Intel Core i9-14900KS 6.2 GHz “Special Edition” CPU Pictured Ahead of Launch, Price Around $750

Intel's Core i9-14900KS "Special Edition" CPU smiles for the camera in the latest leak as we approach its launch next month.

The latest leak comes from I_Leak_VN who has acquired the pictures of the box packaging of the Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU. The chip itself was allegedly pictured last month and now we've under taste of this flagship chip which is heading out for launch next month.

There isn't much information to go by except for the fact that the Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU should come in a similar package as the existing Unlocked "14th Gen" CPUs. The package won't feature the stock cooler since that's not enough to cool this power-hungry behemoth and instead requires top-tier solutions such as custom-loop or 360/420mm AIO designs.

I_Leak_VN also reports that the pricing of the chip is going to be around $765 US in Vietnam so we can expect the $750 US price range for the global markets as revealed in yesterday's listing.

The Intel Core i9-14900KS Desktop CPU will feature the same 24 cores and 32 threads in an 8 P-Core & 16 E-Core config. The chip will feature 36 MB of L3 cache and 32 MB of L2 cache. As for clocks, the base frequency will be set at 3.2 GHz while the boost frequency will be set at 6.2 GHz, making this CPU the fastest-clocked chip on the planet. This is 200 MHz faster than the current fastest Core i9-13900KS and Core i9-14900K CPUs. The CPU will have a base TDP set at 150 Watts while the PL2 rating will be around 300W.
