Ive not used an Intel CPU since leaving my 2700k behind for a Ryzen 3800x, but its interesting that Intel chose the mix of cores route for innovation rather than say stacking cache as AMD have done with the X3D chips.

I hope next gen will be way lower temperature and wattage, It's crazy

Water cooling will now be the new normal for top tier CPUs

If I lived in a really cold place, like Norway or Alaska, this would be my CPU!... 😀

Hotter than the sun

"average rated power of 330W... peaking at 410w". 😱

AMD's offerings still make more sense (to me). I don't see the issue with temps/power for my use, mostly gaming really.

The i9-14900KS exhibits a base TDP (PL1) of 150W, peaking at 410W, with an average rated power of 330W.

Holy nuclear cow!

Considering our energy prices are going up by 100 percent in just a few months, this thing would be just far too expensive to run for what it offers.

The 14900KS is for a very specialized group of users.https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMW1rbWplNWpnc3dodTluaWw5dDBxM21peHJiZXFrOHFxZjZ1emppeSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/eU2sRBEme4GIM/giphy.gif

One of my 14900KF's,I would say 14900KS could do better. Copy of a post I made on the forum Opps 14900KF Forgot I had LLC 6 on Asus Board 475 Watts before downclock and no crash lol. Had Temperature set to 115℃ and was seeing how many watts these 14900's can use.Just using AIO 360MM maybe need chiller or phase change https://forums.guru3d.com/attachments/475w-nuts-jpg.21652/

OC it and pair it up with a 4090. 2000w PSUs could be the norm one day.

Don't forget the cost of electricity - Norway is an excellent choice but I'd swap Alaska for North Dakota, which can sometimes be just as bitterly cold but it's often the cheapest state for electricity costs (whereas Alaska is surprisingly expensive). Also, just thought I'd throw this in here:

chispy:

This has been prove to be 100% fake , click and bait for views article. What i have heard from my sources in the industry is that there won't be a 14900KS as the silicon on the 14900K it's already 100% maxed out.

chispy:

Because i have worked with ASRock , Asus and Swiftech water cooling company and have deep contacts in the industry lol , you have no idea the things that i know 😉 but due to nda i cannot disclose names and a lot of information. Also been one of the Top extreme overclockers in the whole world helps me a lot. DudeYou dont have to be an asshole 🙄 if you don't know who i am it's not my problem. I'm just passing forward some info , that's all.

Hmmm.... Looks like I was right about my doubts. This is why you don't just simply trust people without any evidence of their credentials. I am acknowledging there is still time for Intel to step in and wipe this product off the map, but it seems to me at this rate, that's not happening.

Wow 9 years to upgrade. But it has to be said the 2700k was a terrific chip. I'm sure you had it running @5Ghz. So no need to upgrade for such a long time.

I got to tell you you are absolutely out of your league here and completely wrong on your assumptions. I find it very rude and insulting that you think that i have to prove anything to you , i don't have to ; ) so get off your high horse and stop with the i need credentials BS. You have no reason at all to try and damage my reputation. I do not care or give AF if you need credentials or not , stupidity 101 as it best right here. Everyone in the industry and here at Guru3d who has been long enough knows exactly who i am and what i have done and where i have worked except you !... ( pick and choose much ! ) As for the release of this bastard cpu i cannot comment since i'm strictly under nda ( enough said ). Will comment once the release of this cpu is done and my nda is over if i feel or want to. Very weird that you keep bashing me for credentials / proff and you could not find anything on the web , lier ! you did not search anything about me , if you did one of the first results will be of one of my interviews done by the overclocker magazine to me a long time ago. Proff you ask ? Page 6-7-8-9 long interview for your pleasure 😉 . Now search for swiftech reviews and you shall find some of my reviews that i wrote for them a very long time ago , go to hwbot and search my name , look for my sponsors ( was sponsor and worked with Intel , Asus , MSI , Swiftech , Klngpln ( also very good friend for over 20 years ) ( also ASRock is currently my only sponsor at the moment and i'm working with them right now ) i have been working on some motherboards to be release very soon by Asrock for a while now but again i'm under nda cannot talk about it yet until is release , you will see soon. https://issuu.com/theoverclocker/docs/theoverclocker_issue_23?viewMode=doublePage https://hwbot.org/user/chispy/ https://community.hwbot.org/topic/68939-swiftech-h220-complete-review-part-1-of-2/ https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/swiftech-komodo-r9_le-review-part-1-of-2.389139/ and plenty more reviews from me , again you lied and did not do any search on my background ( credentials as you called it . Nothing more to say to you ) You will stop the bashing and lack of respect for people like me who has been on this industry for 20+ years right now , got it ? or do i make you a little map ? With love: Chispy

