For the fastest chip ever to grace a gaming PC, the Intel Core i9 14900K is about as boring a CPU refresh as one could be. We’ve seen it all before. The massive core count, the architecture, the 6GHz clock speed; the 14900K might do some things better than the 13th gen but it rarely matters for much. That doesn’t make it any less of an awesome chip – it is – it just doesn’t push the needle forward much, if at all.
