- Our Intel i9-9900KS review & benchmark covers the 9900K vs. 9900KS differences, overclocking, power consumption, MCE and TDP/frequency, and the AMD R9 3900X.

Our benchmarks today look at the best processors for gaming, Adobe Premiere (video editing), Blender/3D art, and more. We talk about the Intel i9-9900KS vs. 9900K differences and whether it's "worth it," part of which requires a refresher on MCE and what "5GHz" means to various motherboard manufacturers. For future search phrases, we'll note that anyone wondering why their Intel i9-9900KS isn't 5GHz can find the answer in this video -- it's probably because turbo duration limits are being followed. Enabling MCE would "fix" this, sort of, but at costs discussed in the video.
Our CPU benchmarks look additionally at the R9 3900X vs. Intel i9-9900KS, 9900KS stock vs. 9900KS 5.2GHz, and add some other CPUs like the R5 3600 or i7-8700K for perspective.

@Gamers nexus -- Worth pointing out that your EPS Power reading is not CPU power only but also includes the power lost across the VRM which is typically around 10-20W. So on the ASUS board where you read 126W, the cpu itself was actually only using 106W-116W, which is even less than Intel’s PL1 spec. And if by "Out of the box performance" you are going to mean “no BIOS fiddling whatsoever” then you should be testing with the XMP profile disabled as you need to get into the bios in order to enable it. See the problem? And for ASUS boards the moment you go to enable the XMP profile, it is going to prompt you to “load optimised defaults” which remove the power limits.
Also, it should be pointed out that no-power-limits and MCE and are not the same thing and are not viewed as the same thing by Intel. No-power-limits sticks to stock turbo frequency tables (for example the regular 9900K still only boosts to the stock all-core turbo of 4.7 GHZ but instead for only 28 seconds it does so indefinitely). MCE, on the other hand, means both no-power-limits *AND* to make the all-core turbo boost equal to the single-core turbo boost (for example for the regular 9900K with MCE enabled it means boosting to 5GHZ instead of 4.7GHz on all cores indefinitely). For warranty purposes MCE is considered an overclock by Intel. No-power-limits is NOT considered an overclock by Intel. It is stock and it is left to the motherboard vendor how the settings are configured "out of the box".
Personally I don't want to see desktop cpu reviews with power limits. If you want to include power-limited results that should be *in addition* to the non-power-limited ones and not the only ones shown.
Steve, where are the Nvidia boxes?
3900x is better for streaming and gaming shoulda mentioned that.
Hi, will you do any Ram Speed testing with the KS? I read that wether or not I'd be able to achieve 4133MHz Ram with the 9900k depends on how it's binned etc. - and with the KS, I assume that means that it should be easier to achieve a stable 4133MHz Ram-speed? But then again motherboard support might not be amazing for the KS yet when it comes to XMP profiles etc.?
I would subscribe if I would understand more of you talking clearly and slowly.
Steve so desperately wanted to talk about this, he started speaking before the GN logo intro finished showing
Or he knew he had to speak for 30 minutes to be accurate enough to be perceived as objective and avoid flamewars gallore! :P (not that he isn't impartial :-). and he wanted to get the nightmare over with🤣
this is the third (or is it fourth?) incarnation of roughly the same CPU. while it is important to make sure, i highly doubt anyone expected different results=) it's a good CPU, it's slightly better in single thread, still not a big enough difference if you actually need any SMT to choose it over 3900X=) But yes it is the fastest gaming CPU still^^ Intel beat Intel! woohoo :P
Kenneth Linde fun at parties.
@@dakheelalmutairi2715 yup :P
That Intel box clearly summarizes Steve's feelings with the product.
I thought it was a skillful product placement influencer spot!!
Is that 9900KS fascist?
it is just there to cover up the Nvidia boxes
@@zahidshabir4038 No its there to distract from the Aurora and/or Snuggle Toys product placement of that damned stuffed cat and cuddly cactus.

Bruh... Did you just predict a
9900KSE ??
