Intel Announces Core i9-9900KS, World's Best Processor for Gaming Made Better

[efikkan]

I agree but even if they do retest it is not going to end up in higher grade bin but lower only.
Maybe when evaluation of the 9900K is done and there are chips in that bin they evaluate them again to see if they can do better than what 9900K spec says and they end-up as better quality products?
That kinda explains the KS CPU.
Anyway it seems like Intel has made a market product out of higher quality product than their previous purpose.

What bins they use may change as yields change and new products are launched, but at the time of testing they still know everything they need to know to know this is a golden sample etc. If yields change, they can introduce new bins, but they don't "re-bin" CPUs to achieve that, just change which bin chips go into.

Nothing "sure" about it.
For starters, you'd need to overpower the game in terms of GPU, for even see any difference.
For which TPU ended up running 720p game tests with overprice piece of crap like 2080Ti.

I would like to see the guys who buy a RTX 2080 Ti to run games in 720p.
CPUs like i9-9900K, i7-9700K, i7-9600K and i7-8700K are already faster than needed for current games and GPUs, bumping the clock more wouldn't do much except for a handful of edge cases. All of these will probably be plenty fast for gaming for several years.

5.2Ghz. All 8-cores All 16-threads activated.

Mankind moving forward. (if only by a little bit)

It's expensive, but not really when you consider the cost of extreme edition CPUs... there is absolutely a market for this stuff. Plenty of people bought the $1000+ QX6850 back in the day, when you could reach similar results by overclocking the Q6600 for half the price.

I'm guilty i bought one pushed it to 5.3

Newest member of the Mile-High Binning Club,

Feels Good, doesn't it?

I did a 5.6Ghz CPU-Z single thread bench today - scored 676.8

CPU-Z single thread bench seems to increase by 20 unit points for every 100Mhz

So:
5.0Ghz will score 556
5.1Ghz will score 576
5.2Ghz will score 596
5.3Ghz will score 616
5.4Ghz will score 636
5.5Ghz will score 656
5.6Ghz will score 676

The Chiller Zone:
5.7Ghz will score 696
5.8Ghz will score 716
5.9Ghz will score 736
6.0Ghz will score 756

My work rig is set up for ST performance so my MT score is shameful, don't look.

Also in this screenshot, I disabled the 4400Mhz 17-17-17-34 ddr4 overclock, thinking this would improve my score. In reality, the benchmark scores the same whether your ddr4 is overclocked or not. lol

That 5.2Ghz 9900KS BadBoy sold out in 90minutes.

Probably only had one.

Pretty good to even find a single 5.2Ghz bin in the first early sampling, first day of binning and availability. In all probability, Siliconlottery.com is most likely to find a few more.

Yes mine runs 5.2 with ease just set core clock to 52 and good to go
