The Intel Core i9-14901E, released in July 2024, is a desktop processor featuring 8 cores. It belongs to the Core i9 series and utilizes the Raptor Lake Refresh architecture with Socket 1700. With Intel Hyper-Threading, the core-count effectively doubles to 16 threads. The Core i9-14901E comes with 36 MB of L3 cache and operates at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz, with the ability to boost up to 5.6 GHz depending on the workload. Manufactured on a 10 nm production process by Intel, the transistor count remains undisclosed. The multiplier on the Core i9-14901E is locked, restricting its overclocking potential.

The Core i9-14901E 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 also includes the UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics solution.

Hardware virtualization is enabled on the Core i9-14901E, leading to a significant enhancement in virtual machine performance. Moreover, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is endorsed, allowing guest virtual machines to utilize host hardware directly. Applications that utilize Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will experience improved performance when running on this processor, especially for calculation-intensive tasks. In addition to AVX, Intel has integrated the newer AVX2 standard, while excluding AVX-512.
