should launch soon, with pricing expected to be around $799.
The first prebuilt systems featuring Intel's unreleased Core i9-14900KS CPU have been spotted at a retailer in Israel. These highly binned CPUs are designed for enthusiasts and overclockers, offering increased clock speeds and a higher nominal TDP. However, it is unclear if the listing is based on real data, as the systems are paired with DDR4-3200 memory and lack dedicated GPUs, suggesting they are business-oriented machines rather than high-end gaming systems. Intel is expected to release the 14900KS CPU in the first quarter of next year.
