Core i9-13900KS 6 GHz CPU Beats Core i9-13900K By 10 Percent In New Benchmarks

It’s no secret that Intel is preparing the Core i9-13900KS to rival the best CPUs on the market. Special edition Raptor Lake processors boost up to an impressive 6 GHz. However, early benchmarks revealed that the Core i9-13900KS may not be much faster than the existing flagship Raptor Lake chip, the Core i9-13900K.

The Core i9-13900KS keeps the same recipe as the Core i9-13900K with 24 cores and 32 threads. Additionally, the configuration consists of 8 P cores and 16 E cores. So the Core i9-13900KS’ performance boost is entirely due to the increased clock speed. The regular Core i9-13900K hits 5.8 GHz with Intel’s Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) technology, while the Core i9-13900KS hits 6 GHz. The extra 200 MHz makes the Core i9-13900KS slightly higher than the Core i9-13900K.
