#Intel #Corei9 #14900k
The real world power consumption (8 hours light use + 2 hours gaming) is really good addition to this review. I hope you keep do this to every CPU in the future.
4 hours gaming + 4 hours light use would be better
i hope to keep doing this too 😊
Come off it, this light use working day tends to be on an office not a gaming PC. Just putting the office PC to sleep when AFK changes the idle anyway.
Thank you! Definitely expect something similar in reviews where it really makes a difference like here. Suggestions are welcome too about other use cases. But thinking I might just make a tool/sheet for people to make a similar calculation based on their own use. Can't cover every use case though.
@RobBCactive I know that a lot of people use their gaming PC for work during the day. It won't apply to everyone, but it's not a niche case.
Nice review as always, however I think you should have added the 7800X3D as in some games it had shown to be faster than the 7950X3D, I would have also liked to see the 13900KS compared to the 14900K.
Take a peak into der8auer review, some of these cpu's are listed in his comparison
7800x3d is faster , yes she should have used this cpu and it's only $370.00
13900ks is the same as 14900k. There is one tech KZheadr that compare them
4k gaming well might aswel not bother with intel for 4k gaming then 10% is kinda shit lol Plus who runs 1440p 4k is where its at now don't need such a hot chip its full of hot air look at it 10% performance at 4k if it was 50% improvement fuck it might aswel not bother with a intel system if that's all its gonna pruduce 10% 4k boost lol yet the 7800x3d is the perfect 4k gaming cpu it's cheap and it works sure might lose 10%, lol but 10% is not worth the price for 4k might aswrl spend more money and get the 5090 when it shows face because bits stupid now 10% boost yet a 2k gpu may offer 50% boost it sucks to say this but £750 for a 10% 4k boost vs 2k for a 50% boost Is having both any better just to have 60% lol not realy just buy a gpu don't bother with cpus it's pointless they have reached there bottle neck for performance at 10% 4k next cpu 12% 4k next one 15% at 4k why bother
Can't test both tons of games and tons of CPUs, it's just not possible in a short time period. Make sure you're subscribed for the i7/r7 followup.
Good and honest review without resorting to hyperboles. I really appreciated the mixed workload approach to power consumption also as that is how most pcs are used.
Glad you think so, thank you!
Not a five minute job to do all these tests. Your amazing thank you for sharing your findings truly important for ua all.. thank you x
Basically lots of sleepless nights. Glad it’s appreciated! 👊
@@TechTesters Do you do all this tests alone? If you have no team and you pull threw alone then i tip my hat to you cause that is a lot of work.
Another great video.. I dont know how your channel does not have a million subs. So professional and cheerful all the time. cheers.
Thank you! 👊
Thank you for including deep dives in power consumption in all of your reviews. Lots of people may not care about them but it makes a real difference when one part is significantly more expensive to run while also being harder to cool for marginal improvements in performance. Especially for production work like in Blender, Intel is indeniably better in a lot of scenarios but the power required is so huge it makes it hard to like. Hoping the chiplet architecture comes to desktop from them soon, a low end meteor lake i5 apparently beats the 7640HS while using 15w instead of 45w so it's promising
There will be no meteor lake “i5” remember Intel changed their branding of CPUs to core 5.
@@somebodyrandom2800it's still the same thing. I believe their new marketing is however more misleading, because core count is a totally different thing than product line branding and I will refuse to say "core 5", when it's actually a 6+8 core configuration... It's just bad. They could have called it anything, yet chose "core", a word that already has a meaning.
Very detailed , this was very helpful
Wow, being a Dutch 4K gamer and light application user for the rest of the time makes this review absolutly amazing. Thank you so much for your work!
Thank you!
Love all the LEGO botanicals sets you use as props 😄
Great review in your usual informative, non-pretentious manner. Had to laugh about the last couple minutes though.... you were saying all the right things, but your tone, body language, and last few words were very telling of your real feelings about this product! Awesome! :)
Thank you! And I guess it was pretty obvious 😂
I feel like Intel judges the power consumption of their products based on whether their lights still come on and don't flicker in their facilities. If the lights still work properly then it's not consuming too much power 😂.
too funny🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yea funny, and Amd is using monkey on a bike generating power, lol
Beautiful as always!!!
