As many as you choose within the bios. From 30w all the way up to 4096,its up to you

Exact same footprint as the 13900K. So I would say, 300 to 350 W average when power limit restrictions are disabled.

Well... Its an improvement, more performance for the same amount of consumption...

Lets wait and see the review

Zen 3, any zen 3, is a way bigger heat exchanger than any 13th gen or zen 4. Match the performance and your zen 3 will consume double or even more wattage of the 14900k.

Still waiting to see a 5950x pull 400w like the new 14900k. LMFAO.

Is it a bad thing that you can make the 14900k - if you want - pull 400w? Why? Put it at the same power as the 5950x and it will decimate it in both performance and efficiency. I don't get what the issue is and you are probably not going to explain cause there ain't one.

I do understand the background of these unboxings, I simply don't like them personally since they don't give ME not a single benefit.

It was and is not my way to state something which I don't know, i.e., that all the outlets are “forced” to do unboxings or other stuff. It was simple curiosity with no intent to claim anything, unlike others in this thread already did......

It wont, it pulls 331 watt out of the box on stock power limits. If you think cutting it down from 331 watt to 105 watt is gonna barely affect its performance, then LMFAO.

You can cut it down to the same power limit you are running your 5950x and it will be much much faster is all im saying. If you don't think that's the case LMFAO.

Nope, not more performance. It's the same performance when both are unleashed and set to similar clocks. Any improvements are residual due to average binning quality/silicon characteristics but rest assured the 14900K is very much a volume production processor and as such, YMMV, greatly.

Well while this is true, if you give, say, a 7950X3D the 5950X's 180W power budget it's going to completely eclipse the Intel processor. This is something we can't really even keep up with until the CPUs are running in their full capacity.

Eclipse? I expect it to beat it by 10% in CBR23, that's basically the difference between the 7950x and the 13900k at same wattages. The 14900k might fare a little better

What I find the funniest is that Intel really means to go ahead with a full-size launch event for these things. I hope the media pans them for it.

The 14900K isn't a bad processor, it's just not a new processor, and this time, we didn't even get a coat of paint... it's the same old Raptor Lake we've seen struggling against Zen 4 for the chart toppers for a year now. Nothing new.

Yep, too much noise and the end result is usually mediocre at best. Worst of it, i can't shake it off and still hold on to some levels of excitement with released coming to market. Even AMDs at it with small incremental advances per generation and marketing antics which would have you believe otherwise. The X3D was a nice perk from AMD for gamers and the efficiency cores were a nice addition for Intel for specific workloads but outside of that everything else is just passable. Less noise would be better from both camps. As for 14th Gen... may the Lord help us. lol i just checked the power consumption and perf levels for gaming and moved on.

Reading by W1zz's review... its not even 0.5% faster than the 13900KS - when it's faster at all. Intel wins cinebench because of the E-cores, but otherwise, i think the Ryzen will find itself much more comfortable when power constrained.

This just isn't worthy of being called a generation, imo

Yep, a small marginal jump and some fine-tuning should have been symbolically tied around 13th Gen... something like 13950K or 13900Kandthensum (lol). To be honest, i'm not so fussed with the CPU side of things considering theres plenty of options and anything stemming from 12th Gen/Zen 3 and upwards is plenty for my personal use-case. I guess for me such blunders are forgivable but as for the GPU segment.... oh goodness, i'm still in protest! Definitely won't be investing on the much desired high-end offerings from either Green/Red camp.

It does not. There are no physical changes and there is no hardware revision, no new stepping. The extra L3 cache you are seeing is associated to the extra E-core cluster that the 14700K has. This is the only SKU where there has been a change, i7 went from 8P+8E to 8P+12E. The i5 and i9 are unchanged.

Well its a shared cache so it still helps even if not making use of those e-cores. Was just responding to a post saying there is no cache increase. But yeah from a cache to core ratio it is the same.
