Intel Core 19-13900KS

The 13th Gen Core i9-13900KS is structurally identical to the Core i9-13900K, with the same number of cores and the same amount of cache memory. However, the Core i9-13900KS is binned more aggressively and can reach that 6GHz max turbo frequency on one or two of its P-cores, depending on the workload and thermal conditions.

It is a first for the industry to achieve 6GHz on a mainstream desktop CPU.

THE CORE i9-13900KS, like the Core i9-13900K, has a 24-core (32-thread) die that is integrated into one package and is split evenly between performance and efficiency. In addition to its 150W Processor Base Power rating and 32MB L2 cache, the processor can deliver a maximum of 253W under its Turbo Boost setting. However, when using an enthusiast-grade motherboard and cooler, the chip's maximum power level can be "unlocked", increasing its peak power consumption.

Base frequency for the i913900KS is 2.4GHz for the E-cores. and 3.2GHz for the P-cores, with a Turbo frequency for the P-cores of up to 5.8GHz. E-core speeds on the 13900KS can reach up to 4.3GHz. The chip can reach speeds of up to 6GHz with both turbo and Intel Thermal Velocity Boost enabled.
