Corsair One i500 (i9-14900K / RTX 4080 Super / 32GB RAM / 2TB SSD)

The Corsair One i500 follows a Micro-ATX form factor and occupies a total volume of 22,047.3 cm³, with a height of 393 mm, a width of 187 mm, and a depth of 300 mm — keeping its physical footprint relatively contained for a desktop system of this class. Storage is handled by a 2TB NVMe SSD, combining high capacity with the faster transfer speeds that the NVMe interface provides over traditional SATA drives.

The graphics card carries 16GB of GDDR6X VRAM on a 256-bit memory bus, delivering a maximum memory bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s and an effective memory speed of 23,000 MHz. Its GPU runs at a base clock of 2290 MHz and boosts up to 2550 MHz, producing 52.22 TFLOPS of floating-point performance along with a texture rate of 816 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s. The card is built on a 5 nm process housing 45,900 million transistors, and its rendering pipeline consists of 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units. It connects via PCIe 4, supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, and is capable of driving up to four displays simultaneously through its multi-display support. Ray tracing, DLSS, stereoscopic 3D, and double precision floating point are all supported, while LHR and RGB lighting are not present on this card.

The CPU operates across 24 cores — eight running at 3.2 GHz and sixteen at 2.4 GHz — with a total of 32 threads made possible through multithreading support. It can reach a turbo clock speed of 6 GHz via Turbo Boost version 2, and its unlocked multiplier, set at a clock multiplier of 32, allows for frequency adjustments. Cache consists of 32 MB at the L2 level and 36 MB of L3, providing a combined 68 MB to help reduce memory latency across workloads. The processor includes integrated graphics, supports 64-bit computing, and has a maximum rated temperature of 100 °C.

In Geekbench 6, the system scores 3,063 in the single-core test and 20,358 in the multi-core test, reflecting the processor's ability to distribute work across its full thread count. PassMark testing puts the multi-threaded result at 58,653, with the single-threaded score reaching 4,696. When pushed beyond stock settings, the overclocked PassMark result climbs to 62,076, indicating measurable headroom above the default configuration.

The system is equipped with 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at a speed of 6000 MHz, combining a generous capacity with the higher bandwidth characteristics that the DDR5 standard offers over its predecessor.

Wireless connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) with backward compatibility extending to Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4, complemented by Bluetooth 5.3 for short-range wireless peripherals. The USB port selection includes four USB 2.0 ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, while USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 are absent. A single RJ45 port provides wired network access. Display output options consist of three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI 2.1 port, with no DVI or VGA connectors present. Audio connectivity includes an S/PDIF out port, though a 3.5 mm headset jack and an external memory card slot are not included.

The desktop CPU uses the LGA 1700 socket and is compatible with a range of chipsets including B760, H770, Z790, H610, H670, B660, and Z690. It employs big.LITTLE technology and supports instruction sets spanning MMX, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AVX2, AES, F16C, and FMA3, along with an NX bit for hardware-level memory protection. The integrated graphics unit is identified as UHD Graphics 770 with 32 execution units, while the discrete GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Memory support extends to a maximum of 192GB across two channels, with a rated maximum RAM speed of 5600 MHz, and ECC memory is supported. The processor carries a thermal design power of 320W and makes use of Intel Resizable BAR for improved CPU-to-GPU data access. The system includes an HDMI output but has no mini DisplayPort outputs and no USB-C ports; air-water cooling and XeSS (XMX) are not present.
