Intel Core i9-13900KS Confirmed with 150W Base Power and 6 GHz Boost Speed
Intel is expanding its 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" desktop processor family with a number of new SKUs, led by the new flagship Core i9-13900KS. A leaked company slide confirmed the upper-end SKUs' specs. Led from the top, the new i9-13900KS packs the same 8P+16E (8 performance cores + 16 efficiency cores) configuration as the i9-13900K. It has a slightly higher 3.20 GHz base frequency compared to the 3.00 GHz of the i9-13900K, but boosts all the way up to 6.00 GHz, compared to 5.80 GHz of the i9-13900K. To ensure improved boost frequency residency, Intel bumped up the processor base power value from 125 W to 150 W, while leaving the maximum turbo power value untouched at 253 W.
We also see the specs of the non-K Core i9-13900 and Core i7-13700, which offer the same 8P+16E and 8P+8E core-configs as the i9-13900K and i9-13700K, respectively, but without unlocked multipliers. The i9-13900 ticks at 2.00 GHz with 5.60 GHz maximum turbo frequency, whereas the i7-13700 does 2.10 GHz base, with up to 5.20 GHz boost, compared to 3.40 GHz base and 5.40 GHz boost of the i7-13700K. As "locked" chips both have lower processor base power values of just 65 W, and maximum turbo power values of 219 W. Both these chips could include a cooling solution in the box, which is very likely the Laminar RH1 stock cooler that company includes with the i9-12900 and i9-12700. Intel is expected to announce these chips alongside a large number of 13th Gen Core i5 SKUs on January 3.

150350W processor350w with your egg?
Anyway, the 13900K/KS isn`t the right CPU if you are into gaming mainly, but if AMD will set the cost acorrding to it the consumer will loss no matter what.
Power consumption will be outrageous when limits are down, that is for sure, saturation of the EPS connector is not so far now.
Stop the insulting.
Stop the trolling.
Follow the guidelines.
Wonder if it will overclock further!
They're being 'honest' about it too. lol.
The signal is that you will buy the best silicon if you are passionate about overclocking.
[/HR]Haha, genius! :laugh:
This is just a shameless product all the way, you have to be a unique type of idiot to pay for this I think.
With the same PL2, the 13900KS will be equal to or marginally exceed the 12900K in some applications (like Blender), but it can even bring a 10% increase in others (like Lightroom). I keep repeating that (example) a 20 or 30% slower in renderings/encodings is not a tragedy (the computer can work without your assistance, you can sleep during this time), but it is comforting to have extra performance when working with it. With PL1 increased from 125W to 150W, they have a much more aggressive processor response in the entire frequency range.
If the wind blows through our pockets and we ask the seller how much a muffin costs, KS is not worth it. I can't even afford it.
For those who break the cost of 2-3KS in a night in clubs, the price is moderate for the best processor on this socket. Overclockers also hunt it.
According to your reasoning, you are an idiot if you drink a Pepsi, Cola, beer or any other drink. You only have water available, cheaper and healthier.
Think Intel is all about binning bud otherwise there wouldn't be a kfc version in the first place it's not just a lunch hotspot :laugh:
@Vayra86
more like a "tuned - +1000HP" lambo, that most likely no one outside the US/Russia/Arab countries will buy,
as its really about bragging rights, as short of driving on certain highways in Germany/some US states, most will never really be able to make use its full power, similar to this chip (outside ocers or hdet/workstation)..
If we are still talking about Ferrari, the sports car does not justify its price in relation to a classic car. However, they can be bought and we all dream of one, right?
It's stupid, if I may, to bring consumption into discussion at this level. If you are serving a meal at a luxury restaurant, don't be afraid of the price of a bun.
little OT here:
virtually all "classic" cars worth north of 1M, are usually sports cars (less than 4 seats) from about a dozen (mainly European) brands.
and most sports cars that are produced less than 500 times, increase in value within a decade.
to consider consumption isnt stupid, even at this level:
a porsche 918 spyder has almost 900HP, yet is more fuel efficient, with less emissions than a 150HP toyota prius...
its one thing if something is "pricey", that doesnt mean i need to waste money/resources for no reason (as in gaining minute perf improvements).
