Intel has again raised the bar in the desktop processor market with the launch of its new Intel Core 14th Gen i9-14900KS.
Right out of the box, without any overclocking, the processor can reach speeds of up to 6.2 gigahertz (GHz) max turbo frequency.

According to Intel, compared to its previous-gen processors, gamers can expect a 15 percent improvement with the new processor, while creators can expect up to a 73 percent boost in computer-intensive workflows compared to the competition.
The latest processor is compatible with Z790 and Z690 motherboards, with the latest BIOS recommended.
The i9-14900KS will hit the shelves on March 14th, 2024, for $699 (roughly $945 CAD). It will be available globally as a boxed processor and integrated into systems from Intel’s channel and OEM partners. You can learn more about it here.
