Intel has been talking about its Core i9-9900KS processor for months now. It was all the way back in May that the company first revealed what would become the new flagship processor in its mainstream computing platform. The processors are built from the same slab of silicon – an 8-core, Coffee Lake-refresh based die, packaged up for Intel’s LGA1151 socket. What makes the Core i9-9900KS different from its predecessor are its base and turbo boost clocks, in addition to its TDP. Whereas the Core i9-9900K has a base-clock of 3.6GHz and a single-core turbo boost clock of 5GHz, the Core i9-9900KS cranks the base clock up to an even 4GHz and all eight of its cores can turbo up 5GHz. Those higher clocks result in a higher TDP as well, though. Intel's Core i9-9900KS rated TDP is 127 watts.
With clock frequencies so high and the ability to boost all cores to the peak turbo frequency simultaneously, it’s all but certain that the Core i9-9900KS is going to be the fastest processor Intel has produced for its mainstream platform to date.
