I mean... If you already have the board and sufficient cooling.... It might be a reasonable upgrade.
The difference is the KS is 5ghz 1.3v or lower And no avx offset (guaranteed stable)
Not all 9900k can do that, in fact most cannot and silicon lottery I think charges $999 for such a chip
Chances are if you are happy with a bit more voltage and some avx offset you’ll be able to push these to 5.2/5.3ghz and that’s really what you’re paying for - having these go 200mhz to 300mhz higher using the same settings as most 9900k take just to get 5ghz

Had TH7-II w/RDRam, *damn* that sucker was fast! Def could tell a speed difference between that and the DDR version.

they charge $579 and it as an AVX offset of 2, Also you makeing an assumption the 9900ks doesn't have an AVX offset and your assuming the volts are under 1.3v.
the CPU is not yet on intel ark and none have had it in the hand.
Brilliant to see that intel have decided to keep all the good 9900k back and sell them as a new chip.
It’s the 8086 all over again, presume that 9900k will start to get worse OC results from about now on any new stock as with the 8700k.

whats more some people will sell 9900k's to get an 9900KS

Right, and the only difference between them is the S in the name.
Its like when you ask those people who queue for 6 hours outside the Apple store what new features they are looking forward to on the new iPhone, they look at you in bemusement for asking such a ridiculous question before bursting out like a deranged 6 year old on a Christmas morning "its a new iPhone stupid!!! are YOU crazy??????"
