Core i9-9900KS processor available October 30 for $513
Intel's Core i9-9900KS launches October 30 for $513. It features 8 cores, 5GHz all-core boost, 127W TDP, but only a one-year warranty.
Yesterday, Intel officially announced the launch of its new Core i9-9900KS flagship. The chip will be available on October 30th for $513.
Turns out, the processor will only be $25 more expensive than the Core i9-9900KF and just $38 more than the Core i9-9900K.
Overall, this is a pretty good deal for well-heeled gamers and enthusiasts. Consider this: a stable 5000MHz across all eight cores for a suggested price of $513. The only trade-off is the increased power consumption, jumping from 95W to 127W. Keep that in mind if you're planning to buy this CPU.

The rest of the specifications remain unchanged and completely match Intel's previous flagship processors, the Core i9-9900KF and Core i9-9900K, for the LGA1151 socket.
The Core i9-9900KS processor features an unlocked multiplier, 8 cores, 16 threads, a 4000MHz base clock, a 5000MHz all-core turbo frequency, a 127W TDP, and 16MB of L3 cache.
However, it turns out this processor has a rather unpleasant quirk: Intel is only offering a one-year warranty for the Core i9-9900KS.
Generally, for a factory-overclocked processor pushed to its limits, this isn't entirely unusual. Still, you should be aware of this before buying.
