An image purported to be the Intel Core i9-14900KS has surfaced, suggesting that Intel may replicate its previous year's announcement pattern at the upcoming 2024 International CES. During the 2023 event, Intel introduced its 65W 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" desktop processors, highlighting the Core i9-13900KS Limited Edition model for the enthusiast market. The i9-14900KS, if similar to its predecessor, could feature advancements in processor technology. Intel previously achieved a milestone with the launch of the world's first 6 GHz processor. The current i9-14900K already operates at this maximum boost frequency, raising questions about the enhancements the i9-14900KS will offer.

Speculations include a possible 6 GHz all-core boost for the P-cores or improvements that could surpass the performance of competitors like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D in gaming benchmarks. Further details are expected to be revealed at the next week's event in Las Vegas.
