Intel's 14th-gen desktop CPUs will hit 6GHz, just like its fastest 13th-gen chip.
It used to be that if you dreamed of reaching 6GHz speeds with your hot rod desktop CPU, you'd have to try your luck with overclocking and all of the potential instability and cooling demands that required. Earlier this year, Intel released the, which hit 6GHz right out of the box. Now, the company is doing it again with its fastest 14th-gen desktop CPU, the i9-14900K.
. Understandably, Intel is focusing on efficiency for its mobile lineup, whereas its desktop chips are all about raw power . You can look at the 14th-gen desktop hardware as a last gasp for Intel's existing architecture, where the company doesn't mind pushing power demands to out-bench AMD. Intel's highest-end 14th-gen chip may get most of the attention, but discerning gamers may be more interested in the i7-14700K, which now features 20 cores and reaches up to 5.6GHz "Turbo Boost Max 3.0" speeds. Perhaps most importantly, its $409 price tag is well below the 14900K's $589.
When it comes to benchmarks, Intel claims the 14900K is up to 23 percent faster than AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X3D while playingin 1080p. The company also says that chip is up to 54 percent faster than the same AMD hardware while multi-tasking between After Effects and Premiere Pro. Perhaps more useful than raw benchmark comparisons, Intel also says the i9-14900K was able to reach over 100fps inwhile playing, streaming and recording in 1080p with ultra graphics settings.
Intel's 14th-gen desktop chips will be available from retailers and system manufacturers on October 17th.
