Nonetheless, the Core i9-14900KS should peak around 320W like the Core i9-14900K, if not higher.

Best to look out for the bundle deal with the Mr. Fusion and the dry ice machine.

It's Intels turn to go the Ghz route, instead of AMD. O how the turn tables

I don’t think AMD has EVER really gone the GHz route……they’ve gone the “larger caches” route since forever, but Intel has historically been the “clock speed wins” group.

There was FX 9590 that was the first 5ghz CPU, I think.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Although Intel claims to have improved Raptor Lake Refresh's IMC (integrated memory controller), the new chips retain native DDR4-3200 and DDR5-5600 support.

Weirdly, PC-Online would pair the Core i9-14900KS with DDR4-3200 memory instead of something faster to avoid bottlenecks with Intel's speedy chip.

The specifications for the prebuilt systems look a bit mild, suggesting that these may be machines that target offices.

However, many vendors have ridden the Raptor Lake Refresh wave and released new 700-series motherboards with better power delivery subsystems for overclocking and fast Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.

PC-Online lets buyers order the prebuilt systems with the unreleased Raptor Lake Refresh chip and claims a shipping time between one and five days.

The Israel-based retailer's enthusiasm to start shipping its prebuilt systems with the Core i9-14900KS suggests that an official announcement may not be too far away.
