  • Disappointing Performance-to-Price Ratio.
The Intel® Core™ i9-14900KS Desktop Processor arrives with much anticipation, boasting impressive specifications on paper. However, a closer examination reveals that this processor falls short of delivering the expected value for its price tag. At first glance, the i9-14900KS appears promising, with its high clock speeds and purported performance enhancements. However, when put to the test, it becomes evident that the marginal improvements over its predecessors do not justify the hefty price premium attached to it. One of the major drawbacks of the i9-14900KS is its lackluster performance gains in real-world scenarios. Despite the incremental upgrades in clock speeds and architecture, users may find that the difference in performance compared to previous generations is negligible in most tasks, from gaming to content creation. Moreover, the i9-14900KS faces stiff competition from rival processors, such as those from AMD's Ryzen lineup, which offer comparable performance at a more reasonable price point. In terms of value for money, the i9-14900KS simply does not measure up, as consumers can find better alternatives that provide similar or even superior performance without breaking the bank. Furthermore, the i9-14900KS's power consumption and thermal management remain areas of concern. Despite being marketed as a high-performance processor, it tends to run hot under heavy workloads, requiring robust cooling solutions to prevent thermal throttling and maintain stable operation. In conclusion, while the Intel® Core™ i9-14900KS Desktop Processor may appeal to enthusiasts seeking the latest and greatest hardware, its lack of significant performance improvements and unfavorable price-to-performance ratio makes it a hard sell for the average consumer. With more cost-effective options available on the market, investing in the i9-14900KS may not be the wisest decision for those looking to maximize their computing power without breaking the bank. ... show more

  • Complete garbage and a true waste of money -- nothing but frustration
Firstly, THANK YOU AMAZON for being the best, and backing a sincere return policy with compassion. I upgraded my HTPC, I go high end, really high end, and it was time for it. I wanted a system that could run a number of threads, virtual and otherwise. So I splurged on this, paying nearly $700 on the CPU alone. When I bought it, I had read MANY articles about instability for overclockers, yet this was supposed to be the best for overclocking and the last of its kind. For me, I have NO INTEREST in overclocking, in fact, why bother? No matter how hard you try, you are stressing the hardware beyond manufacturer ratings, which, no matter what you tell yourself, you are shortening its lifespan. .... For a performance that you really rarely need. If ever..... The reason I stress this is that it turns out, Intel decided to blame the motherboard manufacturers for the issues with these EVEN AT "STOCK" performance, but I'm here to tell you that is utterly FALSE. This is the "KS" series. so this is literally the HIGH END version of this CPU. By the time I bought this, there had already been a number of BIOS related updates and Intel published profiles for setting this up at a an acceptable stock performance. I had problems! I had sufficient cooling, and bought high end memory - but I was running it at base clock speeds and voltages. And had constant blue screens, and even data corruption on the hard drive. Of course the blame was passed on to memory. and it even appeared to be memory. So I ended up testing 3 other modules, different brands and speeds, and continued to have issues. The only thing that ever helped was to "dumb down" the bios settings, to a point that I was running the unit below its stock performance. In this time, (easily a month) there were TWO new bios updates, but those updates were profile changes to the board that I was already operating BELOW. This CPU averaged 84C even IDLE IN THE BIOS SCREEN! I had even rechecked (and of course had to re-do) the heat sink compund, but I can confirm it was applied correctly and had good coverage, as evidenced upon removal). Over the course of one month, I had to actually change BIOS settings to the point I was only stable running it at 4 cores. At one point, I could run it at 8 cores, and at another point I had it initially running on all cores. What does this tell you???? It tells you it had NOTHING to do with the Motherboard or the memory. Despite the fingerpointing you get into while trying to debug, its clear this processor degraded over time. I mean, running at 80C while doing nothing is a huge red flag! Over the course of a month, I went from full performace (unstable) to reduced cores at reduced voltages, and cooling profiles at 100% fixed for the entire month, and this junk degraded daily to the point it was unusable. Amazon thankfully accepted a return. Since the 14th and 13th gen both had similar complaints about their performance and stability, I went with a 12th gen KS, and guess what?!?!?!??!!? NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM AT ALL, with all the same memory and Motherboard as before. The only thing different is this garbage is gone. Intel deserves a -star, if I could give them that, I would. ... show more

  • Best CPU
I had several 14900KS samples from different batches, and the one from Amazon was AMAZING. Definitely the best binned CPU, and had SP scores above average, even for a KS. I've been using it for months now and performance has been top notch. CPU had excessive amounts of power, more than I need, but all that power means you're hardly ever pushing it. So, it stays nice and cool without pulling huge amounts of wattage. You have so much headroom that you can easily pull an aggressive undercoat, especially with the high quality silicon and great binning of a KS CPU. Rarely ever do i see this thing max out and hit thermal limit/throttle. In most games it barely even gets a chance to stretch its legs, and rarely do i ever see the temps even pass 70. Mostly it's between 45-60, and it idles around 30. Excellent CPU, definitely silicon lottery winner here, and the MC quality gives no issues with running DDR5 in excess of 7000. ... show more
