Allegedly details of an unreleased Intel Core i9-14900KS have reportedly been spotted. Specifically, its details were put up on the benchmarking and stability tool, OCCT.
Like all previous Intel Core i9 CPUs with the “KS” moniker, the 14900KS is essentially an even more souped-up version of the chipmaker’s current top-tier powerhouse desktop CPU, the 14900K. In terms of specs, we’re looking at the same 24-cores, 32-threads configuration, comprising eight P-Cores and 16 E-Cores, along with a 150W TDP as the default. What sets it apart from its standard “K” brethren is that its boost clock is higher at 6.2GHz, which is 200MHz faster. Explains why it requires 25W more to run.
What is unknown about the 14900KS is whether or not that 6.2GHz boost clock applies to one or two P-Cores. For context, CPUs generally have one, and not all available cores, running at its peak advertised boost clock. With Intel’s “KS” processors lineup, these components are capable of running those speeds on two cores, although it should be noted that after the 12900KS, Intel has been somewhat reluctant in confirming whether or not its 13900KS is capable of doing the same. Further, OCCT lists the alleged CPU as a production unit, meaning that this is not an engineering or validation unit.
At the time of writing, there is still no word when the alleged 14900KS will be making its debut, nor whether it will see distribution in Malaysia.