This definitely is one of the best channels. It deserves more subscriptions than many other KZhead channels out there.
i have a 13900k already so i wont be bothering with an upgrade, hopefully next gen new socket will be way better next year, great review as always
Thank you! And I really hope so, they desperately need something on a better node :-/
@@N_N23296 you could be right, i read somewhere a while back the new socket was meant to be now so i feel like 14th gen could be intels way of doing a gap filler to give them more time to do "15th" gen
Always the first channel I come to for CPU reviews. Going up to 4k is really useful for some of us in terms of our real world use cases, and I seriously appreciate the time and effort you take to provide that info, thank you!
Always happy to hear it's appreciated, thank you!
May not be the first, but she is certainly in my video review suite.
Great review!! So happy with my 7950x3d now even more... especially when considering AM5 will last till 2026 and have at least 1 generation (maybe 2) of new cpu's
But you're 2% slower in gaming. How will you cope.
@@TechTesters i think with 4 bottles of Paulaner beer and a bottle of red wine... :P
@@acidxtrx9779 😋
@@TechTesters lol... probably when I take a look at my electricity bill :)
Mate, have you ever tried using project lasso?
7:03 is the reason i bought the 7950x3d, beast and i can upgrade easily in the next couple of years. I was always an Intel guy but they really are struggling with temp and manufacturing process and it drinks juice. I like how efficient the AMD chips are
Thank you for having the most straight forward display of new gpus and cpus.
Glad you think so, and thank you!
I like that more and more reviewers are testing a lot of games. It makes the outliers a lot less impactful. Back in the days people would benchmark 5-6 games and call it a day and a single outlier would skew the results a lot.
I do not understand how you do not have millions of subs. You are experienced, thorough, easy on the ears and easy on the eyes (just saying no offense, lol). Keep up the good videos!
It is a very competitive field now our days. Is not like the old days. You have to work for a lot of time and slowly fight for that subscribe number.
Real world power consumption was exactly the thing I missed in ALL other reviews!! Thank you very much for this. 7950x3d it is!!
Thank you for including 4k data! I hope next time you can include the 7800x3d as it is faster in gaming than the 7950x3d, specify the RAM you used and limit the power of the i9 to Intels official specs, as it is just draining power through most motherboards
I enjoy your reviews. Your English is excellent. How did you learn to speak English so well? Love the Netherlands!
Nice, another truthful review!🤓👍
Thank you! 👊
There are only two kinds of computer hardware reviews on KZhead: *Nada's* and everyone else's. You always take the time to compile and present all the information people need to make purchasing decisions, and it is much appreciated by all your viewers, everywhere!
Thanks for the compliments! And same to Garrus, nothing wrong with being mentioned in the same sentence as HUB either.
Techtesters, as always, thanks for your detailed honesty and helpfulness.
Great review, thank you.
Thanks! :D
Love the Thumbnail 😂👍🏽
I'm looking to have heavy use for 12+ hours, but I won't be unplugged much or for very long. The only thing I'm scared about with the intel is getting too hot in general.
Greetings from Belgium. Nice review. The cost per kwh is very useful:)
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the review. Did not know the power draw is that big. Btw. Any new monitor reviews around the corner? Could not find a single review thats detailed like yours. Still waiting for the perfect 4k display...
I have a few really nice monitors coming up! Not 4K but definitely interesting alternatives.
Thanks for the review! People may not care about power consumption, but like you said, the cost of the coolers, the trouble of worrying about your cooler and PSU being enough... That's meaningful to me, personally. I am biased since I care a lot about power consumption, though. And yeah, you can run this CPU cooler by tuning it. But if you lose any of that 3% gain over the 13900K, what's the point of spending more? So, I hope these are actually better-binned or better-built CPUs, where the efficiency lets you hit good performance even when undervolting or setting a lower wattage limit. Otherwise this really is just a higher factory overclock, which would be silly as the basis of an entire refresh line. The added E-cores lower down in the 14th gen CPU stack are the only stand-out thing that could make a large difference compared against 13th-gen. But that's not in every part, only a couple get more E-cores. Anyway, it's still going to be some time until Arrow Lake, so yeah, intel wants to stock those shelves with higher-priced CPUs for the holiday season... Oh well. Like you said, at least it doesn't perform worse than 13th gen. (Unless it turns out harder to tame to lower wattage than 13th gen, in which case it would actually be a worse product for me, since I care about efficiency. I doubt it, but those out-of-the-box numbers are actually concerning, so I'll believe it when I see someone try and tune them. I won't buy it just to mess around with it, I don't have extra money to waste on 3% performance gains or "for science".)
