Intel Core i9-9900KS: TDP of 127 Watts and clock from 4 to 5 GHz
The technical specifications of the new Intel CPU expected to make its commercial debut in October emerge, albeit not officially. Increasing consumption to make room for higher performance.
New details emerge on the technical specifications of the Intel Core i9-9900KS processors, top-of-the-range proposals from the American company that will be on sale starting in October. This CPU will reproduce the same number of cores, 8 of the Core i9-9900K model now on the market but with the plus given by the higher clock frequency.
Thanks to the information indicated by ASUS in its website, with the list of processors compatible with the latest versions of the bios for its motherboards that now also include the Core i9-9900KS model, what should be the definitive specifications of this CPU.
The TDP is equal to 127 Watts, a value higher than the 95 Watts indicated for the Core i9-9900K model, while the default clock frequency passes to 4 GHz from the 3.6 GHz of the 9900K model. We recall that the TDP value indicated by Intel is guaranteed only at the base clock frequency of 4 GHz; taking advantage of the Turbo Boost technology implemented in these processors the maximum frequency increases up to touch the 5 GHz with all the cores exploited to 100% of the potential, but also the consumption goes beyond the TDP value.
These specifications clearly indicate that the new CPUs will require motherboards with adequately structured power supply circuitry, as well as a cooling system capable of eliminating the heat generated by the CPU both with default clock frequency and, above all, going beyond. Turbo clock frequency.
It now remains to be seen what the official price of this processor will be; the Core i9-9900K model is offered for $488, excluding taxes, in the American company’s price list for batches of 1,000 processors.
