Earlier this year, Intel announced some interesting news for its customer base, the Intel Core i9-9900KS. The specially binned Core i9-9900K is a 4ghZ base clock chip that will be released in October. But how much will it cost? Intel has not yet confirmed the price, but it seems that an Australian retailer has leaked the details.
According to the CPU list in Mwave, Intel Core i9-9900KS will cost $ 899 to our friends in the country. Given that there is generally a difference of $ 200- $ 300 between prices in the US. UU. And AUS, we can expect the new Intel CPU to cost around $ 600 in the United States.

The prices are not official and the list could be a mistake, but the price seems correct. The i9-9900K costs $ 499 with a 4.7GHz full core turbo, 3.6GHz base clock and 5GHz single core frequency. Comparatively, the i9-9900KS has a 4.0 GHz base clock, a full-core 5 GHz turbo and 5 GHz single-core performance, and support for DDR4 2666 MHz.
Being $ 100- $ 200 more than i9-9900K seems reasonable given the specifications. However, higher specifications, although they offer better performance, also mean that it consumes more energy.
The i9-9900KS needs 127W of power to operate, while the 9900K only takes 95W. The TDP information, although coming from a reliable source, is not yet officially confirmed by Intel.
Earlier this month, ASUS released a BIOS update that adds support for 9900KS to its motherboards. Other motherboard manufacturers must still do the same, but near its launch in October, they expect more motherboard manufacturers to support the latest from Intel.