What I really appreciate in the review is the power consumption values at higher resolution, since independently of AMD or Intel, most reviewers just strap the power at 1080 normally with a 4090 , what does not represent actual use for more than 90% of the audience of those reviews. Going from almost 300 watts at 1080 to 160 at 4k is like halving the consumption . ps, I also advise anyone that buys either the 14900 or the 14700 to fiddle with the bios settings and limit power, particular in Asuss and MSI mb, and if possible undervolt , since apparently that will result in negligible performance loss (that can even be 0 at higher resolution) in exchange of temperature drops of up to 20 degrees and around 30% reduction in consumption.
Thanks! And undervolting will definitely be something to look into for this chip, but that'll require a lot more time that you just don't have pre launch.
Great review!
Thank you!
Solid, honest review.
Thank you!
damn Amd and the power efficiency
URRAAA for Intel I9 14900K i bought the I9 14900KF and i don't regret it is a powerful CPU, everything i throw at it, it goes so smooth and with 128gb of ram what doesn't lol keep up the good work on this videos of urs
So glad I went with AMD. That power consumption is just insane
That's something broke people say.
@@TronTonics run it for more than 60 hours non stop.
Even tho I don't like the current AMD gen. It's indeed way more efficient than this Intel gen. I did hope it'd be better. Kinda sucks.
@@Helios.vfx. For gaming, you really can’t beat the 7800X3D for 349 on Amazon. I think it went back up tho
@@TronTonics That’s a very intelligent comment, you really got me there
Awesome review! That's a lot of games tested! Thank you for including the 4K benchmark. I don't care what others say that there is a GPU bottleneck at this resolution. I game at 4K 240Hz and I like to see how different CPUs perform at this resolution on a variety of games. 👍 I'm still on a Ryzen 9 5950X and RTX 3090 and have no plans upgrading anytime soon. I thought I might go Intel on my next build seeing how good in performed and even beating AMDs current best.... until I saw how much power it needed to consume to achieve those FPS. 😅 Keep up the hard work! You're my favorite female tech reviewer! 😘
Thank you! And happy that the 1440p/4K stuff is appreciated too!
hi there- I like your video but just some feedback I bought the i9 14 and it is a noticeable upgrade to my i9 13 when I play CPU strapped virtual reality Sin racing titles on this Pimax Crystal headset… iso muvh more responsive and much smoother a…especially when you are spinning out it seems to sync up an extra couple of frames in that quarter sec and it feels less nauseating. It’s generally smoother when you look to the side and see other cars and scenery as well. Everything is running stock, so just giving you my thoughts about it. I’m obviously not affiliated with Intel and I I’m definitely gonna go with the full AMD in my next build …using asus hero maximus and 4090 latest speed/latency ddr5. Anyway, just wondering your thoughts because I realize that the frame rate differences are the same across bench test - do you think it’s the VR? Latency and frame rate improvements.
Thanks for the power consumption benchmarks.
Ridiculous that they got these things to market with those power consumption results wow. I'm still rocking my 9700k at 5ghz and now feeling the upgrade pressure from games. I think I may go AMD for my first time ever.
This was the most positive and rational review of these CPUs! I agree that they should have called them 13th gen refresh with a different suffix letter. They are still good CPUs but compared to the previous they aren't the jump we expected. Best part about these CPUs releasing is they will make 13th gen cheaper!
Not sure if it's "positive", but I'm glad you think it's rational :D
compared to every other review I've seen this is crazy positive! @@TechTesters
Great review
Thanks!
Lower then expected % gains over typical previous gen refresh while also consuming more power that’s just insane
Interesting video! 😀🤘🏼
Thank you!