@@orionarclight its gona be a 10900kse
How many days it take to think of that kid
and HOW will it make people keep spending as the ONLY people who will buy it are the people who want a new CPU but one that is THE BEST gaming CPU as all Intel have done is released a product better than their previous best in the specific tasks it is good at which is mainly gaming and high IPC and clock speed workloads which do not require lots of cores
ALSO out of the group of people who want a new gaming CPU only those who have a CPU that is older or less powerful than the 9900K will consider this as a couple FPS in games or a few seconds saved in productivity tasks is not worth a whole new CPU. People who have the 9900K will most likely only get a new CPU for gaming if it is a whole new gaming CPU instead of a binned version of their current one as a totally new CPU would be higher clocks and IPC and maybe even cores at the same power consumption or a similarly performing CPU with a lower power consumption not lets bin our CPU's and increase the power consumption to make them seem faster because they can handle more power and are still as powerful as our previous best
Bloody well hope the KS is the same price as the K. Their yields are probably fantastic considering they've been on the process for 25000 generations.
Listed on Newegg US for $570, Microcenter for $700. _If_ you ever see it at MSRP, it'll probably be several months from now.
@@DrearierSpider1 for me it's 700$ on newegg with taxes. But shipping to EU from US would probably add another 100$. So yeah, I could buy an HEDT chip or a 3950X while still saving some money. Or just count on my luck and buy a 9900K, good AiO and try not to fry it
@Peter G i love your process node love....intel marketing paid off TOM HARDY :D....
you really didn't need to like AMD to know the fact that Intel has been stagnating for years now due to their monopoly right?
@Peter G your logic sounds good on paper except when you look at the actual numbers Intel's pulling in terms of power consumption and temperatures to get that "more performance." Anyone with two functional eyes can see that Intel is floundering right now.
@Peter G ok intel fanboy
at least now 750W+ power supply manufacturers will get more business...
You don't need a 750w power supply for this...
Please stop propagating bullshit power supply myths.
@@dudebroguymate *cough* efficency curve *cough*
Efficiency? Really? You're gonna notice the difference between 90% and 92%? Even if you compared 85% to 92%, you'd save like $20/year or something.
@@dudebroguymate so what? higher efficiency is better. every little bit counts.
Can you explain why, in your opinion, it is better or are you just gonna keep telling me marketing BS I already know?
I went with the 3900x.. I do a decent amount of rendering at 1440p and my G-sync monitors' refresh rates cap at 100hz anyways.. so I'm pleased with locking in 100fps in every game I play.
Thanks for a good review as always. I'll be keeping my regular 9900K for the foreseeable future, but *might* get it delidded.
Great video.
Was waiting for a new bios in the anticipation of a 9900KS for a few months now. It's finally up for Gigabyte (with a new structure update). Neat.
Also I like the fact that you have a XFX GT 7800 in the background, what a beauty.
Makes me feel great about getting a 3900X since we use it mainly for content creation.
Surprised you're the only one w/ reviews up at the moment. Seems like you must be special 😉
Reviewers weren't permitted to give full details until today. Steve's just an overachiever :D
@@kylecoblentz5333 Glad he could be of service, and w/ a thorough assessment as usual

amazing video mate ;)
Asus used to have MCE on untill jay got called out for this and changed their default bios setting if i remember correctly
Props to Intel for adding S, not SUPER.
What a product placement of AMD on the background, Steve :D
@ByAnyOtherName091 I would buy it if it was called FX9900
As much as I enjoyed the "massive asterisks" phrasing, might I suggest "caveats" in the future to keep you out of trouble? 😆
How about... curvacious caveats?
@@thestig007 Lol.
Thanks for all the hard work on the intel version of silicon lottery steve and crew!
Great Review Steve
Massive Asterisk is a great band name!
And "Massive A*s ; the Risk" a great title for a book. B)

9900KS is an awesome CPU.
Proper review as always.
I'm thoroughly appreciating the close-ups of the Ryzen 3900X in this Intel review.
Edit: as always, amazing review Steve. You're the only channel I've seen fully cover the TDP/performance dilemma.
Just want to say thanks for not doing one of those stupid "unboxings" that the other tech channels did on this, and waiting for an actual review.
Yup idiot channel bitwit.
I love how all the NVIDIA boxes on the shelf behind him are hidden :)
ByAnyOtherName091 what conspiracy, did i miss something
i havent watched GN for a long time
@@milojkokitic6991 There was a big conspiracy about tech reviewers getting paid for showing Nvidia boxes in the background of their videos. It's been debunked, I was just having some fun!
