Intel announced the 14th Gen Core I desktop processors of the T-series with only 35 W of TDP at CES 2024, as well as the 14th Gen Core I and U-series Core Ultra mobile processors of the HX series for notebooks.
In terms of desktop processors, Intel, as has been the case before, has launched a non-K version with a T-series 14th Gen Core I desktop processor, with the former having a TDP between 46 and 65 W depending on the model, while the latter has a TDP of only 35 W, which is suitable for building mini computers.
The specifications of the non-K version are the same as those of the corresponding K version, but the biggest difference is that the frequency multiplier is locked and cannot be overclocked directly, and the TDP setting value is relatively low, resulting in a situation where the performance will be relatively low. However, the advantage of it is that it is cheaper than the K version of the product, which is suitable for consumers who do not overclock or want to save some budget.
Boxed versions of the non-K and T-series 14th Gen Core I desktop processors will come with a heatsink, with the Core i9 paired with the Laminar RH1 for better cooling performance.
Intel released a total of 18 processors with TPDs of 65 W and 35 W at CES, all of which are compatible with DDR4 and DDR5 memory.
Including this model, all Gen Core I desktop processors can be installed on motherboards with series chipsets. (It may be necessary to update the BIOS UEFI firmware version).
According to data provided by Intel, the Core i9-14900 has a 2-7% performance gain in productivity and gaming performance compared to its predecessor, the Core i9-13900.
Compared to AMD's Ryzen 9 7900, the Core i9-14900 has a 6-32% lead in multiple productivity and content production performance tests, while the Core i9-14900-4-30% leads.

In the mobile product segment, Intel offers 2 different processor families for different applications to meet differentiated needs.
In the use scenarios of e-sports, gaming, and high-performance requirements, Intel continued the brand market positioning of the Core I family and launched the 14th generation Core I mobile processor of the HX series, providing up to 8P16E with a total of 24 cores and 32 threads Core i9-14900HX processor, and its maximum Turbo clock can reach 58 GHz for powerful performance.
In addition to the previously released 1 series models, the product line has been expanded to the ultra-low voltage U-series models, which are suitable for thinner, lighter and longer-lasting notebook products.
Intel launched the 14th Gen Core I mobile processor of the HX series to meet the needs of gaming, gaming, and high-performance, and the Core Ultra mobile processor to meet the needs of paperwork, multi-**, thin and light notebooks.
The 14th Gen Core I Mobile processors of the HX series have a TDP of 55 W and a maximum Turbo TDP of 157 W.
The HX Series Core I Mobile processors have a maximum turbo clock of 58 GHz for gamers.
The HX series Core I Mobile processors are also quite complete in platform features, and can support Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7 and other connectivity functions.
According to data provided by Intel, the Core i9-14900HX outperforms AMD's Ryzen 9 7945HX in gaming.
The gaming performance of the Core i9-14900HX is also in close proximity to that of the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D.
In the 99th percentile performance comparison of games, the Core i9-14900HX still has the upper hand, which means that it can provide a smoother performance.
The Core i9-14900HX also supports the APO (Application Optimization) function, which can optimize the dynamic allocation of P-Core and E-Core resources, and can bring up to 18% performance gain to specific applications and games.
The HX Series Core I Mobile processors also offer ideal versatility.
Compared to the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, the Core i9-14900HX has a maximum of 151 times the performance.
The U-series is a Series 1 Core Ultra mobile processor with a TDP of only 15 W.
Core Ultra is an SoC-based design that does not require the assistance of a chipset, a South Bridge Chipset (PCH) to complete all connectivity functions, and provides 2 PCIe Gen 4x4 channels to connect to SSDs, in addition to 12 PCIe Gen 3 channels for use.
