Extreme desktop processor for enthusiasts

The Intel Core i9-14900KS is a 24-core desktop CPU built on the Raptor Lake architecture for the LGA 1700 socket. It targets extreme gamers and enthusiasts who want maximum single-thread speed and heavy multi-thread throughput. The processor integrates Intel UHD Graphics 770 and supports both DDR4 3200 and DDR5 5600 memory in dual-channel mode. Retail packaging includes the boxed processor.

24 cores with 6.2 GHz peak boost

Eight performance cores and sixteen efficient cores deliver 32 threads for demanding workloads. Performance cores run at a 3.2 GHz base and can reach 5.7 GHz, while efficient cores start at 2.4 GHz and hit 4.5 GHz. Intel Thermal Velocity Boost pushes a single core to 6.2 GHz when thermal headroom and power budget allow. The 150 W base power rating means sustained all-core loads will require substantial cooling capacity.

LGA 1700 platform with tuning tools

The LGA 1700 socket fits current 600- and 700-series chipset motherboards after a BIOS update. Dual-channel memory support tops out at 192 GB with ECC capability for data integrity. Intel Extreme Tuning Utility adds AI Assist to simplify overclocking, while Application Optimization adjusts thread scheduling for supported titles in real time. The integrated graphics provide display output without a discrete card.

Questions about this item

Will the i9-14900KS fit my existing LGA 1700 motherboard and DDR4 3200 memory?

Yes. The processor uses the LGA 1700 socket and officially supports DDR4 3200 as well as DDR5 5600 in dual-channel mode up to 192 GB.

How can I verify the processor is hitting its 6.2 GHz Thermal Velocity Boost after installation?

Monitor core clocks under load with Intel XTU or HWInfo; a single P-core should reach 6.2 GHz when the CPU stays below 70 °C and power budget allows.

Does the retail box include a cooler or only the CPU?

The retail box contains the Core i9-14900KS processor with integrated UHD Graphics 770; a compatible LGA 1700 cooler must be purchased separately.
