There have been tons of leaks and rumors about the Intel Core i9-14900KS processor traveling around the tech world; Now those same rumors can confirm that we will have a release date, one that will arrive much sooner than you think.
The Intel Core i9-14900KS is expected to launch on March 14, 2024, according to a rumor reported by VideoCardz; This follows many leaks about the CPU being shipped to distributors and overclockers. The Core i9-14900KS is expected to be a minor upgrade to the Intel Core i9-14900K, with 24 cores and 32 threads based on 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core configurations, as well as having an improved clock speed of 6.2 GHz. in two cores.
Previous versions of the processors, the LGA-1700 platform, which includes the 13th generation Core series, will be eliminated little by little since Intel will switch to the LGA-1851 socket. It can be inferred that this card will have a retail price of $739, as the last two releases of the card were the same price.
This early release date could be bad news
Several points have been discussed above about the cost of all this speed and performance for the Intel Core i9-14900KS, and it's worth repeating that the cost will be power.
A previous leak indicated that the processor will use 410W of power, which is a huge amount, especially considering that it is expected to reach the increased clock speed of 6.2GHz using two cores instead of all eight cores.
And, as for how much more powerful this chip is, it's strange that the supposed pre-order is happening so soon. There is very little preparation for this processor, which is doubly important because generating hype for the products makes sense for generating business and this is supposed to be the replacement series for the 13th generation cards.
To be fair, as compelling as all this conjecture is, it's still just educated speculation. So until we receive official statements or announcements from Intel itself, none of these rumors and reports can be taken for granted. Hopefully Intel has more common sense than to release the Core i9-14900KS so soon and without much fanfare; Time will tell, of course.
