WATCH BEFORE BUYING Intel i9 14900k 👉 BEST CPU for Video & Photo Editing | Review for Creators

so this over here is the 14900 K the new best CPU from Intel for desktop but the question is how good is it you might have seen some gaming reviews out there but for creators what has actually changed and how good is it and how does it compare to the best of AMD the 7950 X as well as the previous generations from Intel like is it worth upgrading from 3900k well let's find out looking for a cheap way to license your windows check out who Keys through the links in the video description make sure to use the code tn20 to get a 30% off paste the license to the activation settings and you're all done this license is for Windows 10 but you can upgrade it to Windows 11 for free they also offer Microsoft Office 19 license use the same code tn20 to get a 30% off check out hook.com in the video description below let's look at the specs here I have 14 900k 13900 K 795x and 12900 K so the best I9 and ryzen 99's what we can get right now and as you can see between the 3900k and 14900 K not a lot has changed basically the only thing that has changed is that the now the CPU can boost up to 6 GHz out of the box the P car all frequency can sustain at 5.6 GHz which is 200 MHz higher than the previous generation in boost and P cor all core boost clock speeds and the eor max turbo frequency has also increased by just 100 MHz all the rest is exactly the same in terms of the price of all of these 34 I'm going to leave the latest pricing in the description below but I think you want to hear my conclusion about the price because there might actually be some good news um that we'll talk about in the end of the video now let's talk about my testing setup and methodology because I have changed it since last year I am testing the CPUs with the rated Ram kit speed if that makes sense so if the CPU IMC or memory controller can support up to what the specs say 5600 MHz which this 14th gen can do then I'm going to test the Ram at that speed so I have a Kingston Fury Beast kit and this supports Expo and XMP for both Intel and AMD so I was able to use the same kit of RAM for both of these testing setups and for AMD this kit is running at 5200 megga transfers even though the kit is 6,000 so you can run it at 6 ,000 and then on the 13th gen I was running at 5600 megat transfers per second as well as on the 14th gen because that's what it's rated at on the 12th gen I was testing it at 4800 megatrans per second because that's the maximum rated IMC there now that doesn't mean that you can't go any higher yes you can but in that case you're actually going above the spec and you might not reach those speeds if that makes sense and also by adding this way of testing the CPUs we're also testing ing the memory controller of the CPUs because when the new generation comes out it's probably a better memory controller which means that this will reflect on the benchmarks what we see here rather than trying to run them all of them either downclocking or up clocking the lower end ones which wouldn't be fair for either of the way if you want to check out the rest of the test PCH setup all the motherboards CPUs gpus well CPUs you already know and everything I'm going to leave them in the description below so you can check them out first the memory controler speed because from 12 gen going to 13th gen we actually increased the memory controller speed what it can actually offer we went from 4800 to 5600 which is extra 800 mahz Boost and I expected the same with the 14th gen but that's not what I got in fact the IMC is exactly the same as on the previous generation but on the review guide Intel actually says you might want to use some faster kits of ram what you used on the 13th gen So in theory the memory controller has actually improved because this CPU lineup is kind of like a refresh the refinement process of that Intel's 10 NM kind process node so now after a year or maybe a little bit more later now when they've done it since 12 Chen they've refined the process they can get a little bit of better quality silicon out there which means that you can run them probably a little bit faster and the IMC is better usually you know on Bend CPUs the integrated memory controller is better and that's why I've put 5600 megat transfers plus so if you plan to run Ram above the 5600 megga transfers then most likely the 14th gen will run it a little bit better than the 13th gen and 12th gen it's kind of the same as on the 13th genen on the paper but potentially a little bit better but then still a little bit better than the ryzen 7,000 at 5200 megat transfers per second so if you do want to run faster higher capacity Ram then you're more most likely going to achieve those speeds with the 14th gen compared to any of the other competition if that makes sense in terms of power consumption the 14900 K is a little bit more power hungry than the 13900 K and in terms of the power limit spec on 13th gen and 14th gen it's exactly the same 253 wats on the boost power but if you turn on the multicore enhancement