Intel's latest release of the Core i9-14900T processor hasn't attracted much attention from ** reports and technical reviews in the market. Although it is listed as part of Intel's second wave of 14th Gen Core processors, it is hard to find in the retail market. In contrast, the Core i9-14900 (non-K version) is more readily available as a low-power alternative to the Core i9-14900K. However, the Core i9-14900T excels in terms of energy efficiency, and even consumes less power than the Core i9-14900K.
According to the results of the CPU testers of the TPU, the Core i9-14900T performs disappointing under different power consumption constraints. Recently, however, we noticed that a test system evaluated the high-performance processing capabilities of the Core i9-14900T. The system uses an ASROCK Z790 PG-ITX TB4 motherboard (with 64GB 5586MT S DDR5 SDRAM) on Geekbench 62.2In the test, the single-core performance score was 3019, and the multi-core performance score was 16385. Compared to the test results of the Core i9-14900K, the multi-core performance is reduced by 22%. However, this article compares the Core i9-14900T to AMD's Ryzen 9 7900 processor, which is a 65-watt from AMD"Non-x"Model. Last March, someone reviewed the Ryzen 9 7900 and was impressed by its excellent energy efficiency, with the Geekbench 6 official score of 2823 (single-core) and 16750 (multi-core).
An analysis of the chip by a review agency pointed out that the Core i9-14900T has an advantage in overall performance, but the power consumption is high, and the platform used will not receive the new processor. Additionally, the Core i9-14900T has an MSRP of $549, while the Ryzen 9 7900 usually sells for $400. As a result, AMD processors are a more attractive option from a price/performance perspective and are more readily available in the retail market.
