Intel · Core i9 · 2023 · LGA1700
The Intel Core i9-14900KF is a desktop processor with 24 cores (8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficiency-cores), released in 2023 at an MSRP of $564. It is part of the Core i9 lineup, using the 14th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1700 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Raptor Lake Refresh" architecture. Only the 8 P-cores support Hyper-Threading, while the 16 E-cores handle a single thread each, together yielding 32 threads: the P-cores tackle latency-sensitive and lightly-threaded work, while the E-cores take on background and highly parallel tasks. The Core i9-14900KF has a base clock of 3.2 GHz and can boost up to 6 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Raptor Lake Refresh" silicon on a Intel 7 process node. The multiplier is unlocked, making overclocking straightforward. This processor supports DDR4/DDR5 memory. With a TDP of 125W, the Core i9-14900KF sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. This processor has no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. The cache hierarchy consists of 80KB/core of L1, 32MB of L2, and 36MB of L3 cache.
Sheds the 14900K's UHD 770 integrated graphics entirely, requiring a discrete GPU for any display output. Otherwise runs the identical Raptor Cove hybrid silicon at the same clocks — a straightforward cost-saving pick for anyone already running a dedicated graphics card.