which in most of the motherboards is enabled by default the motherboard is going to try to extract all the performance from the CPU to push as much power through the CPUs as possible as much as there is the thermal limit to absolutely Max the thermal limit so I am seeing 325 watt plus pulled from my z790 pro at motherboard from Asus and most likely you're going to see the same in any of the other motherboards the 3900k in the same motherboard is pulling around 315 Watts maximum the the 7950 X on the X 670e motherboard will pull about 230 wats in the boost power all clock speed cinebench R23 multicore workloud and the 12 900k about 223 wats so we've added extra 100 Watts between the 12th gen and the 14th gen which is quite a large power increase in terms of cinebench R23 the 13th gen is about 5% slower in the single C score the 7950 X is again slower and the 12900 K is quite a bit slower there about 12% in the single course score and about 31% in the multicore score but bear in mind the 12 900k only has eight e course compared to the 16 what we have on the 13 and 14 Chen interestingly the multicore score actually I got a little bit of a higher score on the 139 R than on the 14 900k in cinebench r24 the 3900k is about 3% slower in the single course SC and about 3.1% slower in the multi course SC so here we can actually see a difference in the multi course score the 7950 X is 11% slower in the single core and about 7% slower in the multi course scoree total 100K is between 14 to 33% slower in those scores in geekbench 5 the 3900k is about 3% slower in the single carore and about 1.3% slower in the multi course score the 7950 X interestingly is about 10 % slower in the multi course core even though the multicores are all PES and boost much higher than the average core on Intel setup and about 4.3% slower in the single core score 12900 G gets about 15 to 22% slower scores in this Benchmark moving on to actual applications and first of all Photoshop so this is Photoshop 25 version 25 we can see that the 4900 K is only slightly f faster than the 13900 K which is only 1.5% slower in the overall score in general scores as you can see the 6 GHz isn't something uh amazing to boast about the 795x loses out about 16% in overall score interestingly the general score is 45% slower which is quite a lot but the filter score at the same time is 31% faster than the 14900 K which is interesting the 129 ret is about 15% slower in the overall score moving on to Adobe Lightroom classic here we can see the 3900k is only slightly slower than the 14900 K 1.2% slower and in active score we're literally the same and in passive score slightly slower so because of the multicore Boost clocks on the 4900 g a little bit faster we're seen a slight increase in performance the 795x is about 10% slower in the overall scores and 12900 K about 18% slower moving on to Premier Pro and the 3900k is about 1.6 to 2% slower in the overall scores here and the 795x about 9 to 10% slower in the extended and standard overall scores interestingly the long GOP score as you can see on the ryzen is 25 to 30% lower which is very interesting at the same time raw standard score is about 10.5% faster than the 14900 G moving on to after effects in here we can see that the 3900 G is 7% slower uh and some of the scores a little bit more but overall pretty much the same 795x is about 2.4% faster because the tracking score is 50% faster interestingly on After Effects the 12 l 100K loses about 15% in the overall scores but the multicore score is 32% slower and now in denture resolve the 3900k is about 2.4% slower in the extended and standard overall scores so not a lot again the 795x is 12 to 15% slower in the extended and standard overall scores and the 129 about the same 12 to 15% slower moving on to blender and three we can see that the 14900 K is actually slower than the 13900 K now the 13900 K actually uses an earlier version of the blender so interestingly for some reason the later version of blender is somehow slower than the earlier one by actually about 10% which is interesting in some of the scenes Jun shop scene is pretty much equal 2% faster on the 13900 K but that the 13900 K is faster at any point just makes no sense to me but it's interesting 7950 X though is even faster than the 14900 K those 16 performance calls really do amazing in blender and in 3D as you can see 134 to 133% faster compared to the 14 900k so even the 16 e cost can't really match the 16p cost on the 7950 X from AMD the 12900 K is about 30 to 40% slower in the monster junk shop and classroom scenes saw quite a big performance Improvement in vray the 3900k is actually 1% faster 795x about 8.7% faster than the 12900 K about 34% slower so again we're not seeing a massive performance increase compared to the last generation in v-rex I wanted to test the IMC above its spec so I took the same Ram kit the 6,000 megga transform Ram kit and I tried to dial in as fast Ram kit as possible to actually get a post then get it to run stable so I tried 7, 6800 didn't work 6600 didn't work but 6,400 megat transfers did work