Power draw seems a bit scary on these newer Intel chips - and not just on the i9. I just upgraded from a 12600K to a 14700KF yesterday and with default BIOS settings and no OCing whatsoever, that thing drew up to 330 Watts peak in one CPU benchmark. Cinebench 24 wasn't quite as ludicrous but still pretty ludicrous at 270 to 300W. Since I'm on a 240mm AiO and not about to upgrade to a 360 just to run benchmarks, I went into the BIOS and reduced PL1 and PL2 to 253W (default on my board was 4000-something/no limits) and things got a lot more manageable with temps staying below 80°C - and performance only dropped very slightly in CPU benchmarks. Funny thing is that, according to XTU, going higher on the power-limits didn't result in performance gains. I let XTU set PL1/2 to 300W and max current to 400A ("quick auto optimization") and according to XTU's internal benchmark, results were identical to the lower, 253W, setting. Temps and power-draw went up though, so I just left it there and slightly raised the current limit to 360A. Even at the medium, 288 or 285W preset on my board, max current would've been 500A. Should've done a bit more reading, I guess, since I never had anything faster than i5 level of performance.. :D
Is that below 80°C in gaming or even benchmark? I'm thinking about getting the i9 or 7950x3d and basically for the i9 I'm afraid of thermals (have good airflow and meshed side panel with the option for extra fans supplying straight fresh air to the radiator), but only space for 240mm AIO. And for the 7950x3d I am afraid of Ram compatibility, as it seems that it struggles with high clock speeds and potentially high capacity. And I want 96GBs of DDR5-6000
What were your temps on stock for the 14700K whilst gaming roughly?
Really good, really thorough review. The power consumption part is a very good thing to point out. It's why I opted to go AMD as I use my PC mostly for gaming and art creation. All my light tasks, I use my laptop or phone for.
So the 7950x3D would be a better choice for video editing+gaming+recording+streaming pc? (I mainly play Fortnite)
Yaptığınız inceleme için çok teşekkür ederiz. Türkiye'den selam gönderiyorum. 👏
👋
First off amazing video! I’m building a 14900k with the RTX 4090 and need a monitor. I do edit in davinci resolve and game also. I need a monitor! What do you recommend/ what monitor was tested here?
Thanks! Really hard to say, the perfect monitor still doesn't exist. OLED is great for gaming, but there are still burn-in concerns. I love my LG 38GN950 for work, but the plain IPS contrast is disappointing in games vs modern OLED panels.
Hi. I want to build a pc: i cant choose between intel 14 gen i7 or i9 and amd 7900x or higher. Main purpose is application development( heavy workloads). I also want to game: i play most of time batlefield 2042. What do you recommend? And wich gpu with the ryzen? Thnkyou
Want to change my 10700K for 14TH Gen or 7950X3D, but but I'm totally lost in my choice. I do video editing, photo editing, gaming in 4k and 1440P with a 3080 and streaming on Twitch. I have a custom water cooling circuit with a 480mm rad. Temperature is not a problem. I play around 2 hours a day and 2 hours of retouching etc. What would you do in my place? Knowing that at around 100€ the two options are similar. Thanks for your great review, you win a new sub 🙂
Both are very good at both, it'll really come down to how many hours of on-time / light use time you'll do as well (where Intel wins a bit), and how much your power costs as well (AMD becoming relatively more interesting as power rates go up). Also going AM5 will let you upgrade your CPU next year, maybe even in two years. 14th gen will mean a future upgrade will require a new board. But I don't really think there is a wrong option there either.
I know it's not something that is standard, but did you set PL1/2 in the bios? As far as I could see the motherboard provides more than recommended power for the cpu
I didn't set any manual limits no. Which is how most boards will act out of the box. Technically Intel lists an unlimited target somewhere in their docs as well iirc.
Perfect closing statement!! Which translates to, We as consumers basically lose😢
Not sure if we lose, but doesn't feel like we won anything either.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hello Techtesters, as per this the Amd 7950x3d looks more convincing, but have also heard the amd v cache still has many stability issues as it get confused when to use v cache and when not... I mostly do gaming and my intel 8th gen is still working very well so planning for 15th gen upgrade but looking at such power consumption it is now confusing to go with intel
Think my 12700KF and 12900KF are safe. I love all the testing you've done.
For Arrow Lake, Panther Lake and later, I would rather like to see a drastically reduced power consumption in all workloads and reduction of both PL1 and PL2 boost power at the same performance, in the sake of efficiency. Idle: SoC tile only. Full performance all tile on only at TDP.
