Interestingly, the entries sport the same core architecture used in existing chips.

Right off the bat, the Core i9-14900K is a 24-core processor featuring 32 threads.

Putting this into perspective, the Core i7-13700K ships with eight P-cores and eight E-cores.

Intel decided not to go all out with the Core i7-14700K and only added four additional E-cores.

However, several sources indicate that the Core i9-14900K might ship with a 6-GHz boost clock.

A significant bump compared to the Core i9-13900K.

As spotted by Crossmark, the processors were running with 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory alongside theGeForce RTX 4090.

As per the benchmark results, the Core i9-14900K was 14% faster than the Core i7-14700K.

Notably, results for the Core i9-14900K and Core i7-14700K benchmarks were quite low compared to their counterparts.

Therefore, it’s not possible to compare their performance.

Granted, the results don’t depict the entries' capabilities and could be subject to change.

Intel could be looking at an October launch for the chips.
