Intel Core i9 14900K 2.4 GHz Processor

Intel Core i9 14900K 2.4 GHz Processor
The Core i9-14900K, it has 24 cores and 32 threads which are made up of 8 P-pores (aimed at performance) and 16 E-cores (aimed at efficiency). The specs are quite similar to the previous-gen 13900K – same base & turbo wattage, the same amount of L2 cache, and for the RAM support, it still supports 5600MHz (that is unless you enable XMP if applicable). One major change here is using the slight architectural efficiency improvement being leveraged for an increased core clock. This processor goes up to 6.0GHz with Intel Thermal Velocity Boost. As long as your motherboard VRMs and CPU cooler can handle a 253W load, the 14900K should be able to turbo to 6GHz out of the box.

Compatible With All LGA 1700 Motherboards, Supports Both DDR5 and DDR5 RAM
The Intel 14th Gen processors are compatible with all LGA 1700 motherboards. This includes Z790/ Z690 motherboards, as well as B660/ B760 chipset motherboards. Remember to check your motherboard’s VRM quality before grabbing an i9 because this 14900K processor is a 253W monster and not all motherboards can pull off using this CPU at its best potential

The Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh processors either. 
New Z790 motherboards have come out recently, with improved features such as support for Wi-Fi 7. Anyways, the Intel 14th Gen desktop CPU lineup contains ideal upgrade options for anyone with LGA 1700 motherboards. It is great to see Intel supporting the same motherboard socket for a total of 3 years (counting 12th Gen, 13th Gen, and now the 14th Gen).

Official Intel Power Profiles For K-Series Processor
Intel processors that belong in the K-series class come with an Extreme Power Delivery profile and a Performance Power Delivery profile. When you first set up the stock BIOS after building your PC Z690 or Z790 motherboard, the motherboard can automatically enable many features that aren’t necessarily the best for optimal performance. When buying an Intel Core processor of the K-Series class (such as the i9-14900K), it is vital for you to configure your motherboard’s BIOS with either the Performance or Extreme power delivery profiles before using any other settings. Intel officially suggests the below two profiles for the Intel Core i9-14900K as the CPU’s official operating specification.

To maximize the advantage of your K-Series chip 
you need to manually set up the BIOS properly on your Z690 & Z790 motherboard. Our motherboard, the Asus ROG Z790-E, applied a “higher power delivery setting” (ICCMax=500) by default that was outside of Intel’s official operating specifications for Intel’s Core i9-14900K. In addition, MCE was enabled. So, we reverted to the Intel-specified operating specifications for the i9-14900K, being the Extreme power profile.

Intel 14th Gen Desktop CPUs Pricing
Intel Core 14th Gen desktop CPUs are available in different variants ranging from the i5-14600K to the i9-14900K. Before getting into the review, we can already tell you that Core i9-14900K is suitable for all sorts of tasks ranging from video-editing in content creation software to high-end AAA gaming. Moving forward into the review though, we will be focusing on the performance improvements of this CPU over the predecessor, accessing its efficiency, verifying advertised turbo clocks, testing overclocking performance, and more.
