Core i9 14900K on steroids. While the two CPUs share the same configuration in terms of number of cores and cache memory, the frequency differs. In fact, the KS is capable of 6.2 GHz, whereas the K is content with 6 GHz. However, this extra 200 MHz comes at the expense of increased power consumption and heating. Some leaks mention consumption of over 400W at voltages of 1.5 V!
The CPU has been on the market for some time now, and PC21.fr indicated that it was available for purchase not so long ago. This time, a Hong-Kong-based reseller is telling us when it will be available. As you can see, pre-orders are open until March 14
The CPU is also available for pre-order from other retailers, but can only be picked up in-store (caroussel.sg). The aim is to secure a CPU on launch day, thus avoiding possible D-day stock-outs.
Now, depending on the store, expect the price to be 19% to 30% higher, according to VideoCardz research.
