Basically no extra performance over 13900k. It's a dumpster fire and a joke in conclusion.
That will be a bone stock heavily overvolted and untuned review of it. Once you dial the proper LLC and AC_LL / DC_LL it would operate much cooler and more efficient.
My hopes for the KS is a better binned IMC for higher mem overclocking and overall lower voltages needed for the same frequencies a decent 13900K needs.
You can't review custom settings though, not for mainstream. You need to review the product that a customer gets. Saying that he needs to do this and that and change this that and is like saying to review an android phone you first need to put a custom boot loader on it.
You can do one off videos for overclocking but it doesn't make sense for a large review - to be fair if he set custom bios settings and ram timings for this 13900kw then HE HAS TO also do exactly the same for every other CPU on this list and then it would take a month to make one video and you can forget about seeing reviews before product launches.
Let's face it, Anyone on these forums or even watches these reviews is not going to plug a CPU in and call it a day.
Although I agree that you can certainly get better performance tweaking settings but I know many people that used to overclock etc that can’t be bothered anymore and literally leave everything stock.Reviewers should learn to dial in the correct voltages for stock CPUs. Out of the box my 13900K ran in the high 80s. it took 20 minutes to dial it down to 50-60s with correct voltages for stock settings.
Basically the reviews you see from these guys is the absolute worst case scenario of these cpus. Anyone who spends 1 hour learning how to tune its optimal stock settings will see massive improvement whether it's AMD or Intel. Having owned both Intel and AMD though, Intel is highly more flexible when it comes to tuning so it will be interesting to see the a tuned 3D AMD vs a tuned Intel 13900K/S.

I must admit I fall foul of this more times than I'd care to admit, sometimes I just want the damn thing to work so I can focus on other things...Let's face it, Anyone on these forums or even watches these reviews is not going to plug a CPU in and call it a day.
If I bought a car and it was overheating, the first place id look is the bloody forum I decided to buy it off and find out why. But most people buying a car wouldn't go to a forum first they'd be sold by a car sales man. tech is differentI can tell you instantly you are wrong, I know quite a few people who watch 'tech tubers' and have built their own machines, and once it is together and working that is the end of it for them. You can also look at certain sections of this forum where the same thing would apply, happy to read a forum, take advice, build PC then leave it alone. Sometimes I read car forums and websites/magazines, but I don't modify the way my car works.

On the other hand the pursuit of perfection can be a long hard road so maybe it's not all bad.
That's both hilarious and depressing considering this:Beware, the Intel 2.5gbe Ethernet port on 700 series motherboards for Raptor Lake have a bug with no fix. The Ethernet has random connection drop outs and there is no fix for the port.
Users affected are encouraged to use another Ethernet port - some boards have two and the second one will be made by Realtek or Marvell which are not affected. If your board only has one port and it's this Intel 2.5gbe one then it's advised to plug in an add on Ethernet card to resolve the issue.

This is unacceptable. If it were mine it would be going back. Wi-Fi I can do without but even then it’s a feature that’s advertised so should work and again back it would go.Beware, the Intel 2.5gbe Ethernet port on 700 series motherboards for Raptor Lake have a bug with no fix.
