Intel's 14th Gen Core Processors Launch Date Leaks
According to VideoCardz, we can look forward to Intel launching its next gen Core processor in the middle of next month, or at least some of them will launch then. As always when it comes to Intel and product launches, it appears to be a staggered launch, but this time around it's getting a bit strange. We checked with our sources to see if the proposed date by VideoCardz was indeed correct and were told that motherboards should be available later this month, largely due to Intel not offering a new chipset for the 14th Gen Core processors. This means the motherboard makers are free to launch their refreshed board for the the 14th Gen Core processors pretty much as they please.
The first CPUs that should launch are said to be the Core i9-14900K, Core i7-14700K and Core i5-14600K, as well as their KF counterparts. Advertising for these CPUs will kick off on the 16th of October followed by sales and reviews on the 17th of October, according to VideoCardz. The remaining Raptor Lake refresh CPUs are said to launch sometime in early 2024, most likely with a CES announcement followed by availability sometime in the first quarter. However, it appears that Intel will officially announce the Raptor Lake refresh processors during Intel Innovation 2023, which kicks off next week, on the 19th of September. Early performance leaks suggest that those with a recent CPU won't be overly tempted by these new chips from Intel and most consumers are better off waiting for Intel's move to a new socket next year, if they're looking at getting a new Intel based system.

EG1. I have.
My experience with Apex z690 > MSI unify X > Apex z790
12900k = barely did ddr5 6600 stable
12900ks = 6800 stable
13900k = 7600 stable
13900ks = 8000 stable
but, if you buy a non overclock motherboard just to turn on xmp with cheap memory kits.... you right... is all the same
New chips to be released in the future and/or future dates.
It's a "generation" in every sense of the word, it's just something to tell Intel shareholders that they released something this year. With Meteor Lake-S on desktop all but cancelled, Intel doesn't have any product to release this year. Essentially, if you purchased a i9-13900KS earlier this year, it was an early access 14900K, that's about it :)
I do not believe 14900K's will clock any better than 13900KS does, that remains to be seen of course but the preliminary benchmarks seem to place it identical in single-thread and slower in multi-thread (because it comes with the standard power limit instead of the 150W-type extended PL the 12900KS and 13900KS have). With this in mind, an eventual i9-14900KS seems particularly unlikely to be released, as they'd need to at least offer 6.2 GHz target and as we all know, it's inoperable without exotic cooling and heavy overvoltage even on the 13900KS.
