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!

Intel Core i9-14900K: A Powerhouse CPU
I've been using the Intel Core i9-14900K for a while now, and it's safe to say that this processor is a beast. It operates at a clock speed of 2.4 GHz, which is impressive and provides a smooth and fast computing experience. One of the standout features of the i9-14900K is its 24 cores and 32 threads. This means it can handle multiple tasks simultaneously without any hiccups. Whether you're gaming, streaming, or running heavy applications, this CPU can handle it all. The i9-14900K also comes with Intel UHD Graphics 770, which delivers clear, crisp visuals. This is a big plus for gamers and content creators who need high-quality graphics. However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The i9-14900K tends to run a bit hot under heavy load. This isn't a deal-breaker, but it's something to keep in mind if you plan on pushing this CPU to its limits regularly. Despite this minor setback, the Intel Core i9-14900K is a top-tier processor that offers excellent performance. It's a bit pricey, coming in at $547.50, but you're definitely getting your money's worth. I would rate it a solid 4 out of 5. In conclusion, if you're looking for a high-performance CPU that can handle heavy workloads with ease, the Intel Core i9-14900K is a great choice

Allows choice of board newer/older DDR4 or DDR5
I purchased this to go along with my Asus ROG Strix Z790 Wifi-gaming motherboard. It's been running great! Check the motherboard you purchase though, as it may require bios upgrades to fix issues and compatibility. The fact that you can decide if you want to go with a cheaper board and DDR4, or be up to date with a newer board and DDR5 is great as well!