Great review and honest, no BS.
I hope you review the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 AIO watercooler, people have been saying good things about it. Thanks for the videos, you guys are great.
I think all of the tech youtube community should do a eulogy for Kevin from Tech Showdown. Maybe a group video or something.
Damn 9900ks' overclocked minimum framerates are so good. What does the "/48" mean? Uncore multiplier? AVX clock?
i think the 48 was uncore
Cache ratio
Steve, would you consider left-aligning (rather than right-aligning) the SKUs on your charts for better readability? Thanks!
So do you have to run MCE to enable infinite PL2 on an ASUS board or are there other settings that will do it?
WOW bitwit was hitting 5.1 at 1.26v on his 9900k (non-s) that is one golden chip
Steve really is a fan of the r5 3600, wich is probably one of the best all arounders of all time (i5 2500k?)
Honestly most people are it's just good enough for just about everything.
I have to agree. Been working on some budget builds for friends who also want to do a bit of gaming, and the 3600 is a great bang for the buck. Plus you can always overclock it to be a 3600X.
@@k3salieri Just get a better cooler (Stealth is crap on par with Intel ones) and it will pretty much do that on it's own
Yep, I just replaced my i5-2500k build with a r5 3600. Really happy so far.
@@wallywest2360 Same. Great cpu.
Woohoo love this guy!!!! Keep it commen!!
would you consider a VR Version of gaming tests? real curious how its effected by CPU Freq/cores
28:55 you caught me ;p
These embargoes are so weird. All the reviews all at once. So many different views
is that all have to do with a embargo? weird yes so many same reviews same hour lol , they all should stick the heads together and doing one in all review and overclock video. Everyone try to find out the wheel for themself is pretty insane.
@@highflowhighflow9896 that's how it's been for a long time. I think the upload time must be set for as soon as the embargo ends. I'd love to see more collab videos but these guys are super busy as is
best tabbed video) your voice is charming.
Blender renders is exactly my use case, so these benchmarks are gold to me :) I used to offload them to gpus but 2.8 has mixed rendering so cpu choice matters again
r9 3950x pls come home....we're so excited to hear that you're boarding a plane and about to fly to our destination!!! see you soon!!!!!!!!!!!
hell yea go intel. anyways im still waiting on that 3950x (:
4:04 "if you're tabbed away..." you didn't have to @ me like that, damn...
it will be interesting seeing some stats from somewhere like silicon lottery about how well binned these are
ryzen cpu in the background, AMD obviously send cheques easier then nVidia :)
/s
I see green plants in the b-roll, so nvidia shill confirmed.
Not funny
Smh GN is an AMD shill
@@jakejones9502 admit it, you laughed a little
I think you should include tuned memory with your OC scores because you get sick amount of gains with dram calculator timings with Ryzen. I gained like 30-50 fps in multiplayer BFV.
@Martin M th-cam.com/video/0_wMzd6Bbs0/w-d-xo.html
Looking forward to the LN2 tests
Well, I'm glad that they figured out how to bin and re-release a product compared to the 8086k.
Will we start seeing CoD in gaming benchmarks? Love your content ❤️
The best thing about the 9900KS is that it forces the price of other CPU’s to go down and be more competitive with Ryzen CPU prices
Actually I think the consensus is that it was Ryzen that caused the Intel prices to go down to be more competitive with Ryzen ...
15:00 3900X with OC has lower power consumption than stock? are those values switched?
Did you update your BIOS before this review though? I know that certain people assumed that it wasn't necessary.
Thank god for tech Jesus. Answering the real questions. I read the techspot/hardware unboxed review first and it was absolutely useless. Aside from the clock speed difference the biggest difference is that it's binned yet in that review there was absolutely no mention of vcore and temps. I wanna see what this thing can do when undervolted.
The same as a 9900k, but a bit better, I would imagine.
What’s the vcore on this bad boy?
Last time i was this early intel wasnt ripping us off CPUs
Last time I was this early Nvidia was making CPUs
Last time I was this early ATi was doing good business
Last time I was this early AMD advertised boost clocks accurately
@@cardbored_ At least they fixed , Intel still ripping people off
Can we expect an LN2 live stream on the KS Friday?! I'm really curious as to how hard you can push these processors.
