The new Core i9-9900KS is an 8-core processor that will run at 5.0 GHz during single core workloads and multi-core workloads.

Intel's answer to the upcoming Zen2 release?

 

[Stephanie Peterson]

Yep the "new" 9900KS - "S" for "special" as thats what you would have to be to fall for this nonsense.
Why would i want a massively hot, overclocked (because thats what it is, a binned and overclocked chip) 8 thread (after mitigations) old bag of crap like this?

300 mhz bump, whoopee. Intel scraping the barrel.

Makes you think are Intel really worried about the Ryzen launch.

 

[Alexrose1uk]

To me that suggests the rumours of the 12C or 16C 5GHz Ryzen 3000 may actually be correct; as Intel seem to be trying to counter.

 

[RavenXXX2]

How does an extra 300mhz counter 8 more ryzen threads of the 12 core. Intel are desperate.

 

[AStaley]

It’s a stop gap to get their name in front of people’s eyes before AMD’s announcement, we already know they don’t have an answer for Zen2 until Comet Lake at the end of the year.

It's better if they don't release any "answer". 250 W official TDP, say hello

Toasty!

Well winter is coming getting pretty chilly already. Comon amd get the tdp of your chips up we need some heat.

This is such a dud move by Intel

Like I mean a 5ghz 9900k would be fine, if they also announced they dropped the price by 50%

Exactly, release something, anything!

The bottom of the 14nm barrel must be polished to a mirror shine by now.

It's like the second coming of Prescott

 

[Sargatanas2511]

Nothing but a last ditch effort to bring anything they can out. It'll probably show as a 95W tdp because it's the same base clock as the 9900K and probably be a premium bin so be rare and expensive.

 

[MaXxBoulton]

so this is 14++++S right?

You nuts?
With that super high power consumption/heat output it's of course going to cost 50% more for doing double job as room heater.

5Ghz Ryzen, lol

 

[Scougar]

I love that Forbes listed it as potential 'Ryzen killer' lol.

Wasn't it already being pushed to the max? Second.... AT WHAT COST????? I can only imagine this thing is gonna be insanely expensive.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's cool to see another faster chip about to be released... just very curious on the cost.

 

[tekkas]

Looks like this was Intel's attempt at damage control after AMD dropped the killer blow with its keynote haha
