Our Intel Core i9 14900K review takes a look at the new arrival from the big blue chip maker to see if it's worth your green.
Raptor Lake ‘Refresh’ is right. There’s nothing too exciting here in comparison to 13th gen performance. Yes, expect better thermal efficiency and slightly better performance across the board. And yes, it’s another impressive CPU from Intel.
It’s not enough to convince us that it’s an essential arrival, but there may be greater differences further down the 14th gen range. The Core i9 14900K is very strong of course, but then so is the 13900K…and it may well be even cheaper now.
