INTEL Core i9 14900KS 14th Generation Processor ( 6.2 GHz / 24 Cores / 32 Threads )

The Intel Core i9-14900KS is a 14th-generation desktop processor built on the Raptor Lake architecture and manufactured on Intel’s Intel 7 process node. Designed for enthusiast gamers and serious content creators, it features a hybrid core configuration of 8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores for a total of 24 cores and 32 threads, making it well suited to demanding multitasking, high-frame-rate gaming, and intensive creative workloads. The processor reaches a maximum boost clock of 6.2 GHz via Intel Thermal Velocity Boost, which opportunistically raises clock frequency when the CPU is within thermal limits. Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 delivers up to 5.9 GHz on the best-performing core, while Performance-core single-core boost reaches 5.7 GHz and Efficient-core boost reaches 4.5 GHz. Base frequencies are 3.2 GHz for P-cores and 2.4 GHz for E-cores. Memory support covers both DDR5 (up to 5600 MT/s) and DDR4 (up to 3200 MT/s) with dual-channel configuration, a maximum capacity of 192 GB, and peak bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory is supported. The processor connects via PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 lanes (up to 20 lanes), ensuring compatibility with the latest discrete graphics cards and NVMe storage devices. It is compatible with Intel 700-series motherboards and Intel 600-series motherboards (the latter may require a BIOS update), using the FCLGA1700 socket. Integrated graphics are provided by Intel UHD Graphics 770, with 32 Execution Units, a base frequency of 300 MHz, and a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.65 GHz. Display output supports up to four monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K/60Hz) and DisplayPort 1.4a (up to 8K/60Hz). Advanced technologies include Intel Thread Director for intelligent OS-level thread scheduling, Intel Adaptive Boost Technology, Intel Deep Learning Boost, Intel Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0, and the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility with AI Assist for overclocking support. The processor supports overclocking when paired with a Z790 or Z690 chipset motherboard.
