What to choose : 14700k or 14900k ? (alien.top)

Hi, I have seen some reviews and I don’t really know what to choose. It seems the 14700k run hotter but I am not sure if it is true. And is 14900k consumption is really higher in gaming ? Plus, I wonder if the APO is as good on the 14700k as 14900k ? I have no read reviews about that.

To sum up, is it worth to spend 200 dollars in addition for the 14900k ? For gaming usage, and productivity would be a bonus.

Thanks.

I debated the very same thing for a little while… I mainly game with 4090. eventually I chose the 14 700 K, considering that is $200 cheaper, Ron is a little cooler, and the number of P-cores is the same. I also play at 3440x1440 and they limit my FPS at 140Hz on my 144Hz.

I am cooling it with a Deepcool LS720, and I have no problem whatsoever. with a little undervolt, runs cool: in C23 max temp is 84. In gaming is in upper 40s or low 50s. Consumption in games is 80-100, and in idle is very low, around 15W.

There is no right or wrong choice. Sometimes I thought that perhaps I should’ve gotten the 14900 K, but again, I mean play it do not do any productivity. and if I would do, the 14 700 K is plenty fast.

Hope it helps
