Intel Core i9-14900F 36M Cache Up to 5.80GHz 24 Core 32 Threads Processor

The Intel BX8071514900F is a desktop processor built to push demanding applications, intense gaming sessions, and complex creative projects without breaking stride. It combines eight Performance cores that focus on heavily threaded tasks with sixteen Efficient cores that handle background work, giving you a total of 24 cores and 32 threads working in concert.

Clock speeds climb as high as 5.8 GHz when Thermal Velocity Boost engages, so tasks such as high-frame-rate gaming, real-time rendering, or large spreadsheet calculations finish faster. A 36 MB Intel Smart Cache helps the cores reach data quickly, keeping latency low even when the workload spikes.

Support for up to 192 GB of DDR5 memory at 5600 MT/s opens the door to rapid data access for editors who juggle large 4K video files or engineers who run simulation software. With PCIe 5.0 lanes on tap, the processor pairs naturally with the latest graphics cards and high-speed NVMe storage, ensuring that the rest of the system can keep up with the CPU.

The i9-14900F does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required—a natural fit for anyone already planning to install a powerful graphics card. Intel ships the Laminar RH1 cooler in the box, giving builders a straightforward way to manage temperatures from day one, though custom cooling solutions can be added for quieter or lower-temperature operation.

Whether you are a competitive gamer chasing every frame, a streamer who needs gameplay, chat, and encoding to run at once, or a professional creator moving between editing, rendering, and asset management, this processor offers the headroom to keep your workflow smooth. It installs in motherboards that use the LGA 1700 socket, making upgrades simple for many recent Intel platforms.
