There is a noticeable performance improvement over the 13900K in the most recent benchmarks of Intel’s next-generation Core i9-14900K Desktop CPU. The 14th Gen stack’s fastest component will be the Intel Core i9-14900K desktop CPU. Similar to the current Core i9-13900K in terms of specs, it will be tuned for higher clocks and power limits, giving it a performance boost that is well within the range of any refreshed chip because, at the end of the day, that is what the 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh family is.
In an 8+16 arrangement, the Intel Core i9-14900K CPU will have 24 cores and 32 threads.
The CPU will have a base TDP of 125W (253W PL2) and up to 36 MB of Smart Cache. It will have basic clock speeds of 3.2 GHz and a thermal velocity boost of up to 6.0 GHz. This will have the same frequency as the Core i9-13900KS and an increase of 200 MHz over the Core i9-13900K. We shouldn’t yet consider the CPU’s latest retail price of $695 US, which is a +15.8% increase over its predecessor, to be the “Final” retail price.
The @wxnod performance benchmarks for the Intel Core i9-14900K Desktop CPU demonstrate that the processor operates at 6 GHz right out of the box, which is the same clock speed as the Core i9-13900KS. The chip is designated as a “Engineering Sample,” therefore the final performance may vary somewhat but should be comparable.
The CPU outperforms all currently available desktop CPUs by scoring 978 in single-core testing and 18,117.5 in multi-core testing. When it hits the market, this will undoubtedly be the fastest single and multi-core chip available, but all of this performance comes at a significant expense.
Despite the possibility that the Intel Core i9-14900K Desktop CPU will become the fastest one available, it will also be incredibly power-hungry and difficult to control. Some of the most power-hungry CPUs are the Core i9-13900K & 13900KS, which may consume up to 300W of power and reach temperatures of 90–100C when fully loaded.
