The Core i9-13900KS will likely be released next month; Intel is developing the Core i9-13900KS to compete with the finest binned CPUs on the market. 

The special edition Raptor Lake processor will surge to a breathtaking 6 GHz; but, early benchmarks show that the Core i9-13900KS may not be substantially quicker than the present top Raptor Lake chip, the Core i9-13900K. A Twitter post by user @g01d3nm4ng0 disclosed Cinebench R23 benchmark results for Intel's upcoming 6GHz Raptor Lake Core i9-13900KS, comparing it to other CPUs, including the standard i9-13900K. While the KS model is more expensive, it only marginally outperforms its cheaper alternative in terms of speed, with a 5.4% advantage in the single-threaded benchmark and a 3.2% advantage in the multi-threaded test.

Please keep in mind that these Cinebench scores should be treated with caution before we proceed. The presented benchmark data is unofficial and may differ from what we see in the final product.
