So overall not even half a gen of upgrade and calling it a refresh itself is stretching it let alone as SKUs call it 14th gen.

And it's not even that long when we laughed to Skylake after Skylake after Skylake, here we go again.

And hey, the i7 got 4 more Atom cores! :laugh:

That's very northern-hemisphere-centric. Our Australian and Brazilian forum friends are now calculating additional A/C costs in fear.

It means 14900K can keep 6Ghz at 100'c while former can't.

Did you read article ?
According to kuroberu, the user who shared the Z790 ACE MAX motherboard screenshot, this feature is designed specifically for Intel’s 14th Gen Core CPUs. Wccftech, who have direct contact with the MSI motherboard team, clarified that this feature will also be accessible for 600 series motherboards.

Why Only Intel 14th? why Not 13th? This what I asked.

Rather bizarre to not include the i7-14700K in the package and making reviewers buy it separately, specially when it's the only one with some eyes on top of it, no clue why they could've done this

14700K would draw a lot of the spotlight away from the 14900K. It also got a real upgrade - more cores, and the other two did not - which could make them look silly.

Igor pictured the beast gulping electricity from the socket. Probably wanted to say something with it.

Intel’s 14. Generation as Raptor Lake Refresh in a kind of “Unboxing” | igor´sLAB

Unboxing is actually relatively uncool and also the main or secondary occupation of self-proclaimed influencers. So this is something that usually offers you no nutritional value, not even our readers…

Let me tell you something. What MSI did , They changed TjMax to 115'c for Intel 14th CPU , This implies that Intel 14th CPU doesn't throttle until 115C , while Intel 13th CPU does. If The number 115'c exists in every MB Bios , this means nothing but MSI does.
