MSI is announcing today the brand-new Intel Core 14th gen processors that will be best paired with our recently launched MSI's Z790 MAX MEG Series, MPG Series, MAG Series, and PRO Series motherboards. MSI's Z790 MAX motherboards paired with Intel Core 14th-generation processors are here to succeed with more efficient computing from the last generation of processors.
Intel Core 14th gen processors are still built on their "Intel 7" Hybrid Architecture Process Technology but for the first time on the Intel Core 14th gen processors, the highest performance i9-14900K processors can hit up to 6 GHz thanks to Intel 's Thermal Velocity Boost. This CPU refresh also focuses on the Intel Core i7-14700K as it increases an additional 4 E-Cores that will help increase certain multithread workloads as well as an increase in L3 Cache across all processors. On launch, there will be six models available, which are the Intel Core i9-14900K, i9-14900KF, i7-14700K, i7-14700KF, i5-14600K and i5-14600KF.
Let us start with some of the main product features that MSI's Z790 MAX Series motherboards brings, for example, Wi-Fi 7 has been introduced for the next generation of wireless solutions. Wi-Fi 7 doubles the wireless networking speed compared to Wi-Fi 6E. It can boost its theoretical speeds to 5.8 Gbps and double the bandwidth from 160 MHz to 320 MHz, which will enable devices with Wi-Fi 7 to simultaneously send and receive data on different wireless channels without any bottlenecks. Wi-Fi 7 improves the QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) from 1024-QAM to 4096-QAM to help boost peak transmission rate and increase its network capacity. All MSI Z790 MAX Series motherboards embrace the highest Wi-Fi 7 standards that will provide users with a true wireless connectivity experience without any compromises.
With M.2 SSDs are getting more widely adopted, all MSI Z790 MAX Gaming motherboards will now come with full support for Gen 5 M.2 and PCIe slot speeds. Having such fast and blazing speeds, cooling the M.2 SSD is just as crucial as on high-end motherboards like MEG Z790 GODLIKE MAX and ACE MAX both have MSI's patented Screwless with Magnetic M.2 Shield Frozr.
The rest of the gaming model will still feature MSI's patented Screwless M.2 Shield Frozr and EZ M.2 clip for ease of installation.
There is also an all-new USB 4.0 PD100W Expansion Card that was introduced during Computex 2023 and it will be available in end of October as a bundle for MPG Z790 CARBON MAX WIFI. The USB 4.0 PD100W Expansion Card uses a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, offering two USB 4.0 ports and two DP 1.4 ports. The USB 4.0 not only provides high-speed connectivity at up to 40 Gbps but also supports a maximum of 100 W of Power Delivery with compatible devices.
To prepare for the new Intel Core 14th gen processors, previous MSI's 600 & 700 Series motherboard's BIOS will be ready to download at launch. Click here to learn more about MSI's Z790 MAX Series motherboards.
