Intel has announced a new flagship Core i9-13900KS desktop processor. This is claimed to be the world’s first desktop processor that can reach a maximum turbo frequency of 6.0 Ghz, and is a special edition model of the 13900K.
The biggest difference between the 13900KS and 13900K is that the new flagship processor gains a 200Mhz boost when it comes to the maximum turbo speed, taking it from 5.8Ghz to 6.0Ghz. In order to do this, the brand has used binned silicon, ensuring only top-notch parts have gone into manufacturing the 13900KS.
Other than this, the 1300KS also has a higher base power limit when compared to the 13900K. The latter had a limit of 125W while the former has a limit of 150W. The maximum turbo speed of both processors stands at 253W. However, the 13900KS is equipped with a feature known as the Extreme Power Delivery Profile, due to which the power limit of the processor gets bumped up to 320W. This is why it can achieve higher clock speeds.
Apart from the difference in the turbo speed, the two processors are similar in all other specifications. As the 13900KS has been created using binned silicon, it may offer better performance when it comes to exotic cooling due to extreme overclocking.
The Intel Core i9-13900KS desktop processor is available for $699 or approximately ₹56,907.34
