Jacob Ridley thinks this is a perfectly good stand-in for a Core i9.

The Intel Core i7 14700K brings something genuinely new to the table. It offers four more E-cores than the Core i7 13700K, and it’s a touch faster, for a few pounds more. With tangible benefits and near-enough price parity, it’s arguably the only 14th-gen processor worth seeking out instead of the 13th-gen for your next PC build.
