Intel's 14th-generation CPUs are here to rule the roost as benchmarks highlight that the 6 GHz-touting Intel Core i9 14900K and KF are the fastest consumer-grade Intel CPUs to date. The 24-core Raptor Lake Refresh CPU builds on the reputation that the 13900K commanded as an excellent productivity-centric CPU thanks to its massive 32-thread number-crunching potential and high clocks that delivered some of the best gaming performance one could get on a gaming PC.
