Intel Core i9-14900K Processor
24 Cores | 32 Threads | Max. Boost Clock Up To 6.0 GHz | Intel LGA1700 Socket
Six. Gigahertz. Out of the box. The Core i9-14900K is the flagship of Intel's 14th Gen lineup, with 24 cores (8 Performance cores plus 16 Efficient cores), 32 threads and a max turbo of 6.0GHz. It's built for people who game, stream and render all at once without closing a single Chrome tab.
The P-cores carry high-refresh gaming and snappy single-thread work. The 16 E-cores chew through background jobs, encoding and multitasking. Add 36MB of Smart Cache and it's a monster in Premiere Pro, Blender, DaVinci Resolve and code compiles.
It's unlocked for overclocking. With up to 253W of turbo power, it wants a proper cooler: a 360mm AIO is the move. Pair it with a Z790 board to unlock its full potential, and DDR5 for the best performance.
Best for: Enthusiast gaming at high refresh rates, streaming while gaming, 4K video editing, 3D rendering and heavy multitasking.
Platform and compatibility
It uses the Intel LGA1700 socket and works with H610, B660, B760, H670, Z690, H770 or Z790 motherboards. LGA1700 supports both DDR4 and DDR5 boards, so you can build cheap now or go all-in on DDR5.
