How comes you got one from the US ? i have ordered a couple from over here and best one stays
All my best ones have come from the US, as UK stock has been a bit meh.

Saw der8auer's video earlier and was taken back by the 393w run in cinebench, gaming too is a eye opener, not any faster than the k but around 30-40% more power, will be fun to hear from ks owners if we get another 40c summer scorcher

14900KS on OCUK website now
Well, two things to note:
- Intel really has trouble keeping this thing cool.
- Apparently Intel have generously extended their warranty to cover de-lidding provided it is done by an OEMs.
TPU managed to beat that with their overclocked results:
Intel Core i9-14900KS Review - The Last of its Kind
The Intel Core i9-14900KS reaches impressive clock frequencies up to 6.2 GHz, which yields remarkable performance in applications and gaming. However, this comes at the cost of serious power consumption, especially if you go beyond stock, where we saw over 500 W during testing.

Is it my imagination or does this CPU seem much worse out of the box? It probably has to be heavily tuned and better have amazing SP scores otherwise it’s not worth it. If it is amazingly binned and you can undervolt it well, and maybe power limit it, then it may be worth it for a ‘regular’ use case. Otherwise a decent 14900K probably has stock voltages more in line with what that CPU should run at. They really red lined it this time!

Now, point #1 and point #2 are in no way related to each others as the #2 purely due to their own generosity!

That was also one of the test where the 7950X's power was the highest but still nearly twice as efficient at Blender!Intel Core i9-14900KS Review - The Last of its Kind

Not only has Intel beaten AMD, crushed them in fact by multiples of 3, but they have now also beaten Nvidia.
Impressive stuff...
Take that Greta!

These 2 make me go hmmm especially as if you are using this kind of kit you are almost certainly playing at 4K or 1440p unless an ultra competitive gamer doing 1080p at 200+ FPS/Hz.
Keeping in mind the price difference on some of those CPUs it is kind of silly.

Runs on Greta’s tears, which comes in handy as it requires water cooling.

14900GTlol

The thing with this is if with the 15'th gen they can get that down to 3 FPS per watt it will be deemed a huge success, purley because of how bad this is.
I don't think a lot of people really care as to power use. Performance and upfront affordability are far higher on most people's radars.

I thought the previous KS chips were pointless, but this one is an embarrassment.
I'm usually pretty open-minded on Intel chips, and at some price-points they are a good option. How much crack are you smoking to be choosing this though? (Apologies to RSR, I'm sure you're not smoking crack )
Is it purely for the hardcore OC crowd, or is this meant to be bought by "normal" customers?

Agree....
Those who are likely to actually buy one of these do not care enough about their power usage, apart from how it might implicate cooling, de-lidding, maybe another motherboard etc, to not buy one. For some they might even see it is a challenge to "tame the beast".
My 14700k, reducing the vcore and making sure the 253w max power draw is applied by the BIOS, by default they are not, it will typically pull around 65w in the game that I regularly play, whilst the GPU is pulling over 200w.

What game and resolution is that?My 14700k, reducing the vcore and making sure the 253w max power draw is applied by the BIOS, by default they are not, it will typically pull around 65w in the game that I regularly play, whilst the GPU is pulling over 200w.
Can you run the benchmark in CPU-Z please. I'm curious as to how a power limited 14700k fares.

Yes, these CPUs definitely require being power limited.Agree....

I undervolted my 14900K -0.0900v and tested stability and it is like 15c cooler using intel power limits.
I get similar power usage in games (perhaps a tiny bit more) than my Ryzen 7900X, but the idle power usage is so much better, around 10W! whereas the 7900X idled more like 30W, or so.
I'd say that's more efficient in some ways!

The game shown above is called WRSR, Workers and Resources Soviet Republic, city building type game. It is core dependant, perhaps around 3 cores, not really utilising the CPU as a whole.
I run at 4k and the GPU is a 4080.
For now it is running with 0.08v negative offset.
A Z690 board and DDR4.
@MartinPrince I guess you would want to see more than just this....?
believe it or not, I can't remember running the benchmark in CPU-Z, lol...!
@0121danwilliams84 - yes in games that I would play I am often pleasantly surprised at how little the CPU uses in watts, perhaps more so when compared to the GPU. I understand the headline will all be about the maximum possible wattage under the most extreme of conditions, but that does not reflect my use.
Thanks for posting what your 7900X typically will use, I didn't think that there would be much in it. Idle / low power usage accounts for a lot of what my PC seems to do these days. The Avatar game seems more multi core dependant, including the e-cores, so that will demand more power.
The Avatar game having the potential to be more demanding.....
Direct link for a bigger zoom....
Frame Rate lows not toggled for that screenshot.
