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.

14900K if money is not your problem. Just remember to pair it with good hardware.
You would only get a 14900k over a 14700k if you were already getting a 4090 and still wanted more
Faced the same choice, went for a 14700KF (have the GPU already), the price gap is not worth the 4 E cores.
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
Just get the 14700k if you already have everything else and it’s just the cpu what you’re upgrading and if you don’t want to do any crazy overclocking.
gaming needs p cores, get the one you can afford that has 8. its either 8 very fast p cores or 8 very very fast p cores…doesnt matter much
For gaming? No.
