THE processors Intel will experience a revolution with Meteor Lake and a probable tiny facelift with Raptor Lake Refresh.
Unless there is an accident on the home stretch, Intel should soon tell us the actual release date of its generation of Raptor Lake Refresh processors. The Core i9-14900K stands out now.
The Core i9-14900K at 6 GHz in boost
Remember that this Core i9 will be the last to bear this baptismal name, Intel having decided to change its nomenclature from the Meteor Lake generation, the release of which should coincide with that of Raptor Lake Refresh.
Please note, however, that Meteor Lake should not see a high-end version for so-called desktop processors. This is also the reason for Raptor Lake Refresh: to occupy the desktop space while waiting for the release of the next generation, Arrow Lake, in 2024.
” Occupy the land » is also good, since it will extend the lifespan of the LGA1700 socket, which was to disappear with the release of Meteor Lake in favor of an LGA1851 which we will therefore have to wait a few more months.
Funny multi-core performance
Although it does not yet have an exact launch date, the Core i9-14900K is getting a small release on the Geekbench bases, which suggests that Intel is only making the final preparations .
The processor should not differ significantly from the Core i9-13900K, of which it retains the efficient/efficient 8/16 core configuration. Thanks to Thermal Velocity Boost technology, however, it should provide a few additional MHz. We are talking about a maximum of 6 GHz, compared to 5.8 GHz on the 13900K and, in this sense, only the very special 13900KS does as well.
Presented by VideoCardz, the results of the 14900K on Geekbench are not very exciting. In single-core, we are talking about 3,121 points, which makes it the best consumer Intel chip. On the other hand, we cannot explain the 19,032 points in multi-core. The 14900K is then behind (still passes) the 13900KS, but it is also and above all surpassed by the 13900K.
Of course, these results should be taken with caution. There are far less than 14900K tested on the Geekbench database, with a possible impact on the averages. Additionally, the motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers may be further optimized. Finally, the RAM is DDR5-4800, while the CPU can handle up to DDR5-5600.
Let’s hope for Intel that these preliminary results do not reflect what its ultimate Core i9 will be capable of. It would be a sad exit.
