I've been looking at getting a new CPU and I'm trying to decide between the Intel Core i9-14900 and the i9-12900. Can you give me some advice on which is better for gaming?

It's not just about the single-core max turbo frequency. The article Intel Core i9-14900 vs. Intel Core i9-12900
discusses how both CPUs have their strengths and weaknesses, so it really depends on your budget and specific needs.

I'll check it out. What about single-core max turbo frequencies? Does that matter for gaming?

Yeah, the single-core max turbo frequency is important for gaming performance. The i9-14900 has a 5.80 GHz frequency while the i9-12900 has a 5.10 GHz frequency. That extra .70 GHz could make a difference in some games.

Oh, interesting! So it sounds like the i9-14900 might be better for gaming due to its higher single-core max turbo frequency?
