It was once that should you dreamed of reaching 6GHz speeds together with your scorching rod desktop CPU, you’d should strive your luck with overclocking and the entire potential instability and cooling calls for that required. Earlier this 12 months, Intel launched the Core i9-13900KS, which hit 6GHz proper out of the field. Now, the corporate is doing it once more with its quickest 14th-gen desktop CPU, the i9-14900K. That frequency is only a short-lived “Thermal Velocity Increase” pace, which is not sustained for very lengthy, but it surely’s nonetheless one thing Intel can lord over AMD.

These 14th-gen chips, to be clear, are totally different from Intel’s lately introduced 14th-gen Core Extremely processors for notebooks. Understandably, Intel is specializing in effectivity for its cell lineup, whereas its desktop chips are all about uncooked energy (and 6GHz bragging rights). You possibly can have a look at the 14th-gen desktop {hardware} as a final gasp for Intel’s present structure, the place the corporate does not thoughts pushing energy calls for to out-bench AMD. (The i9-14900K consumes as a lot as 253 watts, similar to its predecessor.)

Intel’s highest-end 14th-gen chip might get a lot of the consideration, however discerning avid gamers could also be extra within the i7-14700K, which now options 20 cores (8 efficiency and 12 effectivity) and reaches as much as 5.6GHz “Turbo Increase Max 3.0” speeds. Maybe most significantly, its $409 price ticket is nicely beneath the 14900K’s $589.

In the case of benchmarks, Intel claims the 14900K is as much as 23 p.c sooner than AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X3D whereas taking part in Starfield in 1080p. The corporate additionally says that chip is as much as 54 p.c sooner than the identical AMD {hardware} whereas multi-tasking between After Results and Premiere Professional. (That comparability could also be a bit unfair, since Intel examined an Auto Reframe job in Premiere Professional that works along with its UHD graphics, one thing that AMD’s graphics do not assist with.)

Maybe extra helpful than uncooked benchmark comparisons, Intel additionally says the i9-14900K was in a position to attain over 100fps in Whole Struggle: Warhammer III whereas taking part in, streaming and recording in 1080p with extremely graphics settings. That sport can be optimized particularly for its 14th-gen {hardware}, so you may’t count on the identical outcomes with each title.

Should you’re nonetheless desperate to overclock, Intel can be making that simpler with its new XTU AI Help characteristic, which is able to solely be out there on the i9-4900K. In a demo for media, an Intel consultant confirmed off how the XTU app can shortly decide the best processor core voltages, motherboard energy settings and “different tuning knobs” to find out protected efficiency speeds. They famous that Intel had educated its AI overclocking mannequin on tons of of CPUs, in addition to quite a lot of motherboard and cooler choices (together with a little bit of liquid cooling). As soon as the AI tuning course of is full, you may roll with its urged settings or use them as a baseline for additional overclocking.

One characteristic you will not see in these new 14th-gen chips? An NPU (neural processing unit) for AI acceleration. Oddly sufficient, the corporate’s upcoming Core Extremely cell chips will characteristic an NPU, which allows issues like Home windows Studios Results for AI-powered background blurs in video chats. It is sensible for Intel’s first NPU to look in its new structure, whereas the 14th-gen desktop chips are beefed-up variations of final 12 months’s {hardware}. Nonetheless, it is a bit odd for its priciest desktop {hardware} to overlook out on one thing mere laptops will see subsequent 12 months.

Intel’s 14th-gen desktop chips might be out there from retailers and system producers on October seventeenth.