if cant cook your food is not cpu or gpu for that matter.... was i reading that right 400+ watts? when i buy new CPU and if it intel still it get locked to pl1 and even that will get limited, what point of more efficient chip either cpu or gpu if just keep putting wattage up anyway?

Yeah i had it at 5ghz and with 16gb of RAM and a 1080Ti it was a beast of a rig but my work rotations were 12 weeks away and four weeks at home for a few years so just wasn't worth the upgrade time. Out that four weeks i was unwinding for the first week, holiday the second week, drunk for the third week then the last week was prep for going back to work.

the 14900KS needs 1.21 gigawatts Marty

The horse I'm riding ain't that high - I just think it's necessary to call people out when they're assertively making a bold statement. All I was saying is there's no compelling reason to believe you are more trustworthy than Hilbert. Considering you were wrong here despite your "insider knowledge", I would think it's you who is out of your league. As I said last time, if trust is to be earned, you need to be transparent. If you find it insulting that I can't just blindly trust you, I suggest you get a reality check.

Everyone in the industry and here at Guru3d who has been long enough knows exactly who i am and what i have done and where i have worked except you !... ( pick and choose much ! )

Exactly who you are, eh? I'm sure you could count on 1 hand the amount of people in these forums who, without looking it up, know your name, where you're from, where you've worked, your achievements, etc.

As for the release of this bastard cpu i cannot comment since i'm strictly under nda ( enough said ). Will comment once the release of this cpu is done and my nda is over if i feel or want to.

Yup, and I will prove to the world that I am Batman!

Very weird that you keep bashing me for credentials / proff and you could not find anything on the web , lier ! you did not search anything about me , if you did one of the first results will be of one of my interviews done by the overclocker magazine to me a long time ago. Proff you ask ?

As I pointed out in the comment I linked to: "I wouldn't even know you're one of the top overclockers because I have no idea how to even look you up beyond googling "chispy overclock", and that's assuming I would have a reason to do that. " So, even in doing that, there are few issues: First and most importantly: that search does not result in your magazine article. Again: how am I supposed to know to search for that? Secondly: the top result of searching "chispy overclocker magazine" results in a Guru3D article with only two people who commented. I wouldn't consider you being "well known" in that regard. Last but not least, I didn't find anything giving you credibility today, even if I search for you by your first and last name, with or without "chispy", with or without keywords like "Intel" or "ASRock".

look for my sponsors ( was sponsor and worked with Intel , Asus , MSI , Swiftech , Klngpln ( also very good friend for over 20 years ) ( also ASRock is currently my only sponsor at the moment and i'm working with them right now ) i have been working on some motherboards to be release very soon by Asrock for a while now but again i'm under nda cannot talk about it yet until is release , you will see soon.

Sponsorship means nothing about having internal knowledge. "Working on some motherboards" is interestingly vague, as it doesn't imply you have knowledge of to-be-released products. In any case, I anticipate your to-be-released info.

You will stop the bashing and lack of respect for people like me who has been on this industry for 20+ years right now , got it ? or do i make you a little map ?

I will stop when you actually give this community a reason to trust you. Writing on a bunch of forums and having your claim to fame over a decade ago are not compelling reasons for me to obey your trust.
