Intel has conscionable introduced a caller desktop processor, the Core i9-13900KS, that tin scope up to 6GHz without overclocking, making it the fastest desktop processor available. This is made imaginable by the processor's Thermal Velocity Boost feature, which allows the spot to tally faster erstwhile it’s chill enough.

The i9-13900KS is an upgraded mentation of the i9-13900K, which Intel released past fall. The main differences betwixt the 2 processors are that the older spot reached a maximum velocity of 5.8GHz and had a little basal powerfulness of 125W compared to 150W successful the caller chip. However, the i9-13900KS has the aforesaid fig of cores (24), magnitude of cache (36MB) and fig of PCIe lanes (20) arsenic the i9-13900K. In addition, the caller processor is compatible with Z790 and Z690 motherboards; however, an updated BIOS is recommended.

The Thermal Velocity Boost is simply a diagnostic successful 11th Gen and aboriginal Intel Core chips that lets them tally faster erstwhile they’re cool. It does this by expanding the timepiece frequence by 100 MHz erstwhile the somesthesia is beneath a threshold of 70 degrees C. However, you'll request a bully cooling solution to get the astir retired of it.

This merchandise comes earlier the motorboat of AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X3D, which is acceptable to beryllium released successful February. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D tin scope modular speeds of 5.7GHz and has 144MB of 3D V-Cache technology, which allows for much cache to beryllium added to the CPU. The i9-13900KS is disposable starting today, with a suggested starting terms of $699.
