6ghz
Knowing intel and their recent performance gains it just needs a small nuclear reactor as a PSU and liquid oxygen cooling for light desktop use.
the devil is in the words “up to 6ghz” it only gonna hit it with the requeriment that you said
I expect a huge boost to speed and then throttling back once temps get high enough.
LOL!
I9’s - 1000w powerdraw for guaranteed boosting capabilities.
Problem is, no thermal solution for this fire hazard is yet to be invented.
Hmmm I have a 1kw power supply and a d15, so maybe it’s time to upgrade from my still-amazing 9900k.
Buy our new stuff. Promise we didn’t fake numbers this time and/or make new security vulnerabilities.
security vulnerabilities
oof.
Honestly if there were a hardware manufacturer that didn’t have the intel management engine style functionality or AMD’s equivalent of it, I would build my next laptop with that even if if the base clock and shared cache was rated for half that amount.
System76 make linux-based computers, and they specifically ship them with the IME disabled. I know that’s not exactly what you ask for, but it’s similar in nature
I actually considered a thelios or whatever they call their desktop systems are called but, the fact that their motherboards don’t support liquid cooling blocks was a turn off for me. Id get a laptop but they are so very expensive. If only I had the money, it would be my first choice however. Certainly now that Linux gaming has become just as good if not even a better experience than on wendoze.
Comes with a free space heater too. Neat.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Intel is launching its 14th Gen desktop processors this week, promising boost frequencies of 6GHz out of the box for its flagship Core i9-14900K.
Known as Raptor Lake Refresh, Intel is maintaining pricing for its 14th Gen Core i9, i7, and i5 processors this year, sticking to the same retail pricing as the 13th Gen when these new chips launch on October 17th.
The 6GHz boost on the new Core i9-14900K makes it the “fastest desktop processor at volume,” according to Intel, referring to its special-edition 13900KS that first broke the 6GHz barrier at stock speeds last year but didn’t ship at volume.
These added efficiency cores should help with creator tasks and even gaming performance for titles that take advantage of multithreading.
Intel has some favorable benchmarks against AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X and even its own previous Core i7 chips for creator tasks, but we’ll have to wait and see how this new Core i7-14700K compares to AMD’s impressive 7800X3D chip for gaming benchmarks.
Intel is also supporting DDR5 5600 and DDR4 3200 memory speeds with its 14th Gen chips.

Remember when CPU’s / GPU’s had clockspeeds that didn’t include “up to”
I understand why it’s better net performance doing it this way and better uses the whole potential performance of the chip.
That still doesn’t make me like it, not because of the technical reasons, but because of the way they twist the marketing, it could hit 6ghz for 1 microsecond and they could still claim #nowupto6ghz!
