The new Intel Core i9-14900KS processor is expected to go on sale around mid-March. However, it is clear that some retailers are not waiting for the end of the official sales embargo, as photos of the boxes and the processors themselves can already be found online.
Core i9-14900KS is a 24-core processor for the LGA1700 platform. It has 8 productive cores (P-Core) and 16 efficient cores (E-Core). The KS suffix stands for Special Edition, which in this case means higher clock speeds and increased power consumption.
The new processor will be able to reach a frequency of 6.2 GHz in automatic overclocking mode (6.0 GHz in the previous top model Core i9-14900K). However, for this, the operating voltage of the chip had to be increased. New data suggests that the Intel Core i9-14900KS needs 1,498 to reach a clock speed of 6.2 GHz. At the same time, the Processor Base Power indicator increased – from 125 W to 150 W.
Some users have already got their hands on the new Intel Core i9-14900KS processor and conducted some tests with it. It looks like the chip needs a new BIOS to unlock its full potential, but the user was already able to achieve a P-core SP (Silicon Prediction) score of 120 and an E-Core SP score of 67 points. In comparison, large-scale testing using the same methodology shows that the Core i9-14900K and Core i9-14900KF have a P-Core SP of 99.4 and 108.6 points, respectively. The E-Core SP value of the 14900KS turned out to be worse than that of the K and KF versions, which scored an average of 81.7 and 81 points. We should expect new processor test results to appear soon.
