12900KS

Probably.

The 5800X3D is likely to be faster than the 12900K so Intel squeezed the everloving Jesus out of their silicon for the 12900KS to take the gaming crown back.

Intel didn't do anything. As I said, it's not a respin or anything. Just binned dies. Intel internally tracks all chips as part of validation testing so they know the good ones.

These are just chips with good V/F curves. You can get lucky and get a similar 12900k/f as well still.

I wonder if the KS will be all X batch numbers, as they seem to be the better bin.

In a set of few hundred binned, Batch had no correlation to quality.

Is that the Buildzoid info or elsewhere?

The only reason I ask is every V Batch I have had, granted a very small sample size has been pretty poor on the SP scale. Where as I know others with X batch which have been much better but causation does not equal correlation.

I'd have thought that each assembly plant would get a shipment and the quality would vary, so e.g. Chinese CPUs might be better than Vietnam for one batch, but inferior for another? Malaysia was very common for 8th/9th gen, but retail Rocket/Alder seem to be predominantly Chinese.

Buildzoid got the data from the guys in our group. They kept the 110sp’s for hwbot scores and the sold them off.

Intel engineer working on the CPU’s confirmed batch no means nothing.
 
If the 12900KS ends up just 1% faster overall than the 5800X3D (even with an extra 8 low power cores), but costs twice as much, I don't think many are gonna go for that.

The KS could have replaced the 12900K, but Intel can't produce enough super binned dies I suppose.

At least you get the mega L3 cache amounts with the V-Cache CPU, which is likely to give it an advantage in many games.
