Single-Core Supremacy
The standout revelation from the leaked benchmarks is the Core i9-14900KF’s jaw-dropping single-threaded performance. It clocked in at a remarkable 4,939 in PassMark, sending ripples of excitement through the tech community. To put this into perspective, its predecessor, the 13900K, managed a respectable 4,666—a performance boost of almost 6% for the 14900KF.
This surge in speed can be attributed to the processor’s impressive maximum boost speed, which effortlessly hits 6GHz straight out of the box. In contrast, the current Raptor Lake flagship, the 13900K, operates at a slightly lower 5.8GHz. This significant uptick in clock speed demonstrates Intel’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of single-core performance.
