Expensive, Gets hot, Falls behind in multi-core performance
Look, in the current processor landscape, this chip doesn't have much of a reason to exist. You can get similar performance from a 9900K by simply overclocking, rather than paying an extra $128 (£70, AU$100). However, if you are uncomfortable with overclo...
5.0GHz on all cores, Class-leading gaming credentials, Decent all-round perf, Excellent choice of motherboards
Runs hot, particularly when OC'd, Not energy efficient, One-year warranty
Core i9-9900KS represents the culmination of Intel's mainstream desktop processor strategy for this year. The underlying Coffee Lake blueprint, still based on 14nm technology, provides decent IPC that enables the chip, at its lofty 5.0GHz all-core speed...

5GHz all-core out of the box, even in AVX workloads, Solid overclocking headroom on our sample – 5.2GHz was manageable, Higher quality silicon compared to an average Core i9-9900K (according to Intel), Fastest gaming processor on the market, Ideal for lig
Productivity and multi-threaded performance deficit versus Ryzen 9 3900X is generally large, Value versus AMD's Ryzen 3000 line-up is generally poor, 1-year warranty instead of the usual 3 years, Demands a high-end motherboard and expensive cooling to ope
The Core i9-9900KS is fundamentally a pretty simple product; Intel has taken the best of the Core i9-9900K chips, pushed the frequency even higher, and released them on a limited run as the ‘special edition' Core i9-9900KS. That's about the crux of it, an...

So, as you can see from the benchmarks, the Intel Core i9-9900KS is no slouch when it comes to performance. However, at an SRP of RM2299, I'm afraid that it isn't that much cheaper than the current 9900K CPU, which is still on the market for RM2189. For t...
Boosts to 5.0GHz on all 8 cores, Decent gaming performance
Doesn't quite beat the Core i99900K in games, Not significantly faster in heavilythreaded workloads, Only comes with a 1year warranty
Not quite the best gaming CPU in the worldThe Intel Core i9-9900KS is best thought of as just another flavour of the Core i9-9900K. There's already the Core i9-9900KF, which lacks any integrated graphics, so the Core i9-9900KS is more or less just a highe...
La instancia en la que Intel se encuentra en este momento es bastante compleja, basarse en su arquitectura de 14nm en este momento no le dará ningún chance para acercarse a AMD, menos aún si vemos como AMD sigue mejorando su arquitectura actual.La experie...
Para finalizar con esta revisión, dejamos con ustedes las conclusiones que el uso del Intel Core i9-9900KS nos dejó.Como es usual, la instalación de este procesador es simple y tradicional. Basta con montar nuestro procesador en la placa madre correspondi...

5 GHz en todos los núcleos, alto rendimiento en juegos, alto rendimiento de las aplicaciones, bajo consumo de energía durante el funcionamiento en reposo
alto consumo de energía bajo carga, se requiere un enfriamiento muy bueno, demasiado caro
Después de que AMD subiera el listón con los nuevos procesadores Ryzen, Intel tuvo que hacer lo mismo. Desafortunadamente, no es más que una pequeña actualización del Intel Core i9-9900K. Seguimos esperando una arquitectura completamente nueva, y el cambi...
