May 26, 20197 yr How much of a difference in performance would one expect to a 9900K which boosts up to 5 GHz on all cores only when necessary and remains at 3.6 GHz base frequency without much demand?

May 27, 20197 yr Sounds great, but as one of the commenters to that article remarked, a security flaw will be found and the patch will greatly reduce the core speeds. That does seem to be the path for Intel CPU's go these days.

May 27, 20197 yr One thing for sure when the tester`s get there hands on this one they will not stop at 5Ghz. Raymond Fry.

Intel Announces 8 Core i9-9900KS: Every Core at 5.0 GHz, All The Time Very interesting. I configured by Haswell (i7-4770K, still a champ) to run at 4.5GHz on all 4 cores all the time and it runs P3D like nobody's business. In fact, I've been running it that way for about 3 years, and I fly and use the computer a LOT! As a former computer engineer I have to admit I'm not sure which is better longevity wise, ramping up and down of processors or having them run at a constant speed (with adequate cooling), but thus far I've not had any issues whatsoever.

May 28, 20197 yr I still have a 2006 vintage X6800 Conroe CPU running at a 35% overclock. It's my last WinXP box, which I use with a couple of orphaned devices and software packages that are still, on occasion, useful. And all of those that followed...an i7-975, i7-2600K, i7-4790K, i7-7700K, and i7-8086K are all still running at fairly aggressive overclocked voltages and speeds. The excellent experience I've had with my 8086K (a top-binned 8700K) would lead me to try the KS if I ever decided to go with a 9900K.

I've been waiting (and waiting, and waiting...) to build a new system with a processor that flipped my switches and came close with the 8086K, but just wanted more than that.

May 28, 20197 yr AMD could possibly take over the CPU mantle from Intel over the next few years. I'd hold off on any high end system purchase until this change shakes out. AMD just announced its 7 nm CPUs: https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/26/amd-unveils-the-12-core-ryzen-9-3900x-at-half-the-price-of-intels-competing-core-i9-9920x-chipset/ Intel may release 7 nm server CPUs in 2021.

Yep, the 9900KS is definitely something I'll be looking at. And an easy drop in for those who already own a Z370 board. Although I'm too cheap to pay their prices at release... webeesee after a few weeks or months. Until then my 8086K will "struggle" along! Greg
May 29, 20197 yr One of the tech youtubers I follow "JayzTwoCents" had a new video yesterday talking about Ryzen 2 and things to think about when planning a new build in relation to the computex announcements. He mentioned the 9900KS and said it's not uncommon for the 9900K to already hit 5Ghz (obviously your luck in the "silicon lottery" will apply) and then referred to the 9900KS as the "9900 Keep Spending). Still, it's a good choice obviously for someone who has the money and wants to guarantee they hit the speeds without the hassle of dialing in an OC.
