Intel's new monster

New world's fastest processor reaches 6.2GHz

- 

INTEL'S 14th generation is to be joined by the Intel Core 19-14900KS Special Edition, which buzzes along at a maximum boost speed of 6.2GHz, breaking the 6GHz barrier and becoming the world's fastest processor. The base clock is a more pedestrian 3.2GHz. Otherwise, it's the same chip as the 6.0GHZ 19-14900K, so we have 24 cores, with eight performance and 16 efficiency cores, for a grand total of 32 threads. It draws more power at 300W-400W, compared to the K chip's maximum Turbo Power draw of 253W. This is a lot of power, with liquid cooling advised, if not required.
