Intel Core i9 14900KS Set for Imminent Launch as Europe's Retailers List New Gaming CPU

The upcoming 14900KS, Intel's fastest gaming chip, features a 6.2GHz boost clock and targets overclockers and enthusiasts.

Intel's upcoming Core i9 14900KS CPU has been listed at several European retailers, indicating an imminent launch.
The 14900KS is expected to be Intel's fastest gaming chip, with a maximum boost clock of 6.2GHz and a base power of 150W.
Retail listings suggest a price tag of around €768 ($699), which is $100 more than the Core i9 14900K.
The 14900KS is a limited-edition binned chip aimed at overclockers and enthusiasts, requiring high-end motherboards and cooling.
AMD is reportedly readying its Zen 5 CPU family for launch in the second quarter of 2024, potentially challenging the 14900KS's position.
