Q: What type of memory does this processor support?

A: This processor supports both DDR5 and DDR4 memory.

Q: How much L3 cache does this processor have?

A: The Intel Core i9-14900K processor has a 36MB Level 3 cache.

Q: What is the PCI Express configuration of this processor?

A: The PCI Express configuration is PCIe Gen 5 x1.

A: This processor is compatible with Intel 700 series and Intel 600 series chipset based motherboards.

Q: That title makes it sound like the base is 4.4GHz and turbos up to 6GHz. That is false. You’re showing the turbo E-Core frequency as the base. The true base P Core is 3.2GHz. The one who writes your descriptions needs to understand P cores vs E cores.

A: Greetings from the Intel team. Thank you for your question. The Intel® Core™ i9 processor 14900K has a total of twenty-four cores, eight Performance cores (P-cores), which have a Base Frequency of 3.2 GHz up to a Max Turbo Frequency of 5.6 GHz, and sixteen Efficient-cores (E-cores), which have a Base Frequency of 2.4 GHz up to a Max Turbo Frequency of 4.4 GHz. Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 Frequency: 5.8 GHz. Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 identifies the best-performing core(s) on a processor and provides increased performance on those cores through increasing frequency as needed by taking advantage of the power and thermal headroom. Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 frequency is the clock frequency of the CPU when running in this mode. Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost Frequency: 6 GHz. Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost (Intel® TVB) is a feature that opportunistically and automatically increases clock frequency above single-core and multi-core Intel® Turbo Boost Technology frequencies based on how much the processor is operating below its maximum temperature and whether turbo power budget is available. The frequency gain and duration depend on the workload, processor capabilities, and cooling solution. CPUs do not always need to run at their maximum frequency.
