Intel's new Core i9-14900K and Core i5-14600K close the gap with the competition from AMD, but they provide little reason to jump ship.
Intel Core i9-14900K MSRP $590.00 Score Details “Intel's new 14th-gen processor bring improvements, but they don't break the mold.” Pros Cons There aren’t any surprises with the Intel’s new Core i9-14900K and Core i5-14600K. They’re the best Intel processors you can buy based on raw performance, and they do a lot to close the gap with AMD’s dominating gaming chips. But those hoping to find a major generational leap with Intel’s 14th-gen processors won’t find it.
These processors fit into Intel’s new Process-Architecture-Optimization release cadence, and it represents the optimization step. You’re getting the same Intel 7 node that debuted with 12th-gen chips like the Core i9-12900K but with all of the refinement of 13th-gen. It’s fair to ask what exactly is new here, though.
Test configurations I put together two test configurations, one for AMD’s Zen 4 platform and another for Intel’s LGA1700 socket. The BIOS version was current at the time of testing, including explicit support for Intel’s 14th-gen processors. For BIOS settings, I left everything at its default value short of XMP for Intel and EXPO for AMD, as well as Resizeable Bar on both platforms.
Thankfully, that lower performance doesn’t translate into real applications. As you can see in Handbrake, both the Core i9-14900K and Core i5-14600K managed to shave a few seconds off the encoding time compared to their last-gen counterparts. Intel already held an advantage over AMD in transcoding time, but the new chips push that even further.
Finally, in the web-based Jetstream 2 benchmark, the Core i9-14900K posted the highest score I’ve ever recorded. It’s 12% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X, which was the previous champ. Even the Core i5-14600K is faster than AMD’s fastest chip, showing Intel’s improvements in web-based applications. You wouldn’t know that looking at 3DMark Time Spy, though. The CPU score here shows the Core i9-14900K nearly 40% ahead of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, as well as 20% ahead of its last-gen counterpart. Intel has specific optimizations for 3DMark, so this test is heavily skewed in its favor.
Raw compute power of the CPU in games definitely favors Intel with its 14th-gen processor. A good way to see that is in LeelaChessZero, where graphics don’t play any role in performance. Once again, the Core i9-14900K posts the highest result, while the Core i5-14600K is close behind the Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
