12900KS

My two dont even register on their stats. My KS were 84 and 85, their lowest 88 and was only 1 percent. Talk about me having extreme bad luck looking at those stats. Geez.

he is showing P core not overall.
YOu are saying overall 84 and 85. Do you have any screens from bios showing P core SP?

and they would have most likely been on 1304 bios which reports higher that 1403

Ah of course you are right. He does mention that in the video. My mistake. I do have screen shots. The SP84 Pcore only is 91 and the SP85 Pcore is 92. The Pcore 91 is the "stronger" of the two CPU's performance wise.

Have also heard that 1304 does report higher.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Cheers

901 to 1304 and even all the beta bios inbeteen didn’t change my sp.

My KS has arrived, batch V

Apex BIOS 1403

SP 83
SP P 90
SP E 70

That's another dog to the collection

P core SP should still be around a 98-100sp K sku pcore.

woppy101 · 10 Apr 2022 at 10:57

I can’t believe people are wasting their money on these chips, just buy a k or a KF

fat4l · 11 Apr 2022 at 20:48

So anyone was lucky enough to find any great KS?

Gave my 12900KS a quick spin around the old Heaven 4 bench.

Card I was using running on air overclocked but with stock power limit and volts.

Hi guys, anyone found any high SP KS chip ? 105+ on P cores

RSR · 20 Apr 2022 at 13:21

My second KS

Ironically X Batch this time, every V batch I have had has been a dud.

Quiet happy now

Maybe Intel do it to make gamers cpu's like the 12700K appear great value? Same number of P cores, half the price.

The 'E' in E-Cores stands for E-Peen. If you have a 12900K or KS, your E-Peen is twice as big.

Raptor Lake CPUs will give customers an opportunity to double their E-Peen size again.

On Intel laptops, the E-Peen size is scalable.

If disabling hyperthreading is such an energy saver, why don't they do it on the P-Cores, like they do with E-Cores?

I think you are miss informed, it stands for E-Waste.

I thought it meant ExtraL3 since that’s what you get when disabling them.

So what are owners thoughts on their systems? Heat/power/cost aside I am assuming owners are very happy with their chips.

Are there things you wish would be improved?
