Intel Core i9-14900KS Leaked with 6.2 GHz Clocks

Intel’s new Core i9-14900KS processor has been spotted in the wild, ahead of its expected mid-March launch. Photos of retail boxes and CPUs have emerged online, indicating some retailers are already selling the chip despite no official launch yet.

The Core i9-14900KS features 24 cores (8 performance cores, 16 efficiency cores) for the LGA1700 socket. The naming indicates a binned part with higher clocks and power than standard variants. Leaks confirm the i9-14900KS runs at up to 6.2 GHz, requiring 1.498v to maintain this frequency.

Intel Lunar Lake Leaked, Shows 8 Cores & 8 Threads and Boosted at 2.8 GHz

Early test silicon for Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake CPU has leaked, revealing key specifications. The 8-core, 8-thread Lunar Lake chip is likely to be focused on mobile efficiency. The boost clock speed is 2.8GHz, which is common for early test chips and will likely increase.

The most interesting aspect of the leak is the cache configuration. Lunar Lake apparently has a massive 14MB of L2 cache, actually exceeding the 12MB L3 cache. Typically, the higher-level L3 cache has significantly more capacity than L2. Having less L3 than L2 cache is highly unusual and may indicate incorrect readings. However, the leaker believes the small 12MB L3 size to be accurate.
