Intel's new Core i9-14900KS is accessible at the moment with a lift as much as 6.2GHz for $699

Intel is launching its flagship Core i9-14900KS processor at the moment, whose clock velocity will enhance to six.2GHz. That is 200MHz greater than the earlier Core i9-13900KS launched final yr and was the primary desktop processor to interrupt the 6GHz barrier at inventory velocity.

This new Core i9-14900KS can be priced at $699, the identical because the earlier 13900KS, and can be stocked in shops at the moment. The 6.2GHz most turbo frequency is an out-of-the-box increase, so there could also be scope for overclocking to push these speeds even additional. The 14900Ks have the identical 24 cores discovered within the 14900K, eight efficiency cores and 16 effectivity ones. Nevertheless, it runs on 150 watts of base energy as a substitute of the 125 watts discovered on the 14900K.

Aside from energy and turbo frequency, the 14900KS is nearly an identical to the 14900K. That is primarily a “binned” model that has been chosen to run at a better clock velocity. Z790 and Z690 motherboards will help 14900KS with the newest BIOS replace.

Intel is promising as much as 15 % higher gaming efficiency from the 14900KS in comparison with the 13900KS, and as much as 73 % higher gaming efficiency for 3D manufacturing multitasking workflows in comparison with AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X. It will likely be fascinating to see how nicely the 14900KS performs in opposition to AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which has dominated PC gaming efficiency just lately. Intel's personal benchmarks recommend that the 14900KS can handily beat the 7800X3D in some video games.

The Core i9-14900KS will possible be one of many final LGA 1700 socket processors available on the market, as Intel is shifting in direction of a brand new socket for its upcoming technology of CPUs. Retailers will start stocking the 14900KS on cabinets at the moment at a value of $699. This new processor will even be obtainable inside OEM methods.
