Intel® Core™ i9-14900K Processor

The Core™ i9-14900K is the high-end choice for gaming and intensive creation. Based on Raptor Lake Refresh, it combines 8 Performance cores (P-cores) and 16 Efficient cores (E-cores) for a total of 24 cores / 32 threads. With Turbo up to 6.0 GHz (depending on thermal conditions) and an unlocked multiplier, it delivers ultra-stable FPS, minimal latency, and exceptional responsiveness for editing, encoding, and streaming. It integrates a practical Intel® UHD 770 iGPU for display and troubleshooting.
