Intel recently released a new fastest CPU – what you should know about the (Special Edition)

The Intel Core i9-14900KS sets new standards and aims to be the fastest CPU in the world. You can find all information on specs and prices here

When the crowbar is not enough, dynamite is needed: After Intel’s Core i9-14900K already made our tech editor Nils doubt the usefulness of some CPU developments (see video below), the manufacturer is going one better with a “Special Edition”.

Basically, the Core i9-14900KS only differs from the “regular” i9-14900K in two respects – you can find out what these are in the following overview.

The key data: The Core i9-14900KS is a processor with 24 cores or 32 threads, which in turn are divided into eight performance cores (P cores) and 16 efficiency cores (E cores).

The base clock rate of these P-cores remains unchanged compared to the i9-14900K, still at 3.2 gigahertz.

However, the maximum boost clock is increased: Two of the P-cores are “allowed” to clock up to 6.2 GHz; if all eight P-cores are operated simultaneously, they remain at the 5.9 GHz known from the 14900K.

This also results in a slightly higher TDP, which Intel specifies as 150 watts (instead of 125 watts). The maximum Turbo Boost should remain at 253 watts.

Intel’s recommended retail price for the Core i9-14900KS is around 770 euros, making it around 100 euros more expensive than its little brother.

The Intel Core i9-14900KS is here – what do you think of the new front-runner among Intel processors? Do you want to see clock records fall or do you think pure efficiency is more important? Let us know what you think in the comments below
