Intel Core i9-14900K engineering sample shown hitting 6GHz

João Silva September 4, 2023 CPU

The next Core i9-14900K CPU, which will be part of Intel's Raptor Lake Refresh portfolio, will have the same core count as the Core i9-13900K, with 24 cores made up of 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. However, there is a noticeable increase in clock speed, as seen in recently leaked CPU-Z screenshots.

The Core i9-14900K can push up to 6.0GHz according to screenshots posted by @wnxod (via VideoCardz), which show an i9-14900K engineering sample being tested. Furthermore, the leak validates the processor's 125W TDP standard and the need for 1.385V voltage to accomplish this clock speed.

The single-core CPU-Z score for the Core i9-14900K processor was 978, while the multi-core score was 18117.5. When compared to the Core i9-13900K, the 14900K CPU seems to be 8.4% faster in the single-core test and 9.0% faster in the multi-core benchmark. Going back another generation and comparing it to the Core i9-12900K, we see a 19.9% uplift in the single-core result and 59.5% in the multi-core test.

Rumour has it that Intel is planning to unveil its 14th Gen Core K-series CPUs at the upcoming Innovation event later this month. The release should be in October or November.

KitGuru says: Seeing these scores, do you think that would be enough to justify an upgrade?

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.
