9900KS...

Been thinking the 600$/£ potential cost of this chip, it hasn’t put me off getting it.
Hopefully it’ll be as close to the current 9900k pricing and push that one down. But intel are greedy so we shall see.

One thing is im not considering its potential high price and settling and buying a 9900k, my reason for this is the silicone lottery on those is going to be few and far between while they maintain stocks of that KS.

No chance, supply of the 9900KS will be more limited than supply of 3900X. They won't be cheap or even available at all unfortunately judging by how poor supply looks. :(
 
Intel will be binning so hard to find these chips im not suprised stock will be ridiculously bad, and thus the prices will be crazy, wont be suprised if they are £750+ for a while.

I am really confused, do not most of our members have 9900K which can hit 5GHz? If this is the case, why is intel finding it so difficult to find chips which do this?

Some will do it with less voltage than others. There will be a set voltage that Intel want to keep below to hit the magical 5Ghz and this will be a level below what most on here are using when overclocking.

I think it's about them not wanting a small nuclear reactor under the heat sink. 1.25v I would imagine is pretty much a golden sample for 5ghz all core.

Initial batches yes, but the last few months made batches need more power to achieve the same speed, as the "good" chips are kept for 9900KS.

1.18v set in bios. Think i forgot to set LLC though :cool:

Sure at 720p with an RTX2080Ti and when Ryzen in comparison uses crap ram

I think you got something wrong here, 99% reviews out there use stock intel chips with 3200 Mhz ram. I am yet to see a decent overclocked Intel system with fast ram go toe to toe with Ryzen.

You take 9700k run it at stock 4600 all core and then compare it to Ryzen, gtfo. Boost that B*** to 5.2 and give it 4000 Ram.

it absolutely makes sense for people like myself who had to pay overs for a binned 9900.

600-650 is about right, as long as the binned voltage is below 1.25v.

technology moves forward and the cpu is how old now? When intel sold the most cpu there completion was the 2700x. Fast forward to now and amd have a much stronger line up vs the 9900k a 12 core cpu and a 16 core (coming) cpu.

now whilst it might seem like value to someone who paid paid a lot more for a binned chip for the main stream it doesn’t and pricing the cpu at over the gauged price of a amd 3900x to me pointless and just another marketing stunt to tide of intel till the 10 series comes out.

to me this is intel need to drop prices and they will a lot more then trying to get people to pay over the ods for the 9900ks move the 9900k to price against ryzen 7 3800x a d drop the price of i7 to just under 3700x and bring the ks in at 450 or 480 pounds and the value to performance perspective of intel changes dramatically

that’s why I think the pricing for i9 doesn’t make sense
