This Thursday (12) Intel announced the arrival of the “fastest processor for desktops” currently: Core i9-13900KS. there is a model Speeds up to 6 GHzIt outperformed the i9-13900K itself and rivals the Ryzen 9 7950X.
Last year, Intel released a model where KS ended after the first launch of the 12th-gen Intel Core Alder Lake, and it’s repeating this strategy with Raptor Lake CPUs. The processor retains the already familiar features such as hybrid architecture and 24 operating cores divided into eight performance cores and 16 efficiency cores in addition to 32 threads.
The big difference is due to very high frequencies. While the original Core i9-13900K was running at 5.8 GHz, the new Intel Core i9-13900KS, these numbers 6 GHz boost. In the past synthetic tests, the difference between the 12900K and the 12900KS was around 10%, and the expectation is that these values will remain close in the current generation.
competition and prices
Looking at the Ryzen 9 7950X, which was released in September 2022, AMD’s processor has 8 cores, 16 threads and a maximum frequency of up to 5.7 GHz. Apparently, it’s not even the final announcement of AMD’s new processor, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D. Cache vertical stacking technologyIt will be able to overcome the obstacle imposed by Intel.
In fact, the 0.2 GHz difference shouldn’t affect the gaming scene too much, and the processor is being launched as a 100% activated version of the chip more than anything else. Even so, we have to wait for more tests to confirm how far the CPU can go.
Intel Core i9-13900KS already Can be purchased at international retail for $699 (R$ 3.6 thousand in direct conversion). The Core i9-13900K can be purchased in the Brazilian market for R$4,499.

For those looking for performance while gaming, this Intel Core i5-12400F Processor is ideal as it has 18MB cache, 2.5GHz (4.4GHz Max Turbo), LGA 1700.
