Intel To Release Core i9 9900KS processor: runs 5 GHz on all eight cores

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/26/2019 04:28 PM | source: | 39 comment(s)

Intel today announced a new processor prior to the start of Computex, the Core i9 9900KS processor will have 5 GHz boost activated on all eight cores.

So basically 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.

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 shows a demo that at standards utilizes all-in-one water cooler. Intel has not disclosed a price either.

Didn't know you were vulnerable while gaming. :p

On topic.

Not entirely sure if this is designed for gaming, and would only be of marginal use for desktop use.

Most likely just a special edition, simply because they can.

Your feelings are vulnerable to bullying while you game! And do not forget your 1337 pride is also in the line so paying 500 usd instead of 350 to get 102 fps instead of 100 is not just 2 fps ! Is for the sake of your mental well being and that's priceless !

(And in case some people think i am Serius i am not , i am jocking )

Yes yes... Release all those 9900 skus with KF/KFC/KS/KSI/Kxxxx. And also hoping the soon to be released cpu's from AMD spank some good butt too, so we poor ppl can get a nice and dirt cheap normal 9900K from Amazon or Ebay. Who knows, maybe even locally.

Well, this is only special if it overclocks better than the existing 9900K, because most people would be overclocking the 9900K right! If this 9900KS can run a 5Ghz all core clock at a lower voltage & lower power than 9900K, then that's a reason to have this because then you'd think you could overclock the 9900KS higher than the 9900K - if you can't then there's not much point to this 'new' CPU.

Hmmm... most 9900k already can hit 5Ghz easily on AIO ... Most likely a high binned cpu that will sell for a premium ~ $600-$700 US Dollars :confused:

Real world TDP should be around 200W, enough as a small winter heater! XD

Yet again, including Meltdown, Spectre and Spoiler security vulnerabilities

Just wait until new vulnerabilities will be found out, and you'll have to reduce the speed from 5GHZ to 4GHZ and lower number of cores, or maybe turn on the PC without the CPU xD
