Its frequency is 200 MHz higher than the Core i9-13900KS
The characteristics of the future top-end Intel processor of the Raptor Lake-S family have appeared on the Internet. Core i9-14900KS will be able to operate at frequencies up to 6.2 GHz — 200 MHz more than the Core i9-13900KS. But a top-end processor consumes a lot and gets quite hot.
The Core i9-14900KS will have 24 computing cores (8 P cores and 16 E cores), the CPU will be able to execute 32 threads simultaneously. Level 2 cache size — 32 MB, third — 36 MB.
TDP values Power Limit 1 — 150 W, but the maximum consumption reaches 410 W, although on average the consumption is lower — 330 W. Maximum temperature with all P cores running at 5.9 GHz is 101 degrees Celsius. So a top-end CPU will also require top-end cooling.
The test assembly (Core i9-14900KS was tested using OCCT) included the MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WIFI motherboard and 32 GB of DDR5 memory. In this case, the cooling was most likely air.
