Core i9-14900K size: a 45 mm package

The adopted reference is about 4.5 cm.

longer side of the package: 45 mm

4.5 cm = 0.045 m. A centimeter is one hundredth of a meter.

What does this number measure?

Intel's specification gives a 45 × 37.5 mm package for the Core i9-14900K. We compare the longer side of the whole assembly here, including its substrate and metal lid. Labels such as ‘3 nm’ or ‘5 nm’ for other processes name technology generations: they give neither the package size nor a universal dimension for each transistor.

Compare the stated dimensions

The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
