Product overview

Launched October 16, 2023 as part of Intel’s 14th‑gen Core (Raptor Lake Refresh) family, the Core i9‑14900KF is a 24‑core/32‑thread unlocked desktop CPU for LGA1700. It runs at a 3.2 GHz base with single‑core boost up to 6.0 GHz via Thermal Velocity Boost, supports both DDR5 and DDR4 memory, and offers CPU‑attached PCIe 5.0 (x16) plus 4.0 (x4) lanes for GPUs and storage on 700‑ and 600‑series motherboards.

Positioned in the enthusiast tier, it exists to deliver top‑end gaming and creator capability on Intel’s mainstream platform. Its high clocks and 8P+16E layout suit high‑refresh 1440p or GPU‑bound 4K gaming, and it’s comfortable with streaming, video editing, and heavy 3D rendering. Note: as an F‑suffix part, it lacks integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required.
