Fast, powerful, and just a bit boring.
There are no tangible benefits to buying the pricier Core i9 14900K over the often cheaper Core i9 13900K. Prices will eventually come down, the 13900K will sell out, and the 14900K will sit top of the pile. Until then, just stick with whichever Core i9 you can find cheapest.Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.
You can use both 600-series and 700-series motherboards with this processor. Naturally, Intel would recommend a Z790 board for the maximum power delivery, alongside a 360mm cooler, though you can get away with less. I've been testing the 14900K with the sameNaturally, this means you can stick with a DDR4-compatible motherboard with the 14th Gen. This will surely be the last chip generation to make this offer, however.
Asus doesn't even follow Intel's advice when set to what you might consider stock values. Even then, the ICCMax is set to 360A.My point is, it's good to know what's going on with your processor under the hood, and what values Intel recommends as within spec for your CPU. However, in reality, all of these values may have very little bearing on how a chip actually runs once installed in your motherboard.
Application Optimization is extremely limited by its game support today, regardless. It only works with two games: Metro Exodus and Rainbow Six: Siege. Intel says it's working with further developers to add to the list.The 14900K is often the fastest gaming CPU in benchmarking. It tops the charts in Metro: Exodus, Far Cry 6, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and that's without going beyond what my motherboard considers stock power limits.
You'll notice that the 14900K with Multicore Enhancement enabled is not performing any better for its higher power draw in most benchmarks, and that's indicative of the actual benefit to a PC gamer. It really won't make any difference unless the chip would usually be limited by some sort of power wall, which it often isn't in gaming or single-threaded workloads.
But this is not a bad chip, per se, just a pretty generic refresh. It's a near-carbon copy of a great chip with marginally quicker clock speeds and it performs about as you'd expect for such minimal adjustments.
