Intel's 14th generation CPU lineup is now out in the open and its flagship, the Intel Core i9 14900K, is muscling its way to the top as the successor to the Core i9 13900K with performance that essentially mirrors the limited-release Core i9 13900KS processor. Unlike the previous generation, Intel's newest CPUs do not come with a new chipset or socket iteration. Instead, they are compatible with Intel's older 600 and 700 series chipsets and motherboards.
