It’s a slightly faster version of the same CPU.
The standard Turbo Boost 3.0 clock is also up 100 MHz, as is the E-core boost frequency.
Everything else isidentical to the 14900K.
It’s the same 24 core design with 8 P cores and 16 E cores.
Architecture is the same.
L3 cache and L2, the same.
Base frequencies, unchanged.
Memory specifications, identical.
Intel says the new part, which is going on sale today, will cost a whopping $700.
This isn’t the first time Intel has released a KS processor: they did so with the9900KS,12900KSand13900KS.
As part of Intel’s slide deck, there area few questionable performance slides.
Across the seven games shown, on average Intel is claiming a 7% performance increase.
Along with the 14900KS, Intel is updating the list ofAPO enabledgames to include 14 titles.
These are also just first party benchmarks and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Possibly some cherry picking there.
So what else can you say about the 14900KS?
It’s not an exciting processor launch.
Most people probably shouldn’t buy one.
