Intel is reportedly launching its new enthusiast-segment desktop processor, the Core i9-14900KS, on March 14, 2024. The i9-14900KS is marked by Intel as a Special Edition product, meaning that it may not be available in all the markets that you'd otherwise find the regular i9-14900K in; and the processor has higher system- and cooling requirements to achieve its advertised performance levels. Given that Intel priced the previous generation i9-13900KS and i9-12900KS at $740, we don't expect pricing of the i9-14900KS to be any different.

The i9-14900KS is based on the same "Raptor Lake Refresh" silicon as the i9-14900K, but from better bins. It should come with higher overclocking headroom, and better performance out of the box. This is because Intel has dialed up the maximum boost frequencies by 100-200 MHz on both the P-cores and E-cores. The P-cores now boost up to 6.20 GHz using the Thermal Velocity Boost algorithm, whereas the i9-14900K boosts up to 6.00 GHz. With its launch just over a week away, retail boxes of the i9-14900KS are already beginning to leak from sources among brick-and-mortar retailers. Once such source in Vietnam grabbed these snaps of the processor box.
 
I'm curious what the final MSRP will be.

    How nice. I bet other motherboard manufactures will have a bios to ensure their boards will be compatible with it.
