Intel has simply introduced a brand new desktop processor, the Core i9-13900KS, that may succeed in as much as 6GHz with out overclocking, making it the quickest desktop processor to be had. That is made conceivable via the processor’s Thermal Speed Spice up function, which permits the chip to run quicker when it’s cool sufficient.

The i9-13900KS is an upgraded model of the i9-13900K, which Intel launched final fall. The principle variations between the 2 processors are that the older chip reached a most velocity of five.8GHz and had a decrease base energy of 125W in comparison to 150W within the new chip. On the other hand, the i9-13900KS has the similar selection of cores (24), quantity of cache (36MB) and selection of PCIe lanes (20) because the i9-13900K. As well as, the brand new processor is appropriate with Z790 and Z690 motherboards; alternatively, an up to date BIOS is really helpful.

The Thermal Speed Spice up is a function in eleventh Gen and later Intel Core chips that allows them to run quicker once they’re cool. It does this via expanding the clock frequency via 100 MHz when the temperature is beneath a threshold of 70 levels C. On the other hand, you can want a just right cooling method to get essentially the most out of it.

This unencumber comes sooner than the release of AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X3D, which is about to be launched in February. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D can succeed in usual speeds of five.7GHz and has 144MB of three-D V-Cache generation, which permits for extra cache to be added to the CPU. The i9-13900KS is to be had beginning as of late, with a recommended beginning value of $699.
