Intel Core i9-9900KS with all-core 5200 MHz boost could cost $1199
Silicon Lottery is selling binned Intel Core i9-9900KS processors. The 5200 MHz model goes for $1199, while the 5100 MHz variant costs $749. These are aimed at serious overclockers.
The team at Silicon Lottery has unveiled pricing for their binned and tested Intel Core i9-9900KS processors. The retailer states that all listed CPUs have undergone rigorous testing with AVX2-enabled workloads.
⤢ ВІДКРИТИA binned Core i9-9900KS processor, guaranteed stable at 5200 MHz across all eight cores, will set potential buyers back a hefty $1199.
However, Silicon Lottery hasn't forgotten about more budget-conscious enthusiasts. A chip stable at 5100 MHz will 'only' cost $749.
⤢ ВІДКРИТИIs an extra 100 MHz worth $226, or 200 MHz worth $534? That's largely a rhetorical question. Still, these pre-binned CPUs will undoubtedly find their buyers. Many prominent overclockers simply don't have the time to manually sort through hundreds of CPUs for a golden sample. For those enthusiasts, paying a premium to save valuable time is a no-brainer.
As a reminder, Silicon Lottery is in no way affiliated with Intel. If you purchase a CPU from them, you're unlikely to receive an official manufacturer's warranty, especially if the chip has been delidded.
