Intel Core i9-14900KF 6 GHz CPU Benchmarks Leak Out: Up To 20% Faster Than 7950X, 15% Faster Than 13900K

wccftech.com:

Intel's 14th Gen Core i9-14900KF flagship CPU has leaked out once again, this time posting the fastest single & multi-threaded performance scores in Geekbench 6.

The latest benchmarks were leaked within Geekbench 6 and were run by well-known leaker, One Raichu. The leaker managed to run the Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU in both Geekbench 6 and older Geekbench 5 benchmarks. Based on the performance displayed, it looks like we might be looking at a chip that's about the same as the retail model and not an ES chip that we've seen being tested in prior benchmarks. As such, the performance is expected to be a bit better & we are also getting these tests on a proper benchmarking environment versus the weird choice of memory and board combos that we got before.

Starting with the specs, the Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU will feature 24 cores & 32 threads in an 8+16 configuration. The CPU will feature up to 36 MB of Smart Cache and a base TDP of 125W (253W PL2). It will feature clock speeds of 3.2 GHz at base & up to 6.0 GHz with a Thermal Velocity Boost. This will be a +200 MHz frequency jump over the Core i9-13900K and same as the Core i9-13900KS.

The testing configuration included the Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU running at its stock frequencies on an ASRock Z790 Taichi motherboard with 32 GB of DDR5-7000 memory. Performance-wise, the CPU scored an impressive 3347 points in single-core and 23,051 points within the multi-core tests in Geekbench 6 which are already the fastest scores we have seen to date of any mainstream chip. In Geekbench 5, the same CPU scored 2412 points in single-core & 26,972 points in the multi-core tests. Following is how these results compare to recent Intel and AMD chips:
