Notes

The Core i9-14900K is Intel's flagship 14th gen Raptor Lake Refresh processor, featuring 24 cores (8 P-cores, 16 E-cores) and 32 threads with boost speeds up to 6.0 GHz. This powerhouse CPU excels in both gaming and productivity workloads, offering exceptional single-threaded performance alongside strong multi-core capabilities. With support for DDR5-5600 and PCIe 5.0, it's ideal for enthusiast builds targeting 4K gaming, content creation, and heavy multitasking. The unlocked multiplier enables overclocking for users seeking maximum performance. While it demands robust cooling due to high power consumption (253W turbo), the 14900K delivers top-tier performance across gaming, streaming, video editing, 3D rendering, and software development. Competes directly with AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X3D, offering superior productivity performance though slightly trailing in gaming efficiency.
