IT’S FAST BECOMING
Maximum PC Holiday issue tradition to go all-out with our cover build and put together the fastest machine possible. Perhaps it feels in keeping with the excess of the Holidays, or the fact that we’re more inclined to let the purse strings go, or we feel the need to reward ourselves.
Of course, it’s actually more to do with the fact that this is the time of year when Intel tends to release its latest top-end consumer CPUs, which we’re more than happy to pair with the other vanguard PC components of the day. This year, that’s the 14th generation Meteor Lake processor line, topped off by the $589 Core i9-14900K, which is the star of our cover build on page 16, and our lead review on page 74.
