by In the core series Intel has came up with two new 24 core processors that going to hit the market anytime soon.
Two dozen cores in a single chip isn’t just a spec-flex , it’s how you can do gaming, 4K/8K editing, AI workloads, and compilation without the PC flinching a bit. Intel’s hybrid designs (Performance + Efficient cores) make 24-core CPUs surprisingly versatile for desktops, laptops, and servers
What “24 cores” means
On Intel’s hybrid Core i9 parts, 24 cores = 8 Performance-cores (P-cores) + 16 Efficient-cores (E-cores), totaling 32 threads (P-cores are hyper-threaded, E-cores are not). This mix lets you run heavy foreground tasks on P-cores while background/parallel jobs ride the E-cores.
Product List, Key Specs & Best-Fit Usage
1) Intel Core i9-14900K (Desktop)
Why pick it: Flagship all-rounder for high-FPS gaming + recording/streaming, 4K video editing, Blender renders, and heavy Chrome/IDE multitasking.

Boost: Up to 6.0 GHz
Cache: 36 MB Intel® Smart Cache
Power: 125 W base / 253 W max turbo
2) Intel Core i9-13900K (Desktop)
- Cores/Threads: 24 (8P+16E) / 32
- Boost: Up to 5.8 GHz
- Cache: 36 MB
- Power: 125 W base / 253 W max turbo
- Why pick it: Still a beast for creators and devs; great value for DaVinci/Premiere timelines, Unreal/Unity builds, and code compile farms.
3) Intel Core i9-14900HX (Laptop/Enthusiast Mobile)
- Cores/Threads: 24 (8P+16E) / 32
- Boost: Up to 5.8 GHz
- Cache: 36 MB
- Power (platform): 55 W base / up to 157 W turbo
- Why pick it: “Desktop-class” laptop CPU for mobile 3D work, high-refresh gaming on the go, and heavy Lightroom/Capture One batches when traveling.
4) Intel Xeon 6520P (Server/Workstation)
- Cores: 24 (Xeon 6 family)
- Target: Multi-socket servers and scale-out back-ends
- Why pick it: Virtualization hosts, microservices, CI/CD runners, in-memory databases, and CPU-bound analytics where uptime and I/O matter more than single-thread peak.
5) Intel® Core™ 7 Processor 251E (Embedded/Desktop)
- Cores/Threads: 24 (8P + 16E) / 32
- Clocks: Up to 5.6 GHz (TVB / TBM 3.0); P-base 2.1 GHz, E-base 1.6 GHz
- Cache: 36 MB | TDP: 65 W | Socket: FCLGA1700
- Memory: DDR5-5600 / DDR4-3200, ECC supported, 2 channels
- Graphics: Intel UHD 770 (up to 1.66 GHz), up to 4 displays
- I/O: PCIe 5.0/4.0 (up to 20 lanes), DMI 4.0
- Best for: Industrial/embedded desktops and workstations needing max single-core boost + high thread count—e.g., CAD/EDA stations on the shop floor, edge analytics, multi-camera NVR/VMS, medical image review, kiosk/retail controllers where 24 cores help with parallel services.
6) Intel® Core™ 7 Processor 251TE (Embedded, Low-Power)
- Cores/Threads: 24 (8P + 16E) / 32
- Clocks: Up to 5.4 GHz; P-base 1.4 GHz, E-base 1.0 GHz; All-core turbo ~3.8 GHz
- Cache: 36 MB | TDP: 45 W | Socket: FCLGA1700
- Memory: DDR5-5600 / DDR4-3200, ECC supported, 2 channels
- Graphics: Intel UHD 770 (up to ~1.6 GHz), up to 4 displays
- I/O: PCIe 5.0/4.0 (up to 20 lanes), DMI 4.0
- Best for: Thermally constrained or fanless edge boxes—digital signage players, industrial HMIs, robotics controllers, retail POS gateways, compact AI inferencing nodes that still need lots of threads but tighter power/thermals.
If you’re building a do-everything creator rig, go 14900K. Want value but still elite performance? 13900K. Need desktop-class on the move? 14900HX. Running VMs/microservices? Choose Xeon 6520P
