At the very end of May this year, Intel announced a new flagship desktop processor. , which will go on sale only in the fourth quarter. In the meantime, a record of testing a system with this chip was found in the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark database, due to which it can be compared with a regular Core i9-9900K.
To begin with, we recall that the new Core i9-9900KS, which was released last year, will differ in higher clock frequencies. The base frequency of the novelty has increased from 9 to 9900 GHz, but the maximum Turbo frequency has remained the same - 3,6 GHz. But if in the Core i4,0-5,0K only two cores can automatically overclock to such a frequency, then in the new Core i9-9900KS, all eight cores can reach the 9 GHz mark at once.
The higher frequency of all cores allowed the new processor to achieve a better result in 3DMark Fire Strike. The new Core i9-9900KS was able to score 26 points (Physics score), while the result of the regular Core i350-9K in the same test is about 9900 points. It turns out that the increase was a little more than 25%. Taking into account the fact that the frequency increased by 000%, the increase in performance turned out to be quite natural.
Accordingly, we can assume that the Core i9-9900KS will allow Intel to secure its leadership position in terms of gaming performance. Although the current Core i9-9900K performs quite well in this kind of workload and confidently bypasses the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X. At the same time, it is worth noting that under high load, the Core i9-9900K consumes more energy than the competitor, respectively, the new Core i9-9900KS will be even more βgluttonousβ.
Unfortunately, the exact release date of the Core i9-9900KS has not yet been determined, as well as its cost. It is expected that the novelty will be on sale by the season of the New Year holidays.
