The Intel Core i9-14900KF is built for gamers and creators who want their desktop to keep pace with the heaviest workloads. Its combination of performance and efficient cores means it handles demanding games and creative applications without compromise. This is a processor for anyone building a high-end LGA1700 system who wants real muscle at its core.
Its performance cores push clock speeds high enough to keep frame rates strong even at the settings that tax a CPU hardest, so your graphics card is never left waiting on the processor. That headroom carries through to competitive games at high refresh rates as well as the heaviest open-world titles, keeping play smooth when a scene gets busy. It's a chip built to let your games run at the settings you want, not the settings your processor forces on you.

Socket
24 cores and 32 threads
A hybrid design of performance and efficient cores gives this processor the muscle for serious multitasking: rendering, encoding and streaming alongside your games without one slowing the other down. With 24 cores and 32 threads to call on, heavily threaded creative apps complete more quickly and your games stay responsive even with background tasks running. It is a processor built for people who use their PC for more than one thing at a time.
Unlocked and overclockable
This processor is unlocked, so you can push its already high frequencies further for even more performance. That gives enthusiasts and tuners room to extract more from the chip than its out-of-the-box speeds, on top of a processor that is already fast. It is a feature that pays off as you learn your system's limits and want to chase more performance over time.
What's in the box
You get the Intel Core i9-14900KF Unlocked Processor itself, with no CPU cooler included, so you'll want to pair it with your own. It's backed by a 3 year manufacturer's guarantee, so you're covered against defects well beyond the first months of use.
PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 support
Support for PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 memory means this processor is well set for years of component upgrades around it. As faster graphics cards, storage and memory arrive, your platform is ready to take advantage of them without needing to be replaced. It's a foundation you can build on rather than one you'll outgrow quickly.
