Although Intel's 14th generation Core is only a speed-up upgraded version of the 13th generation, after all, the 13th generation itself is already very powerful, and the 14th generation is naturally more powerful. The desktop-level i9-14900K runs to 6GHz, and the top-end limited edition i9-14900KS will reach 6.2GHz. In notebooks, the new Core Ultra is only used in mainstream and thin and light notebooks. The 55WHX series used in top gaming notebooks is also the 14th generation. Currently, i7-14650HX, i7-14700HX, i7-14750HX, i9-14900HX and other models are known.
Now,The i9-14900HX appeared for the first time in the GeekBench database, confirming that it will have 8+1624 cores, 32 threads, 36MB level 3 cache, and the actual acceleration frequency reaches 5763MHz.
According to experience,This means that the highest core frequency of i9-14900HX should be able to reach 5.8GHz.
Compared with the 13th generation i9-13980HX/13950HX, this is 200MHz higher. Compared with the similarly named i9-13900HX, it is 400MHz higher, setting a new high.
The running scores at high frequency are naturally very good.GeekBench6 has a single-threaded score of 2998 and a multi-threaded score of 17937. Proper optimization will inevitably break through 3000 and 18,000 points respectively, surpassing any notebook processor, although the gap is not big.
Next, it depends on whether the FireRange series of AMD Zen5 architecture can overtake it. Of course, it will have to wait for more than a year and is expected to be seen at CES2025.
