Intel Core i9-14900
Intel's 65 W Raptor Lake Refresh desktop chip for LGA1700: 24 cores (8 P-cores and 16 E-cores), 32 threads, a 5.8 GHz maximum turbo and 36 MB of L3 cache, with support for both DDR5 and DDR4 memory.
Pros
- 24 cores and 32 threads (8 P-cores, 16 E-cores) with up to 5.8 GHz boost
- 65 W base power, well below the 125 W of the unlocked Core i9-14900K
- Supports DDR5-5600 and DDR4-3200 on LGA1700 boards
- Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 for systems without a discrete card
Cons
- Turbo power reaches 219 W, so cooling must still be capable
- Intel 7 process is less efficient than newer Arrow Lake and Zen 5 designs
- LGA1700 is an end-of-line socket with no upgrade path
- Sustained multi-core performance depends on motherboard power limits
Very good
