Overview
SummaryThe Intel Core i9-14900 is a desktop processor with a hybrid 24-core layout (8 performance cores + 16 efficiency cores) and 32 threads, built on the Raptor Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2024. Clocks run from 2.0 GHz base to 5.8 GHz boost. A 36-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.9 MB per core). It addresses DDR5, DDR4 memory up to 192 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1700 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Deep Learning Boost, AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), AES-NI.
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Core i9-14900 scores 4,337 in single-core performance and 44,831 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 13,944 for overall performance, 35,212 for productivity performance, 32,464 for creator performance, 57,160 for engineering performance and 24,219 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,868 per core, 1,401 per thread and 690 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,730. Its performance index is 173, so its overall performance is 73% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
