Core i9-14900KS Delidded: Major Performance Gains

The upcoming processor showcases a 10C temperature drop and over 430W power consumption, setting a new standard for CPU performance.

Intel's upcoming Core i9-14900KS processor, set to launch on March 14, features a delidded version that shows a 10C temperature reduction and over 430W power consumption.
The processor, designed for enthusiasts and overclockers, boasts 24 cores and speeds of up to 6.2GHz, making it the fastest CPU frequency out of the box.
Delidding, which involves removing the IHS and applying liquid metal, results in significant temperature and power consumption improvements.
The Core i9-14900KS is the last high-end CPU for Intel's LGA 1700 socket and the final desktop CPU under the old Core branding.
Motherboard manufacturers, like Gigabyte, are preparing new high-end motherboards optimized for the 14900KS, indicating strong support for the processor's capabilities.