With 15th gen for desktop including the new AI NPU's, that is very likely. But for the desktop version of 15th gen, you'll have to wait until October 2024, as they're only being released in for mobile (laptops) as of today.
I think it would be interesting to also see the performance impact on games that are heavily modded and a little older, such as Skyrim
Nice to see RDR 2 at 121fps in 4k. I remember that game used to be one of the major tests for graphic cards when it first came out.
Interessant om te zien dat de i9-14900K niet heel erg verschilt van de i9-13900K in gaming performance, maar qua power consumption wel aanzienlijk groter is. Ik ben benieuwd naar je i5 14600K review, want ik zat eraan te denken om een i5 13600K CPU te kopen, maar aangezien nu de 14th-gen Intel CPUs zijn aangekomen, ben ik benieuwd naar de verschillen. Mijn huidige CPU is een i5 6600K, dus tijd om te upgraden, haha.
Soon! 😅
You know there’s a problem when a chip potentially draws more power than my 3080ti Xc3 Ultra with a 104% power limit 🤣
And my pc with games 3070 + 12600k control 1440p showing 330watts. XDDDD Intel really suck..😂
It's a feature, not a bug 😅
HI thanks for content! Can you add rust to tests?
Thanks! I'll see about Rust, no promises though as we just added a bunch of new games :)
So for flight simulator it’s better to buy AMD, correct ?
Ready for winter
So, the first stock 6ghz CPU that actually maintains those 6ghz for more than 5 seconds. For someone who has been waiting for thos mythical 6-11ghz Pentiums back then, this is nice to see ^^
They have that going for them I guess. 😅
? I think you dont understand my only semi serious comment on Intel reaching their 6ghz goal which they wanted to have reached over 15 years ago xD@@N_N23296
I got 6GHZ on a Quad core back in 2007... for like five seconds during a bios overclock using the stock intel CPU cooler, until my entire system bricked as a result.
Hey SSD QUEEN 👑 i want to know which SSD, how TB, model and brand u used for this test bcuz i am planning from long time to buy ssd for games. and tell also much all 35 games total size.
I'm using the Transcend 250 4TB drives for the game library. Not sure exactly how much space the games take together, but it's close to 3.5TB iirc.
Thanks for including higher res as most people will not be gaming on 1080p especially with a 4090. I went with a 13900K a few months ago as I knew the 14th gen wasn't going to be much of a change and will be at a higher price as well. Intel isn't going to discount the 13th gen that much as that will alienate their 14th gen CPUs which would be a nightmare for them. I wanted to initially go with a 7800X3D or 7950X3D but I wanted to run faster DDR5 ram speeds. AMD was having issues with their RAM this year as well so I just didn't want to deal with it even though I like their lower power usage vs Intel which I'm not a fan of. It was just a little more to get a 13900K for me over the 7800X3D and when you balance out the higher cost of the M/B + RAM overall for AMD it was around $75 more to go Intel. The 7950X3D is a much more expensive CPU and I didn't want to pay that much to have less gaming performance than the 7800X3D.
Your charts don't show colour bar identification. Although, power draw on idle was something I didn't know.
Did 7800 x3d frightened you?
great review as always i think this 14gen is bad as the 11gen if the rumors are true than the amd's Next gen would dominate Intel so bad
How is this a new generational lineup?
i9 14900K_Best air cooler Kaun sa lagaen ji
Power cost really isn't the biggest concern where I live... it's the heat. X3D chips getting the same or better performance but also being 10-15C cooler when gaming is why my boys are running AMD. Performance per degree Celsius is my biggest concern with multiple gaming systems in the same room here in AZ.
What your favorite Fallout ? Thanks for your great content, someone should take notes :P
Fallout 3 👌
I say that the 14th gen is not an update option if you have the 12nd or 13rd gen. I see that you use an ASUS motherboard, have you disabled their AI Overclock ? I had mine on and it made the cpu draw up to 450W in very small bursts and push all P-cores to 5.8Ghz. After I have disabled it the max power draw doesn't go over 300W at all and it's cooler. I use the system for software development, mostly Electron apps. Soon I will get a 4070ti and will try some games, I am really curios how much power will it draw at 3440x1440.
