New Intel Core i9-14900KS photo fuels speculation of upcoming launch

The Intel Core i9-14900KS processor may have just been spotted online thanks to a leaked photo, indicating that Intel might not be quite done with its 14th-gen Core lineup just yet. 

With Intel understandably focused on the launch of its new Meteor Lake processors, not a lot of attention has been paid to its Raptor Lake Refresh chips since they launched late last year. But a new photo posted to Twitter (or X, if you insist) by user 9550pro appears to show a rather pristine-looking production version of the i9-14900KS processor, rather than a more cryptic engineering sample. Since Intel hasn’t officially disclosed any details about its potential flagship chip, there’s no way to tell if the chip is genuine, something 9550pro acknowledges in their post.

However, as PCGamesN points out, recent developments suggest that more information may emerge soon. If the Core i9-14900KS is on the horizon, it is poised to become Intel’s best processor for gaming, though whether it will be capable of dethroning the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains to be seen.
