PC enthusiasts, rumble those engines – Intel’s beastly new Core i9-14900KS processor may roar onto shelves in as little as two weeks!
This souped up flagship CPU has been spotted at two Canadian retailers with a purported release date of March 13th. If true, we stand mere days away from the arrival of what could be 2023’s mightiest gaming chip.
But great power demands great sacrifice – namely to your bank account. Early pricing leaks point to the 9900KS costing a hefty $749 USD, nearly 20% pricier than even the premium Core i9-12900K.
Of course, tremendous performance justifies the towering cost. Rumored specs flaunt that the 14900KS can crank clock speeds up to a blistering 6.2 GHz thanks to Intel’s Tuned technology. We’re talking bare metal speeds once only possible with exotic cooling methods.
Pair that with next-gen Raptor Lake cores plus spicy DDR5 RAM support – you’ve got yourself a certified monster rig ready to smash frame rates and render videos in the blink of an eye.
Yet as models like the Ryzen 9 7950X prove, the i9 no longer stands uncontested as the champion of CPUs. The battle for the ultimate gaming processor crown rages hotter than ever in 2024.
So will the wicked-fast Core i9-14900KS dethrone AMD and cement itself as the new performance king when it likely drops on the Ides of March? Let the bench-marking commence! Our credit cards quiver in fearful anticipation.
