Overview
The Intel Core i9-14900F is Intel's flagship consumer desktop processor from the 14th Generation Raptor Lake lineup. With 24 cores (8 Performance + 16 Efficient) and 32 threads, it delivers exceptional multi-threaded throughput for gaming, content creation, streaming, and professional workloads. The Thermal Velocity Boost frequency reaches 5.8 GHz on the best cores. The F suffix denotes no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. Ships in retail Box packaging with a stock cooler included.
Performance
24 Cores / 32 Threads — Hybrid Architecture
8 P-cores boost to 5.4 GHz for demanding single-threaded tasks. 16 E-cores handle background and parallel workloads at up to 4.3 GHz. Intel Thread Director intelligently assigns tasks to the right core type.
5.8 GHz Thermal Velocity Boost
Turbo Boost Max 3.0 prioritises the two fastest cores at up to 5.6 GHz. Thermal Velocity Boost pushes the best core to 5.8 GHz when thermal headroom allows. Intel Adaptive Boost Technology extends multi-core boost frequencies further.
36 MB L3 Smart Cache + 32 MB L2
Large combined cache reduces memory latency for gaming and data-intensive workloads.
PCIe 5.0 & 4.0 — 20 Lanes
Full PCIe 5.0 support for the latest GPUs and NVMe SSDs. Configurations: 1x16+1x4 or 2x8+1x4. DMI 4.0 with 8 lanes.
Memory Support
Supports DDR4-SDRAM and DDR5-SDRAM in dual-channel configuration, up to 192 GB. Maximum memory bandwidth: 89.6 GB/s.
Graphics
No integrated graphics (F-series). A discrete graphics card is required.
