9900KS...

[facepalm]Looks like it [/facepalm]
Some people forget that there are peple that got money to burn. I'w met a guy taht upgraded CARBON sppoiler to SAME DESIGN carbon spoiler with different carbon wave in patern cause liked it more. Cost him 2000.... Not lighter just looked different up close.
In this perspective moving from k to ks is actually sensible upgrade at lest its tiny bit better.
 
Spot on same as NV does not need to do anything on GPU side to come on top of AMD.

I’m not sure. Nvidia are very competitive in some ranges and uncompetitive in others. I’ve just bought five 5700XT cards after upgrading my own system. I thought Nvidia would have bettered the 5700 cards by now. Same goes for the 570,580,590 and Vega cards.
 


We managed to hit a 5.2GHz all-core overclock with no AVX offset using 1.375V and Turbo LLC in the Gigabyte motherboard UEFI. This resulted in a software-read voltage of 1.380-1.392V when under load, which was just manageable with our Corsair H100X 240mm AIO cooler with 2435 RPM fans. We will be outlining the Core i9-9900KS CPU’s performance while using Gigabyte Z390 Aorus XTREME motherboard. A 16GB (2x8GB) kit of 3200MHz CL14 DDR4 memory serves our test system. https://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/CPUZ-Stock.jpg

My 3800x is as fast as the 9900KS @5.2GHz OC in time spy cpu.

Or should we go for the other review.
Intel: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32GB DDR4-3200 @ 3200 MT/s (16-18-18-38), there is nothing odd here. No overclock and past 12k cpu score?

In games the 9900k/ks is faster though, that’s all that matters to most.

3DMark is quite boring after you’ve seen it once.
 
Isn't pcper Ryan Shrout's old place of work before he went to work for Intel? Looking at the power usage I wonder if they have power limited the 9900ks to it's maximum TDP in the motherboard as 289 watts load can't be explained away with the presence of the other hardware.

I do alright in games, this is off topic but take a look at the 3800x vs 9900k thread. It's hard to tell but a 3800x appears to be just as capable in games when you tighten the RAM timings and OC RAM to 3800/IF1900.

Anandtech did a nice breakdown of the TDP/Watt calculation on their 9900K review and also the 9900K Asrock Phantom followup. They also did a good write up on their 95W testing in a separate article.

In gaming i couldn’t feel much difference day to day at stock when i set a 95W TDP limit but it was clearly visible in synthetics.
