Intel’s first 6 GHz CPU “Core i9-13900KS” has appeared in the Geekbench 5 benchmark database. From the point of view of running points, its multi-thread performance is 10% higher than that of 13900K, and its single-thread performance can also be 5% higher.
The Intel Core i9-13900KS has 8 P cores and 16 E cores for a total of 24 cores and 32 threads. , up to a “Thermal Velocity Boost” frequency of 6 GHz and a “Turbo Boost Max” frequency of 5.8 GHz, with P cores up to 5.4 GHz and E cores up to 4.3 GHz.
Core i9-13900KS 8+16 (24/32) – 3.2 / 6.0 GHz – 66 MB cache, 150W (PL1) / 253W (PL2)+
Core i9-12900KS 8+8 (16/24) – 3.4 / 5.5 GHz – 30 MB cache, 125W (PL1) / 241W (PL2)
This processor is equipped with 68 MB of cache, and the PL1 power rating can reach 150W, and it can reach 253W or more when fully loaded. The CPU is expected to hit the retail market in early 2023, priced at $799 (approximately RMB 5,569), and the quantity is limited.
In terms of single-core performance, this CPU has a 10% improvement compared to the i9-12900KS, and a multi-thread performance improvement of 40%.
Although the Core i9-13900KS will be $100~200 more expensive than the Core i9-13900K and has higher power, this chip will be the first processor that can reach a frequency of 6GHz by default. It is of great significance to the industry.
