The Core i9-9900KS is announced by Intel that this processor will arrive on October 30 and will be around 550 euros

Officially presented the Intel Core i9-9900KS processor, which will hit the market on October 30 and will cost about 550 euros.

During the last few months we have talked a lot about the Intel Core i9-9900KS processor. The company had already started talking about this processor, which had not been officially presented. This 8-core and 16-thread processor that will reach 5.0GHz in all its cores will be released on October 30. It will not have integrated graphics to lower temperatures a bit.

A few hours ago, Intel also released its third-quarter results. Interestingly, the company achieved its highest revenue ever, exceeding forecasts by $1.2 billion. Nearly 50% of its sales came from the data center segment, while the desktop processor market contracted by 5%.

Up to 5.0GHz in all its cores

This new Intel processor, as we said, has 8 cores and 16 processing threads. It works at a base frequency of 4.0GHz and in Boost mode it will reach 5.0GHz on all cores. It has 16MB of Smart Cache, has up to 40 PCIe 3.0 x16 lanes and a TDP of 127W. This processor is based on the Skylake architecture and 14nm ++ lithography.

The company sells this processor as 35% more powerful in games than its predecessors. Specifically, "compared to a PC from 3 years ago." It will surely also be more powerful than an Intel Q6600, but the current competition is not the 6700K with 4 cores and 8 threads, but the Ryzen 3000.

Main features of this processor

• 4.0GHz base frequency and in Boost mode it reaches 5.0GHz in all cores
• 8 cores and 16 processing threads, 16MB of Smart Cache, 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes and a TDP of 127W