Definitely not an upgrade worth spending a lot on, only if you're on older stuff and need the upgrade. And we don't test with AI Overclock, it's not a default option and it'd just be another variable.
@@TechTesters My mobo, ROG STRIX Z690-G GAMING WIFI, came with the AI OC enabled by default, had to disable it after I saw the high power usage and high temps
Impressive review. I felt this was way more informative than what i saw from Jay or Steve. Good to see 36 game benchmarks instead of cherry picking a few. Thank you for your thoroughness!
I don't think Intel can get the technical fastest gaming CPU award, The difference is just too small so it simply depends on review methodology, game list and if you include the 7800x3D in your review.
We’ll see what happens soon. R7/i7 are up next.
@@TechTesters thanks, can't wait to see the review.
First of all, I love the amount of test you do. That is why I always watch your reviews. Second, i wonder why did they even bother releasing these CPU. Mah 🤔
They couldn't even improve the power consumption. Jesus.
Thank you! And I don't know either, this shouldn't have been a new gen.
Its just like Haswell and Haswell refresh in 2013-2014.
Processor work wonders on ck3 used to take 5 minutes to load now it under 30 seconds with over 100 mods
If " a750 and rtx 3050 is the same prize..which one is good choice considering cuda cores, driver optimization,future supports etc. I will do graphics disign using photoshop,illustrator,maya,blender,3ds max...Thanks.
3050 is by far the safer choice. But if you can get a higher end Nvidia card I would definitely try to do so.
Higher memory speed support is one important advantage with the 14900K.
They first said that during the briefing? Mentioning ddr5-6000 as the standard. But then the final specs still list 5600. We’ll have to see if there really is any difference or not.
This surely gives the AMD FX-9590 a run for its money!
At least this has competitive performance 😅
7800x3D should be included. It is faster than both on average (7950X3D has core parking problems) and in a lot of games significantly better. The best gaming cpu to date no doubt also for the fantastic price. Period.
LOL, for real. I'm really thinking about buying a 7950x3d to see if I could optimize it to work as well as a 7800x3d. I also understand you need to go by out of the box performance for a review but the 7950x3d needs some tweaking and that is what makes pc gaming fun and rewarding. FYI: I currently own a 7800x3d and I LOVE it.
@@OrlandoCabaIf you want the 7950x3D to be better youll need process lasso, which is pretty simple to setup
Physically impossible to test more CPUs with this many games/resolutions before a launch. Make sure you’re subscribed for the follow ups that will ft the i7, r7, etc
My first reaction was 370 Watts?! Ridiculous! Then I realized that my GPU uses more than that... This is aweful. I feel like 150 for CPU and 220 for GPU is my max in the future. Things are just too difficult to keep cool and quiet.
Yeah buy most GPUs at least scale well with their performance as well.
It's much more difficult to cool a CPU because of how tiny the die is. It simply can't transfer heat fast enough to the IHS. A 240mm radiator can easily keep a 450W GPU under 70℃ but not even a 420mm radiator would be able to keep a 450W CPU from reaching 100℃ and thermal throttling.
Would love to have seen more CPU heavy games like Factorio or perhaps even Modded Minecraft
I might add Factorio when that whole CPU bench debate in that game gets figured out, seems like people are having some conflicting ideas about that game atm.
Were those power consumption figures Intel figures, or did you leave Asus Muliticore Enhancement on? ... Asus Muliticore Enhancement boosts power above Intel power specs.
Power consumption is the main reason I just built my first AMD since the DX2-80.
What is DX2-80? I never heard it before. Maybe I too young because my first build is AM2+ socket with athlon X2 BE 2400
😂 That's a VERY long term customer Intel just lost then. @arx117 486 era, basically the stone age at this point.
Great stuff! I think Intel is in trouble with AMD's next version. But it's nice to see AMD forcing competition.
At this point we need Intel making better cpus or Amd will become Intel from 7 years ago
@@PsicologoGeek Intel goes low and sucks, Nvidia buys them up and down to only 2 players in the field ;). Haha. Worse case.
im building a PC and i just puchased a rog stix 4090 and intel 14900k. I was going to get the 360 kracken elite AIO and 10 lian li infinity fans. I plan to buy the lian li 011 dynamic evo case. Do you think that will be enough to keep temps under 80? I see so many builds with this so figured it would be fine, but I've seen mixed opinions. I plan to use my PC for gaming and streaming. Eventually i will edit videos for youtube, but for now gaming and streaming. Would appreciate your feedback!
