The Intel Core i9-14900F, released in January 2024, is a desktop processor featuring 24 cores and priced at. It belongs to the Core i9 series and utilizes the Raptor Lake Refresh architecture with Socket 1700. This processor supports Intel Hyper-Threading technology, effectively doubling the core-count of the P-Cores to a total of 32 threads. With 36 MB of L3 cache, the Core i9-14900F operates at a base frequency of 2000 MHz, but can boost up to 5.8 GHz depending on the workload. Manufactured on a 10 nm production process by Intel, the transistor count for the Core i9-14900F remains undisclosed. Additionally, the multiplier is locked on this processor, restricting its overclocking capabilities.

The Core i9-14900F has a TDP of 65 W, making it consume standard power levels for a contemporary PC. It is compatible with DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel interface. Additionally, it supports ECC memory, which is crucial for mission-critical systems to prevent data corruption. The processor utilizes a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection for communication with other system components. It is important to note that this processor does not include integrated graphics, so a separate graphics card is required.

The Core i9-14900F features hardware virtualization, enhancing the performance of virtual machines. Moreover, it supports IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough), allowing guest virtual machines to utilize host hardware directly. This processor is capable of running programs that utilize Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), resulting in improved performance for calculation-intensive applications. In addition to AVX, Intel has also incorporated the newer AVX2 standard, but not AVX-512.
