Intel Core i9-14900 Box Processor - BX8071514900SRN3V

Intel Core i9-14900 is a 14th generation high-end desktop processor aimed at serious gaming and heavy multitasking scenarios. It operates at a base frequency of 2.0 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 5.8 GHz, providing excellent single-threaded performance for gaming and quick system response. The combination of 24 physical cores and 32 threads makes it strong in rendering, streaming, and professional applications. It comes in a Box variant with a cooler included, so you can start your configuration without additional investments in cooling if you are not aiming for maximum overclocking.

What you get

With the LGA 1700 platform and Raptor Lake core, you get compatibility with a wide range of motherboards and the ability to use both DDR4-3200 and DDR5-5600 memory – convenient if you are upgrading from an older build or want to go straight to DDR5. 36 MB cache helps the processor keep frequently used data close to the cores, reducing latency and improving the feeling of “snappy” performance in games and heavy applications. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 gives you the option to use the system without a discrete GPU – useful for office work, troubleshooting, or if you are still saving up for a graphics card. With a TDP of 65 W, you get a serious CPU that is not overly demanding on power and cooling under standard conditions, especially with the included cooler.
