Intel's all 5 GHz cores Core i9 9900KS Processor has 127W TDP (Updated)
Intel today held a conference call related to IFA in Berlin, and unexpectedly they actually talked about the 9900KS, and mention that the all-core 5 GHz processor is due for a release next month.
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. 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.
Update September 19th, 2019
New information reached us, 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.
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.

Its a binned 9900k. Just like the 8086k was a binned 8700k.
Lots of normal 9900k's can reach all core 5Ghz, but I guess if you want to pay for the guarantee.... My 9900k does 5.1ghz all core @ 1.3v.
But yeah, at least the Intel CPUs can actually reach their advertised clock speeds.
Yeah and pay for that extra price. You don't even notice a performance difference at the Zen 2 CPUs that can't hit the max boost clock as the 200 Hz boost clock difference between the 3600 and 3600X results in nearly 0 performance difference. Hope you cried so much about the GTX 970's 3,5 GB issue. 80% of the PC builders realized Ryzens have much better value than Intel (Mindfactory, Japanese sales). You are in the milked 20%. GLHF blue boy.

~4% performance increase for a ~4% clockspeed increase - "nearly 0 performance"
You should keep writing the same thing in every thread though I think after 8 times you'll finally be right.

On intel it's the same, between 4.8 and 5.0 there is almost no perf increase... (exept some that consider 2FPS as a huge gain lol)
Also on price argument it depend a lot on where you are.
In here:
- Intel I9 9900KS: 579,95 Euro
- AMD Ryzen 9 3900X : 639,94 Euro
Both aviable soon
milk argument is invalid as motherboard also are at the same price since few years
Anyway i have both side dual Xeon + Quadro to work and Athlon GE (Ryzen) for anything under TV set.
AMD or Intel? up to the user taste because at the end it's the same

Big yawn.
Anyone wanna chat about weather?
Because about CPUs is too much hassle.

Intel i9-9900KS Factory super binned high yielding CPU so awesome !!
I have been waiting months to get my hands on this 3800X Killer .. Upgrading from 8700K to 9900KS ... Sell off my 8700K on Ebay
9900KS is the last upgrade for all Intel 300 series boards ..
Can't wait ... Let the benchmarks begin ...

The forum in the Intel slides awesome.Going to be a good gaming CPU,I would never give up my AMD CPU for this but for those who buy this.Enjoy.

I consider this similar to the 9990XE - a specialty product designed to feed the e-peen. It could also be Intel's attempt to spoil the launch of the 3950X (and possibly Threadripper).
As I've said elsewhere, I see little point in such a CPU (if you want string single-core performance then buy the 9900K, and if you want strong multi-core then buy AMD), but I'm sure fanboys will gobble it up.

"The existing Core i9 9900K, which has one core active up to 5 GHz"
the 5 GHz turbo applies up to two active cores.

100% agreed!!! Especially the HEDT-ones for socket 2066 or whatsoever socket it'll be, but hey... if intel keeps word, why not.

Rumor has it they are sniping the best of the cores for the KS and leaving the K and KF in the dustbin. So the K and KF are essentially obsolete.

Oh Intel, unless you get 10nm working efficiently, you can't compete.
The last 3 years Intel has been loosing mindshare, and that shows on sales.
I'm all in for competition, and hope Intel finally brings 10nm fabs up and running, or soon AMD will find that they can charge more for hardware too!
