On the first day of CES 2022, Intel and AMD released their own desktop/mobile chips. A chart of the test results of six games of the Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D compared to the i9-12900K has made many netizens boil. Fortunately, Intel left a backhand and inadvertently announced the existence of the i9-12900KS, and the most eye-catching data is that its maximum acceleration frequency can reach 5.5GHz.
If you're familiar with recent generations of Intel's flagship processors, you probably know that the i9-12900KS is the first KS Special Edition since the Core i9-9900KS. The KS version means that a chip with a special physique can be used to achieve higher frequencies without significant voltage increases, and the power consumption can be controlled at a reasonable level.
Official confirmation, the maximum acceleration frequency of i9-12900KS can reach 5.5GHz, which is the height that a single large core can reach, which is 300MHz higher than the i9-12900K.
At the same time, the large-core full-core acceleration frequency is 5.2GHz, which is 400MHz higher than the i9-12900K.
In other respects, the i9-12900KS is still 8 large, 8 small, 16 cores, 24 threads, 14MB L2 cache, 30MB L3 cache, integrated core UHD 770, 32 units. The i9-12900KS will ship at the end of the quarter. In terms of price, considering that the i9-12900K is already 4999 yuan, the i9-12900KS is estimated to be close to 6000 yuan.
