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.

The best choice among Intel processors
I recently upgraded to the Intel Core i9-14900K 14th Gen 24-Core 32-Thread, and this processor is an absolute beast! Whether you're into gaming, content creation, or just want an over-the-top powerful system, this CPU delivers on all fronts. Here's my experience after using it in my build: Pros: Insane Performance: With 24 cores and 32 threads, multitasking is a breeze. I’m running everything from games to heavy video editing and 3D rendering without any hiccups. The base clock of 4.4GHz is already super fast, but when it boosts up to 6.0GHz in Turbo mode, it's like nothing I’ve ever seen! Gaming Beast: I’m a gamer, and this CPU absolutely crushes any game I throw at it. Paired with an RTX 4090, I’m getting smooth frame rates at 4K ultra settings, and games load incredibly fast. If you’re looking to max out games while streaming or running background processes, this processor handles it all effortlessly. Overclocking Potential: Being unlocked, I pushed this chip beyond the factory settings, and it’s handled overclocking like a champ. The thermals are surprisingly good when paired with a solid cooling solution, and the performance gains are noticeable in both gaming and productivity tasks. Future-Proofing: With 24 cores and the LGA 1700 socket, this CPU is ready for anything you throw at it, now and for years to come. Plus, it's DDR5 compatible, so you’re set with the latest RAM speeds for a long time. Cons: Price: This is a premium processor, and the price reflects that. If you’re a casual user or just looking to game at 1080p, this might be overkill. But if you need a powerhouse for gaming, content creation, or future-proofing your rig, it’s worth the investment. Runs Hot: When pushed to the limit, especially when overclocked, it can get hot. I highly recommend a high-quality liquid cooler or a top-end air cooler to keep those temps under control. Overall: The Intel Core i9-14900K is an absolute monster in terms of power and performance. It handles anything you throw at it with ease, from hardcore gaming to productivity and content creation. Yes, it’s pricey and can run hot, but if you want the best of the best, this CPU is worth every penny. Perfect for enthusiasts and professionals who need cutting-edge performance! Highly recommend!

Great cpu
Great powerful cpu overall, insanely massive upgrade from my 6700HQ. The 14900K is difficult to keep cool to say the least, especially under full load. Running an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 that while gaming keeps it at a cool 55-65C after hours. While running the cpu at full load it does instantly spike to 100C & stay there until the load goes down. Extremely fast & great overall cpu if you don’t mind making your gaming room a sauna LOL. Highly recommend, don’t bother with the KS model for the massive price difference for 200mhz more clock speed, you can easily clock this K model up to that in your bios if you really want the 6.2GHz for some reason.

i914900k
Monster of CPU i would recomend 100% for those who are more inclined to play with the bios and do some adjustments to control overheating because it will instantly go to 100 out the box even with 360 aio like i said solution is in the bios , i got my pc to work stable in heavy load at 60 i upgrade from i7 12700k to i914900k and it’s worth it
