Intel lance le processeur phare Core i9-13900KS 8P+16E à $700

Intel today formally launched the Core i9-13900KS “Lac des Rapaces” flagship desktop processor. At an MSRP of USD $700, the i9-13900KS is positioned a notch above the $590 i9-13900K, which it replaces as the top 13th Gen Core desktop part you can buy. The i9-13900KS features the same 8P+16E core-configuration as the i9-13900K, but at increased clock speeds and power limits. It is the world’s first 6 Spécifications clés, with its maximum boost frequency set at exactly 6.00 GHz, up from 5.80 GHz du i9-13900K. This is not just a minor +200 MHz speed bump, but backed by increased power-limits, which enable improved multi-threaded boost-frequency spread thanks to the Adaptive Boost Technology carried over from the previous-generation i9-12900KS.

Le 8 “l'anse des rapaces” P-cores of the i9-13900KS are clocked at 3.00 GHz base with up to 6.00 Augmentation de GHz, par rapport à 3.00/5.80 GHz du i9-13900K, while the E-core frequencies are left untouched at 2.20 GHz base and up to 4.30 Augmentation de GHz. The big change here is the processor base power value, qui est désormais fixé à 150 W, par rapport à 125 W du i9-13900K, and while the maximum turbo power value is the same 253 W, Intel has changed the way its power headroom is utilized to support improved boost frequency spread across the P-cores. It seems like Intel hasn’t sampled tech publications this processor, and the handful publications that have posted their reviews today using processors sourced from friendly retailers, report increased power-draw, and the need for large aftermarket cooling solutions even at stock frequencies. The i9-13900KS is being offered as an overclocking-friendly chip to those who know what they’re doing and can handle extreme cooling solutions.
