Question Can't choose between CPU's they are almost the same except for what?

[question133]

While the Intel Core i7 14700k costs way less than the Intel Core i913900KF I don't understand why is one priced more than the other. Is it something that one has that the other doesn't? What I'm worried about here is system latency. Is this why one has to pick Intel Core i9 13900KF over the other or are they the same? Does an i9 have more technology and this is why the pro players like Niko and Tenz and Zywoo pick them? It's what? I just want more FPS in CS2 that is CPU intensive. Can anyone help?

Please keep your CPU choice to ONE thread.

Question - What is a KF and a K in Intel Core i9-13900KF?

Does one is better than the other or the KF is cheap and the same? Is it better to have integrated graphics? Is this the reason donk and monesy bought one with integrated graphics? https://prosettings.net/players/donk/ https://prosettings.net/players/m0nesy/

One or the other....you choose.

2 factors: supply and demand; since the 13900KF is an older product supply is limited so they can charge more. 2nd: retailers know that gamers like you are obsessed with performance factors like FPS and will pay more for a product that they think will increase that.

Personally I would never recommend that anyone buy a KF cpu since we see way too many problems here that can't be diagnosed since the cpu does not have its own graphics and you can't boot without a graphics card. But that's just my opinion.

honestly its up to u but i wouldnt get anything from intel at the moment because of i9s and i7 dying from high temps and voltages

See what early peeks at Arrow Lake look like if you can. 14th gen still a bit scary although last week's fix seems to have addressed the issue. New AMD not exciting at all yet from a performance/price ratio. If Arrow stinks, the 14700k is a great price.

I7-14700K has 28 processing threads and includes integrated graphics.
I9-13900KF has 32 processing threads and is a bit stronger. It does not include integrated graphics.
14th gen is a evolution from the 13th gen so I suppose the technology is a bit different.
CS2 is indeed cpu intensive, but it does not use but a handful of threads.
Single thread performance is most important for that game.
As a practical matter, they will perform about the same.

If you are a pro player with a big budget, look at the i9-14900KS.
And pick conservative voltage settings to preserve your chip
