Core i9-9900KS Spotted at etailer costs 679 euros (updated)

Core i9-9900KS Spotted at etailer costs 679 euros (updated)

In the land down under the Core i9-9900KS has appeared in a webshop, the all-core 5 GHz processor is converted back to EUR almost 679 EUR, with likely something similar in USD.

The Core i9 9900KS processor will have 5 GHz boost activated on all eight cores. So in threaded workloads where one or all threads are utilized, the processor will jump to 5 GHz in all threads/cores for a short-burst of time. The existing Core i9 9900K, which has one core active up to 5 GHz, and all core stress translates towards a maximum of 4.7 GHz on all cores is the same product, this, however, is a heavily binned version of that SKU. Intel did not share any details on what the TDP is going to be for this SKU, as certainly it'll be higher than 100 Watts. Intel has not disclosed a price either.

  

  

In a presentation, they also showed some slides mentioning the slightly confusing situation on Turbo bins with AMD's Ryzen 3000, claiming for Intel 5 GHz simply is 5 GHz. The slide-show also held an interesting screengrab. Have a peek.

The Core i9 9900KS will get a 127 Watt TDP as ASUS has released a BIOS update for its upcoming motherboards listing precisely this TDP, that's an increase if 34 percent. Not bad really, so we are really wondering how long the 5 GHz on all cores that's in place. 20~30 Seconds and then back to the base-clock at 4000 GHz as with this TDP you cannot continuously run 5 GHz at that wattage in our belief.

Update: Now there is the confirmation of a 127 watts TDP as well from MSI.

  

Also, mind you that TDP for Intel is not a maximum power used, that number likely is far higher in the 5 GHz all-core boost. So the question remains, the Intel all-core 5 GHz Boost .. is for how many seconds? The Core i9-9900KS has 16 MB of L3 cache, built-in UHD 630 GT2 graphics chip, supports DDR4-2666 memory, and the processor will continue to use IHS soldering to improve the heat and unpacking of the chip. The chip is due for release next month.

The product page on MWave mentions "BX80684I99900KS" as the product number for the Core i9 9900KS with no details listed. Also, twitter user momomo_us mentions a price of 603 US dollars (+ sales tax) at an unnamed store which seems more on par for USD pricing. Intel will release the Core i9 9900KS in October. The specifications of the processor were already known but the price and tdp not yet. The 8-core processor has a base clock of 4 GHz and a maximum turbo speed of 5 GHz on all eight cores.

You don't buy "MSRP" - you buy from a store don't you???

i9 9900k msrp: $479 -on amazon: 474.99
amd 3900X msrp: $499 - on amazon: between $780 and $999

So...why care about MSRP so much when the reality hits you in the pocket???
Also high prices are manufacturer's fault because of low availability and from what I see even at "MSRP" top gaming AMD CPU is more expensive than top gaming Intel CPU + add to this a more expensive gaming motherboard with X570 and all the bells and whistles and you have a winner!

So the trophy for the most expensive gaming CPU goes to AMD...

Don't buy from unscrupulous scalpers. Respectable stores don't raise their prices so easily just to satisfy their own short-term greed, while at the same time giving their old customers the middle finger as if there's no tomorrow. 3900X's price hasn't significantly changed since the beginning at my usual store over here, despite the long queue.

I do buy what I want to buy. I am not an imbecile to accept some shop's price gouging.

Tho, you seem to assume that price on some shop is adequate and representative. Maybe you would buy. And you base your entire "logic" on it. But it actually is not logical.
All you write is subjective attempt on conjunction of two unrelated things to say that intel's expensive binned chip is actually cheap while AMD's currently unavailable chip is expensive.

It is "subjective" depending of the POV...
Anyway enough of this - it will lead to nowhere with blue or red fanboism.
Also, mind you that TDP for Intel is not a maximum power used, that number likely is far higher in the 5 GHz all-core boost. So the question remains, the Intel all-core 5 GHz Boost .. is for how many seconds?

Good question but I was under the impression that intel already answered this in the hitman 2 dlc demo where they showed an i9 9900ks running with all cores at 5 GHz for the entire length of the demo minus the occasional dip when changing scenes???

I'm dying of curiosity to see this running on cheaper Z370 boards with 4 phase VRM that start to choke at 150W.
