Source: intel.com (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by amazon.com. The Intel ARK official specification page for the Core i9-14900K (14th gen, code name Raptor Lake) confirmed verbatim: Total Cores 24 (8 Performance-cores + 16 Efficient-cores), Total Threads 32, Performance-core Base Frequency 3.2 GHz, Max Turbo Frequency 6 GHz, Cache 36 MB Intel Smart Cache (L3), Processor Base Power 125 W, Sockets Supported FCLGA1700, GPU Name Intel UHD Graphics 770, and Launch Date Q4'23. Recommended Customer Price listed as $589.00-$599.00 (priceUsd uses the $589 lower bound). Per catalog convention, base_clock_ghz uses the P-core base (3.2) and boost_clock_ghz uses the max single-core turbo (6.0); socket is formatted as LGA1700 to match sibling entries (Intel package designation FCLGA1700). Amazon's dedicated product page (Mfr Part Number BX8071514900K, ASIN B0CGJDKLB8) corroborated 24 cores (8P+16E) / 32 threads, up to 6.0 GHz, 36 MB L3 Smart Cache, 32 MB L2, 125 W base power, LGA 1700 socket, and Intel UHD Graphics 770. releaseDate is "2023" (year only) because Intel states the launch as Q4'23 — a quarter, not a month — so no month was inferred; the release specKey preserves the exact "2023-Q4". Re-fetch verification 2026-07-08: all 9 spec values, priceUsd, and releaseDate explicitly supported; exact model confirmed (not a 14900KF/14900/13900K sibling).