It should be fine. Gaming CPU temps should be under 80C generally, CPU workload under 80C isn't going to happen unless you limit the power draw (~253W Intel Spec should be easy enough, 350W+ is going to run any regular AIO at its limits). It's also not horrible if it runs a bit hotter than that.
Thank you so much for your response. Needed the peace of mind. I will continue with my build. Any advice on ram? I just purchased gskill trident 7200mhz 48g 2 sticks. How do you go about limiting the power draw? Do you have a video on that? Is it necessary with my build and what I plan to do? Whats the max temp for the 14900k that I should be concerned about if it goes over?@@TechTesters
i9_14900K प्रोसेसर के लिए कौन सा एयर कूलर बेस्ट रहेगा
Thanks!
Thank you! ☺
An extra 30$ a year is not significantly more expensive to run also intel idles at a lower wattage than amd, so while it does consume significantly more power when boosting overall it is more efficient.
Miss Techtester, what's the deference between the 13900KS vs 14900K? Numbers looks the same. I wonder what's the upgrade with those two? Thank u
Maybe 1%? Except the 14900K should be a bit cheaper making the 13900KS now pointless to buy.
@@TechTesters thanks
I have to agree with Moore's Law is Dead and his video from last night.....Arrow Lake better be a STUNNING improvement. We already know they are going to get a huge boost from using either TSMC 3nm or their 20A (2nm) process; depending on which leak is correct I guess. But dropping hyperthreading.....AMD hasn't done that. AMD has some great products out now, but Intel needs to stay competitive so as not to have another "Kaby Lake" situation, but with the companies switched this time. Thanks for the review.
Considering they basically skipped a generation now since this are just rehashes of improved silicon then they better be working on something good since they need so much time. TSMC 3nm though isn't proving that great if we go by the new iphone chip. The 3nm didn't show much improvement for consumption and power on that chip. Most improvement came from the architecture improvements. I also heard TSMC is still struggling with their 3nm both on yield and make it perform as it wants. If Intel isn't doing anything better with their 20A then things aren't looking good but if they are then that may give them that extra card they need against AMD since after AMD sold their faps they have no alternative other than TSMC(there's Samsung also but those guys are even worse). AMD better be praying TSMC gets on top of their 3nm issues until their next launch.
Actually, you can reduce maximum power consumption significantly without losing performance by approriately adjusting LLC and AC/DC loadline. If you do so, 12900K, 13900K, and 14900K turn into efficient CPUs for light and moderately demanding tasks owing to their number of e-cores.
You can definitely tweak them for improvements, might be something for follow up content. But 10nm Intel won't magically outperform 5nm TSMC/AMD in terms of efficiency.
@@TechTesters I agree. That's certainly correct at such a general level, and I was not contesting such a general statement in any way. I qualified situations/use cases where 12/3/4900K can become efficient. Let me elaborate what I suggested a bit more: a voltage curve tuned 12/3/4900K can be efficient in such a situation as processing light-load tasks in the foreground and processing moderate or somewhat heavier tasks in the background, leaving them to e-cores. For instance, you may work on a WORD document while converting your PPT slide into an .mp4 file in the background. You may browse the web while running an app in the background that performs demanding calculation on data constantly received from an external source.
Heya. How does the 7950x3D compare with 7950x as far as power consumption?
I think that question should be answered well in my original 7950X3D launch review!
@@TechTestersYep saw that soon after. Thanks for all your work!!
If you were upgrading from 9700k what works you get. Price not an issue. 14900k or AMD 7950X3D?
Buy depending on your use case / power cost. I think the 7950X3D is generally the way to go. Both are super fast, sometimes Intel a bit faster, sometimes AMD a bit faster, etc. But AMD runs so much more efficient and you need less of an overkill cooler. If you use your CPU for work and gaming a lot, AMD makes sense imho. But if you use your PC all day every day for light work, and then only game / do heavy work a little bit, Intel will make more sense. Either way you're in for a big upgrade :)
