Key Differences Intel i9-14900 vs. i9-13900K?

I recently stumbled upon some info about the Intel Core i9-14900 and i9-13900K CPUs and I'm a bit confused about the differences between them. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Sure thing! Both of these processors have 24 core counts, 32 thread counts, and 36 MB L3 cache capacities. However, the i9-14900 has a base frequency of 2.00 GHz while the i9-13900K has a base frequency of 3.00 GHz. The main difference between them is that the i9-13900K supports overclocking. Also, both these CPUs offer PCIe 5.0 support and DDR5 with maximum stock speed of 5600 MHz.

Thanks for the information! But what about single-core turbo frequency? Does it differ?

You're welcome! Both the i9-14900 and i9-13900K have a max turbo frequency of 5.80 GHz for performance cores. But the i9-14900 has a base P-Core frequency of 2.00 GHz, whereas the i9-13900K has a base P-Core frequency of 3.00 GHz.

What about the P-Core Turbo Frequency?

Both processors have a max turbo P-core frequency of 5.40 GHz. So, it's pretty much same in that regard!

Have you checked out this TechReviewer article comparing these two CPUs? It might be helpful for you - Intel Core i9-14900 vs. Intel Core i9-13900K.

That sounds interesting! I'll definitely check it out. But can you give me a brief idea of the performance differences between the i9-14900 and i9-13900K?

Sure, both CPUs are excellent for gaming, general apps, and professional tools when using a high-performance cooler. The main difference is that the 13900K's higher base frequency provides better performance in applications that require sustained high frequencies. But if you're looking for a CPU for daily use or for tasks that aren't as resource-intensive, then the i9-14900 should serve you well.

That makes sense. I guess it comes down to my specific needs and budget. Thanks everyone for your help!
