Hardware Breakdown Presents: Intel Core i9-14900KS processor
It's that time of month again as we provide a comprehensive hardware breakdown on gadgets and hardware trending around the tech world. This month, we will delve into the details of Intel's most potent processor, the Core i9-1400KS, which is amassing the attention of many PC enthusiasts.
The processor's clock Speed and Core
The Core i9-14900KS is part of Intel's Special Edition lineup. It boasts an impressive 24 cores and 32 threads. What stands out the most about this processor is its insane speed. It can reach 6.2GHz on two cores right out of the box.
Binn silicone and performance
Like most Special Edition processors, the 14900KS is crafted from Intel's highest-binned silicon, carefully selected to deliver the fastest processing speeds at low voltages. However, the processor's blistering speed has a caveat: It can consume significant wattage, measuring 325 watts of power during peak performance.
The processor’s P-Core and E-Core design
The 14900KS features eight threaded P-cores and 16 single-threaded E-cores. The P-cores have a 200 MHz higher Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) than the standard 14900K, allowing the processor to reach 6.2 GHz if the temperature remains under 70 degrees C.
The compatibility
The 14900KS processor can be used in the same platform as other refreshed 14-Gen Raptor Lake Refresh processors. They support the same features with some consideration. By default, Intel activates a new Application Optimization ( APO for short). This featured tool dynamically adjusts processing resources to optimize thread scheduling and application threading, resulting in better gaming performance.
Epilogue
The Core i9 14900KS is one the most powerful processors featured on " Hardware Breakdown" that pushes the boundaries of clock speed, but the most significant caveat is that the processor consumes a lot of power. However, if you want limitless power and high performance, worrying about the power draw, you'll need to consider the best cooling solution for this processor.
