Intel Core i9-14900K, 9% faster than Core i9-13900K

Intel will present the 14th generation of Intel-Coreincluding the top-of-the-line Core i9-14900K, in a few weeks, most likely during Intel Innovation 2023which will take place in mid-September, although some rumors have suggested that the presentation of this new generation would not take place at said event, but instead It would take place in mid-October. Be that as it may, the term is measured in weeks, not months.

we also know that this generation will be divided into two families-architectures. On the one hand, the Intel Core-K will be Raptor Lake refresh, that is, they will maintain the same architecture as in the current thirteenth generation (Raptor Lake), while on the mobile platform we will see a change in architecture, with the arrival of Meteor Lake which, among other novelties, will have a VPU in the encapsulation dedicated to work based on artificial intelligence, in addition to having improvements in your own performance also thanks to AI.

Therefore, what we can expect from Raptor Lake refresh is a jump in performance, due to both the increase in the working frequencies of the coresas well as the possibility of use DDR5-6400 memoryAnd that’s where the news would end. Well, except for the increase in the TDP that we can take for granted, since the increases in core frequencies will be sustained on it. Ah, yes, in the absence of official confirmation, yes we will see other numbers risebut not related to performance…

Thus, now the key factor about Raptor Lake refresh is the one referring to the increase in performance with respect to Raptor Lake, and today we can find an advance in this regard. in Wccftechin which they tell us that the Intel Core i9-14900K, is almost 9% faster than Core i9-13900K in single-core performance. The performance increase with all cores running is, according to the same source, about 7%. Specifically, the scores obtained by the chip, which is referenced as an engineering sample, are 978 and 18,177 points respectively.

There is no data, yes, on the consumption of the processor, nor on the temperature reached by it, when reaching said speed, but we can assume that in both cases they will be numbers that will not leave us indifferent, by high in both cases. Let’s remember that the specifications of the Intel Core i9-14900K are 24 cores (8+16) and 32 threads, up to 36 MB of Smart Cache, a base TDP of 125 watts and clock speeds between 3.2 gigahertz (base) and 6 gigahertz (turbo).

For its part, if the recently leaked prices end up being correct, remember that the Intel Core i9-14900K would be priced at $695, compared to $600 for the i9-13900K, so that in this case we are talking about an increase of almost 16%.
