Intel Core i9-14900KS Retail Package Pops Up in Vietnam

The existence of Intel's upcoming Core i9-14900KS processor has been confirmed by a series of insider leaks and premature retail listings—an "alleged" example was photographed and appeared online right at the start of 2024. French e-tail listings produced evidence of two packages—a traditional retail box version, and a barebones tray option for OEM purposes. Earlier today, the I_Leak_VN social media account uploaded proof of a single "Special Edition" box sitting in an unnamed Vietnamese warehouse—it is not immediately clear whether units have reached retail facilities, or have just arrived on Southeast Asian shores. The embargo-busting post seemingly corroborates global insider information/whispers about distribution networks receiving stock—possibly in preparation for a rumored mid-March launch. VideoCardz believes that Vietnamese customers will be paying roughly $765 a pop—30% pricier than the current cost of 14th Gen Core flagship ownership.

napataThat's why I liked PCGH as they always put Intel's CPUs at stock values so no unlimited power shennanigans.
If their CPUs "only sometimes" have the stated power consumption without the user having to change anything out of the box then those figures literally have no meaning, they are 100% fake as you put it, end of story. If those stock settings are only sometimes applied then they aren't "stock settings" at all, it makes no sense to even call them that.

AMD's discrepancy in power consumption exists but it's very consistent across a variety of motherboards and coolers. I challenge you to find a single modern AMD CPU which draws 200% more power than what they say it will out of the box with any motherboard or cooler.
