Intel Core i9-14900K and Intel Core i5-14600K review - With 6 GHz out of the box against AMD's X3D processors

Raptor Lake Part 2.

The competition to determine the fastest and all-around best gaming processor is now entering the next round. With today's introduction of the Intel Core i9-14900K, Intel sends a new top model for the 1700 socket into the race. Will this be able to challenge AMD? In addition, we will also be taking a closer look at the Intel Core i5-14600K, which might be the more attractive choice as a good midrange processor.

Against the expectations that it would introduce a new socket after two years, Intel continues to use the 1700 socket going into its 14th generation of the Core processors. The top model, the Intel Core i9-14900K, features a total of 24 native computing cores and 32 threads, which is the same as was already available in the Intel Core i9-13900K. But Intel has introduced some improvements in clock speeds that now reach the 6.0-GHz limit directly. We were also able to document this in our test, so these aren't only empty promises made by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, Intel hasn't made many changes to its power consumption, so at up to 253 watts, the new flagship is given the same PL2 value that we already know. If you additionally deactivate all the restrictions in the BIOS, its power consumption continues to significantly increase further, as we will see later in our test. In addition to the top model, we will also be taking a closer look at the Intel Core i5-14600K in this test. With 14 cores and 20 threads, it reaches the same numbers as the Intel Core i5-13600K. But Intel has also increased the clock speed on this model, in order to get slightly more performance from its P and E cores.

With that, we don't expect any greater jumps in performance, and Intel also hasn't changed anything about the basic CPU construction. At this point, Intel doesn't offer any counterpart to AMD's 3D V Cache technology, which allowed AMD to score significantly better in the recent past and put some pressure on its competitors.

The prices from Intel also show that we are on the same level here as during the launch of the Raptor Lake S models from last year. Due to the demand, which usually increases in the fourth quarter, it remains to be seen where the new models will actually end up. What also plays a role here (in Europe) is the Euro-to-Dollar exchange rate.

Small Improvements in Intel's 14th Gen Processors

In addition to the increased clock speeds, Intel also emphasizes the RAM speeds that are advertised, with XMP and up to 8,000 MT/s. However, in the past, these high clock speeds often led to problems with the working memory. This is probably also the reason for the main boards being redesigned, whose improvements are supposed to make it possible to reach these clock speeds. Intel itself clears the Intel Core i9-14900K for DDR5 5,600 MT/s. But in practice, using working memory with higher clock speeds creates no problems, even though the stability might suffer. A look at the QVL lists of the mainboard manufacturers shows which RAM modules are supported.

In addition, Intel increasingly banks on using AI, which is supposed to make overclocking easier in particular. The current version of the Intel Extreme Utility (XTU) supports this. With a single click, the whole system is analyzed to find the best settings in terms of voltage, multiplicator, and power target.

For this test, Intel has provided us with the Intel Core i9-14900K and the Intel Core i5-14600K. However, a glance at the table of the new processors will quickly show that the Intel Core i7-14700K is clearly the more interesting product of the series. The Core i7 is the only model to receive more cores, so its performance increase over the Intel Core i7-13700K should be significantly more extensive in direct comparison. We will try to also get a sample of that CPU to put through our tests.

Test Conditions - Z690 still usable after BIOS update

With the Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero, we are using the same basis for this test that we already used for the Alder Lake S and Raptor Lake S processors. However, based on the Z790 chipset, there are also redesigned mainboards that are supposed to squeeze an even higher performance from the processor with better overclocking features. But those who are not chasing records can also run the new 14th gen processors with a 600 series chipset. Before doing this, you should first download the corresponding BIOS from the mainboard manufacturer and update it. We first received a new BIOS version for the Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero from the manufacturer. We did not encounter any problems in terms of stability and RAM compatibility in our case.

All tests were run with the newest BIOS version (2802) and activated XMP profile. In addition, all the power limitations were deactivated to be able to get the full performance from the processors.

Processor Benchmarks

In our CPU tests, Intel was actually able to surpass the performance of the Intel Core i9-13900K - but at only 3 percentage points more in the averaged performance rating, the advantage of the Intel Core i9-14900K turns out to be very small. The Intel Core i5-14600K also placed ahead of the older Intel Core i5-13600K by a small distance. Compared to Alder Lake, the new Core-i5 model is able to compete with an Intel Core i9-12900K.

In comparison with AMD, the performance of the Ryzen 9 7950X was surpassed again, although the difference is also very small here and you wouldn't be able to call it a noticeable advantage. The smaller Intel Core i5-14600K was almost able to keep up with the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, and those two competitors were only separated by 6 % in our performance rating.

However, the performance differences turn out significantly higher depending on the test. All-in-all, we noted a clear single-core performance increase in the Intel Core i9-14900K, which can't be beaten with its 6 GHz.

Cinebench Results of the Intel Core i5-14600K

Core i9-14900K and Core i5-14600K vs. Cinebench R15 Multi Loop

For our first longer load test, we took a look at the processor's behavior during the Cinebench R15 constant loop. We initially saw a stable performance of all the models in our test. However, the Intel Core i9-14900K was unable to stay in first place. It takes a lot of effort to cool the CPU since the Intel Core i9-14900K is quite power-hungry, consuming up to 348 watts. As a result, the CPU repeatedly reached its thermal limit of 100 °C (212 °F), which also means that it only achieved the third-best result in our comparison.

With the Intel Core i5-14600K, we noted a minimally better result compared to the Intel Core i5-13600K, but the advantage was so small that we could credit it to measurement tolerances. Consuming slightly more than 180 watts, it is significantly easier to cool the Intel Core i5-13600K.

All the CPU tests were run under the same conditions, which also means that no power limits were defined in the BIOS.

After AMD was able to surpass the Intel Core i9-13900K with the Ryzen 9 7950X, now the tables are turned again, giving the advantage to Intel. But this advantage is also razor thin if we take a closer look at the results of the PCMark 10 benchmark.

Both Raptor Lake Refresh models passed the RAM tests with flying colors. With its installed DDR5-6000 RAM, the Intel Core i9-14900K was able to secure first place. AMD was surpassed significantly here, even though the clock speeds are the same.

Gaming Benchmarks

In earlier years, the performance throne was always occupied by Intel's processors when it came to gaming benchmarks. But with the introduction of the AM5 platform and 7000 series Ryzen CPUs, which are now also equipped with 3D V cache, the tables have turned. With its Core i9-14900K, Intel closes the gap a little to AMD, but it was still only sufficient for third place in our comparison. In terms of pure gaming performance, you are currently optimally equipped with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The new flagship from Intel came a small distance of about 10 percentage points behind. On the other hand, the Intel Core i9-14900K won the duel against the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X.

With the Intel Core i5-14600K, you currently also get a very powerful CPU that is able to surpass the Intel Core i7-13700K.
