Intel®Core i9-14900KF 36M Cache Up to 6.00 GHz 24 Core 32 Threads Processor

The Intel BX8071514900KF is a desktop processor created for people who refuse to compromise on speed and responsiveness. It combines 24 physical cores and 32 threads, so your system can power through intensive projects such as 3D rendering, 4K video editing, and the latest AAA games while still handling background tasks like streaming or file transfers without slowing down.

Eighteen of those cores focus on sheer performance. The additional 16 cores prioritize efficiency, stepping in to manage lighter workloads and keep power consumption under control. When a game level loads or a complex timeline is scrubbed, Intel Thermal Velocity Boost lifts clock speeds as high as 6.0 GHz, delivering the burst of speed your work or play demands.

Builders who enjoy fine-tuning will appreciate that the processor is unlocked for overclocking. Pair it with DDR5 memory for bandwidth that reaches up to 5600 MT/s or keep a favorite DDR4 kit and build an upgrade path at your own pace. PCIe 5.0 support opens the door to next-generation graphics cards and storage, so you are set for future expansions.

This model requires a discrete graphics card because it lacks integrated graphics. It also ships without a cooler, giving you the freedom to select an air or liquid solution that matches your performance goals and acoustic preferences. Install it on an LGA 1700 motherboard, and you have a platform ready for competitive gaming rigs, professional content-creation workstations, or any build that thrives on raw processing power.
