For Intel, the Intel Core i9-14900K is obviously not the pinnacle of the Raptor Lake Refresh, after all, this processor is a production model, and generally speaking, Intel will announce the Intel Core i9-14900KS at CES, which is a limited edition processor, so as to fully squeeze the performance of Intel processors. Of course, for some reason, Intel did not announce this processor at CES this year, fortunately, the time did not wait too long, after two months, this processor that claims to be a masterpiece is finally going to meet everyone, it is reported that Intel will officially release the Intel Core i9-14900KS processor on March 16, thus drawing a successful end to the era of raptor lake refresh.
Intel Core i9-14900KS as a limited edition processor, naturally better than other processors in CPU physique, and the specially selected physique also allows the processor to get a higher frequency, it is reported that the highest default frequency of Intel Core i9-14900KS will reach 62GHz, while the current Intel Core i9-14900K is 60GHz, of course, in order to maintain a higher frequency, Intel has also made compromises on power consumption, TDP has been increased from 125W to 150W, and L2 power consumption will undoubtedly exceed the limit of 253W, and there is information that sneaked away in advance that the full load power consumption of this processor can reach 409W, which is extremely terrifying.
In addition, everyone is more concerned about the ** of Intel Core i9-14900ks, after all, the price of Intel Core i9-14900K is not cheap, so the carefully selected Intel Core i9-14900KS is obviously on the next level in price. At present, the initial price of Intel Core i9-14900K is 4999 yuan, while the initial price of the previous generation Intel Core i9-13900KS is 5999 yuan, which means that you need to spend an additional cost of more than 1000 yuan to get 0A 2GHz performance boost, so unless you're a hardcore enthusiast, the Intel Core i9-14900K is more than sufficient. Of course, the Intel Core i9-14900KS with a better physique may be able to exert its due strength in the hands of overclockers, such as breaking the CPU frequency world record.
