Intel Core i9-14900K 6.0 GHz ES CPU shows up in first CPU-Z test, 8-10% faster than Core i9-13900K

Intel Core i9-14900K tested in CPU-Z

Intel’s fastest LGA1700 CPU makes its first appearance.

The upcoming Core i9-14900K processor, part of Intel’s Raptor Lake Refresh lineup, is set to maintain the same core count as the existing Core i9-13900K with 24 cores, consisting of 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. However, there is a notable increase in clock speed, with a boost of 200 MHz.

One significant aspect of this CPU is its 6.0 MHz boost capability, also known as Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB), for its P-Cores. This feature appears to be substantiated by a leaked screenshot showcasing a 14900K engineering sample. Additionally, the leak confirms a 125W TDP (Thermal Design Power) specification for the processor and the necessity of 1.385V voltage to achieve this clock speed.

The Core i9-14900K processor scored 978 points in the single-core CPU-Z test and 18117.5 points in multi-core. If one were to compare this CPU to the Core i9-13900K and i9-12900K, it would appear that the 14900K CPU is 9.7%/8.4% faster than 13900K and 19.4%/59% faster respectively than 12900K. The significant improvement in MT performance compared to the initial LGA1700 Core i9 CPU from the Alder Lake series can be attributed to the doubled E-Core count.

Rumors are circulating that Intel is gearing up to announce its Core K-CPUs as part of the 14th Gen Core series at an upcoming Innovation event later this month. However, it’s worth noting that the launch of the Raptor Lake Refresh is anticipated to follow next month.
