Intel Core i9-14900F vs. Intel Core i9-13900? Differences?

I've been looking at these two CPUs, the Intel Core i9-14900F and the Intel Core i9-13900, but can't seem to find a definitive comparison. Any advice on their differences?

Yeah, it's pretty much a toss-up between them. The 14900F has a higher single-core turbo frequency and PCIe support, while the 13900 doesn't have that extra GHz. You might want to check out this TechReviewer article for a more in-depth comparison Intel Core i9-14900F vs. Intel Core i9-13900.

Thanks, @MileHiMorrow, I'll definitely take a look at the article you mentioned. Just out of curiosity, what do you think about the lack of overclocking support on the 14900F?

Well, it's not so much an issue for me since I don't really need to push my system to its limits, but if you're looking to squeeze every bit of performance out of your hardware, having the ability to overclock can make a big difference.

That's true. It's always nice to have the option, but it really depends on what you plan to do with the CPU. For general use and gaming, most people won't notice much difference between these two models.

Thanks for your input, @Milkopilko and @MileHiMorrow. I guess I'll just read that TechReviewer article and make a decision based on the information there.

I've been using the 13900 in my new PC build, and it's running great! It's more than capable for my gaming and productivity needs. The extra PCIe support on the 14900F is nice, but I don't really need that for my current setup.

That's good to hear, @PorkChopHill. Yeah, it all comes down to your specific use case. If you're not doing heavy multitasking or intensive tasks, either of these CPUs will serve you well.

Sounds like I'm leaning towards the 13900 then. The lack of extra PCIe support isn't a big deal for me. Thanks again everyone for the input!
