Intel Core i9-9900KS

[notb]

I wonder a little bit that when you give a thumbs down, why this processor then doesn't get a thumbs down to switch from 3 year warranty to 1 year. ??.

It does. It has been discussed a lot.

It's a binned, limited CPU. Intel offers a very short warranty period, because they like can't secure the usual inventory.
It's a bummer, but Intel is entitled to do so. To be honest, 3 years is a lot.

Keep in mind that if you buy a whole PC (from OEM or SI), it may be covered by a longer warranty anyway and it includes the CPU.
And if you buy in EU, you get the 2-year legal warranty as well.

Created an account specifically to say THANK YOU!

And please continue to post benchmarks for software development for future processors. Yes, show some love for visual studio. Not everyone does graphics and simulation programming....It's infuriating how hard it is to find benchmarks that answer the simple question of 'how much faster can my code compile with XXX processor'.

Would love to see how AMD's 3950X - 3970X stack up against the 9900KS

Thanks for the positive feedback. Unfortunately AMD decided they "don't have enough samples" of these CPUs

They forgot to test performance single core at same clock relative to price. From there you can see the truth about the cpu. Intel might have higher clocks but that produces also more heat and consumes more power.

Just waiting this CPU coming to swiss seller's and i will buy it right away.

Then my good old 4790k that served me for 6 years can retire for good and see you in 5 years as a minimum for an upgrade.

Why waste the money? Swiss people has too much of them.

while i agree on the waste of money that CPU is, on the second part of that sentence : actually ... nope, thanks for the cliche ... for instance if i was foolish enough to take a 9900KS it would need a 3 month tiered billing ... and i would not be able to buy other components on the same order
(well at last i would be able to take a good X570 mobo plus a R6 3600X for the price of a single 9900KS )

Why you guys always judge what people is buying ? Why you are so interested and so damn worried about people that doesnt buy the same thing that you bought ?
Do you guys have some personal issues as many in this forum and others ?

You gotta stop this dumb thing leave people what they want to to with their own money !!!

Why i have to buy AMD BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT AMD ?? TELL ME WHY ? I have my own tastes i have my own ideas my own experience and needs i do my choice whatever ! And you are NOBODY to tell me that i did a mistake just because what YOU HAVE BOUGHT ITS CHEAPER and nothing more than that than cheaper ! Does not perform better its performing equal or a little bit worse !
If you want to hit high FPS in games you are better with Intel ! STILL INTEL yes !

I DONT GIVE A FFFFFFF to AMD !! Do you understand ?

I do not go to the AMD forum's and post saying YOU GUYS DONE MISTAKE BUYING AMD BLA BLA BLA GNE GNE GNE ! I dont do that !! Why you AMD fanboys are doing this over and over again ?

Stop this childish behavior you guys are just showing how immature you are.

If you only do gaming an R6 3600X is just enough. Or you like to brag with Intel CPU....
I've been in Switzerland 8 times in 6 years now and most the swiss people are rich compared to the rest of EU. Therefore I meant what I wrote before.
Sorry to be little off topic.

Your reply just proves that I have right. Swiss people are self-important people with heavy wallets. They don't know the people outside their borders, they live in their own bubble.

Can you quit with the generalizations? It's only showing an ugly side of yourself, and not "proving" anything.

I've been to Qatar, the richest country in the world (per capita). Therefore everyone in Qatar is rich

The reality is that the majority of Qatar's inhabitants (1.5m of the 2.6m population) are barely elevated above slave labour, earning around $20 a day with no benefits like medical or pension.

Swiss salaries are higher, on average, than other countries, but the cost of living in Switzerland is proportionately high.

i did not target you in that post tho i did agree on one point, but that doesn't mean i would say : "you shouldn't buy Intel CPU's because it's a waste of money" it's your money : your call ... i didn't imply anything else

also i am no brand loyal either.

There's no need to become angry just because someone pointed out the fact that considering alternatives, the Core i9-9900KS is a terrible value for your money. You're more than welcome to buy it though, just don't try to justify it with logic, because there is none. Buying anything "special edition" is purely an emotional decision.

Same words was said to me before i bought my 4790K like when it was launched and this is the chip that i currently using and its almost 6 years old. Ive always gamed on it for entire nights and evenings on the week ends and lately i overclocked to 4.7Ghz due to the loss in peformance because it start to showing his age.

I bought my 4790K not by emotions or to just show " how big it is my.... " IT was the best performer for my needs thats the reason.

Those people who bought cheaper chips and said to me that i throwed away my money they changed PC like 3 times in 6 years and i never changed my Z97 Maximus Impact VII nor my 4790K.

4790K

+1 for 4790K, replaced it just a few months ago in my work rig, with 8700k, and tbh not really noticing any difference in day to day perf
