One of the most powerful consumer CPUs available for the home desktop, the Intel Core i9-14900KF, is great for both productivity and gaming. It might not be the overallbest CPU for gaming— thanks to the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D — but what it lacks against AMD’s gaming-focused processor it more than makes up for with its multi-threaded workflow potential. This is the lowest-ever price I’ve seen for this particular CPU.
This offer is available at Newegg, where you can purchase theIntel Core i9-14900KF for $514thanks to a $20 discount when you apply codeULDRA37at the checkout. Similar to the 14900K variant, the 14900KF is unlocked for overclocking, but doesn’t include Intel’s integrated graphics, and will need a graphics card to run a screen and any graphics.
If you’re not looking to build a brand new PC, you can still upgrade an existing Intel system, as you can still make use of 600/700-series compatible motherboards, and use either DDR4 or DDR5 memory. But if you’re spending big bucks to have the best, you shouldn’t scrimp on the other components.
