Originally Published 1 year ago — by AnandTech
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.