so now we're getting an extra 800 mahz which would be kind of like the generational leap what we got from last generation remember and let's see how much of a performance increase would we get from the 4900 K if you run it at 5600 megat transfers compared to the 64 megga transfer exactly the same Ram kit 64 GB one dim per channel in Photoshop we're actually gaining 5.4% which is quite a bit and the GPU score is about 12% faster which is again quite a big increase so in Photoshop it doesn't make sense to get faster Ram if you can run it stable because this is out of spec it might lose or crash anytime you'll never know in Lightroom classic we gain extra 5.3% which is again pretty pretty much the same as what we saw in Photoshop but in video editing in Premier Pro we gained about 3.3% the int frame score there was about 5% faster as you can see in the extended scores and 5.8% faster in the intraframe scores moving on to After Effects we're getting extra 3.5% in the overall scores and about 4% in the ram preview so a little bit of a performance increase there as well in the vent resolve there we're not actually seeing that much of a difference as you can see the extended ascended over scores are less than 1% faster with the faster Ram kit in conclusion uh what about this CPU then we can look at it two ways and we're going to give you the bad news first and then the good news the bad news is that there isn't really that big of a difference between the 14th gen and 13th gen it's really less than 5% performance increase compared to the 13th gen so we can say that this new generation is basically just a little bit of um refinement of the previous generation so this 14900 K is actually pretty much a 3900 k s out of the box which actually brings the bad news even further and I could say that if you ran any of the gigabyte motherboards then you can get 6 GHz by just one click in the bias if you haven't seen my video how to do that it's super simple if you run a 13700 K or 139900 k you can get 6 G by just flicking one 6 GHz boom button in the Bios and you can get pretty much 99% of the performance of this 14900 K now I would have expected a memory controller increase really with this spe not 5600 MHz none of this either so a little bit of a downer there as well there's no new cause and the only thing that has changed with this CPU is just 200 MHz boost clock in the P cost and 100 MHz boost on the eost which really is such a marginal increase in performance out of the box but now the good news one of thing is that even though they don't say that the memory controller does support faster Ram it does most likely run it faster so if you're a creat and you do want to get the fastest Ram possible and you want to take the little risk of you know what I'm just going to run the ram as fast as possible then the 4900 K is a better pick for you it's just the best refinement process of that 10 me to not second good news is that it's best to get some upgrade for this platform rather than nothing at all so we can get extra 5% increase even though it wouldn't make sense to upgrade from your 13th gen it might be worth upgrading from your 12th gen to 14th gen but then at the same time you might want to upgrade to the 13th gen just because the 13th gen is now going to drop down in price because this is last generation which brings us to another good news is that Intel basically just drop the price of their own products the 13th gen that was so good already for us now is even lower in price because of the new generation and they might want to sell the 13th gen off so most likely what I expect to happen is that the 14th gen is now going to take the price or the place instead of the 13900 K so there but now the 13th gen is Boom going to go down there so now during the holidays when there's deals on Black Friday deals new EG Amazon I recommend checking out the 3900k cuz most likely this is going to be on the sale and you can potentially get it even faster well you can if you're run any of the gigabyte z690 or z790 motherboards so if you're asking which is the ultimate best crat CPU right now on the market then yes the 14 900k really is the one by just a slight margin now it's not really a generation Improvement this is more like I don't know the the weather was better and the benchmarks worked kind of better some of these increases in performance are within margin of error so it's pretty much the same as the 13th gen but the good news is we can get the 13th genen now even cheaper if you want to pick any of these CPUs out I'm going to leave the link in the description below but the most exciting thing now for me is I can't wait for AMD to launch new CPU because whatever they do with the um 99 50x CPU maybe it's going to have more than 16 CES but that's probably going to absolutely wipe the 14th genen and I can't wait for that so AMD um I'm excited to hear what you have to counter offer because Intel really um it's not that impressive that's all I'd love to know what you think in the comment section below I'll meet you down there thanks guys for watching bye-bye