You literally answered this as soon as I clicked to post!
Due note, the KS does have silicon mitigations for Meltdown, and some variants of Spectre and MDS. This removes the need for performance degrading software mitigations.
Who remembers when AMD did the "it hits 5ghz guys!!!" With the fx9590 and it was seen as a desperation move?
Because you get the performance with this Cpu. The FX series 5.0ghz got really hot and gave you no performance advantage. With the i9 9900k you get a hot cpu but you get some really good performance
@Martin M thank you mr whiteknight
@Martin M lmao they can barely squeeze 2% performance gains out of 14nm now. The 9900KS is not amazing. Shit is more expensive than the 9900K, runs hotter, and is BARELY better performance-wise. They're doing everything they possibly can to squeeze performance out of an old ass architecture and calling it new because they're desperate and have nothing better to offer. If you're a fan of Intel, just stick with the 9900K and ignore this desperate attempt at staying relevant.
ASUS is right, following the spec needs to be the default.
So Non-S intel cpu's become as bad as Ryzen 2ng gen after a minute in heavy workload? Please.
@@TTL_Tsaki Intel's fault for defining such a limiting spec. Plus "bad" is a bit of a misnomer. It's really good.
I've seen the R7 2700X going for well south of 200 US dollars on NewEgg, making that a really good deal too.
Hi Steve and everyone at team GN, now that Blender has had a massive, and very important, update, will you start benchmarking with the new update soon ?? Do you have to benchmark all CPUs again (or at least the most important ones) ??
Also, as you grow and with more CPU releases (now with AMD properly competing) do you think retesting updated software (mainly productivity apps) with that many CPU skus is sustainable or will you gradually drop some of the older ones and build the new graphs from there (with new and upcoming CPUs) ??
Retesting with that many CPUs take a long time and as you incorporate more productivity Apps to your benchmarking suite, software updates will be a recurrent theme.
Anyway, keep up the good work mates
So part of benchmarking is having a consistent test. They'd have to wait for another version to come out to move up and then rebuild their two Blender tests. They might revise their productivity suite with the Zen 3 chips, but they also just revised it, so it'd invalidate all of the numbers they already have.
Intel i9 9900k super 😂😂
27:42 Somehow I have trouble imagining that all the AMD fanboys out there are getting moist over the thought of 7zip.
did you here that to loool im still laughing Steve starts by saying if you going to spend $500 on a 3900x and like blender and the rest looooool o my god loooooool pissing myself lol
@@topbanana4013 Yeah, 9900k(s) is clearly the better cpu at this price point (well, it's actually somewhat cheaper than 3900x at the moment)
@@Tc4ify only if you have the absolute top-tier GPU and don't use your PC for anything but gaming.
Isn't the 3900x also better for web browsing with 200+ tabs?
@@Tc4ify motherboard cost is also a thing
Thank you for those frequency and power charts for PL2 abide vs. ignore. I don't think I've actually seen results for power draw when the only change is for tau= infinity. What kind of cooler would you need for that case? Also, I've heard different claims about whether MCE-like enhancements work with locked chips. It seems like PL2 ignore could be an easy way to get a little more performance out of a locked chip. Would it be possible to test it with your i5 8400, and test results and cooling requirements. Again, thank you for your effort.
Massive Asterix and big buttons damn you riding the edge today
Getting a 9900KS from Intel vs a 9900K from Silicon Lottery? Hmmmmmmm
How much it costs on silicon lottery? Asking for a friend
Way cheaper to buy from Intel, once lottery bins, prices will be high. The reg K was $900 for 5.1 GHz at 1.312v
@@Apollo-Computers I've seen several right now that are available for like 490 ish, so like 20-30 cheaper than what the KS "should" cost, but I expect those prices to go up. The time to buy a binned 9900K was before the KS launched
@@mayonnaisefarmer I quoted prices from silicon lottery when they had the binned K CPUs
So this is intel's version of the AMD FX 9590
intel's version of AMD's useless 3800x
@Martin M how is it all around when u it only won on games
Damn... Hates on a damn good Processor but gives props to a shit CPU like the 3900x. I stopped taking these "techtuber's" seriously a good minute ago. Good luck to anyone who listens and believes these biased reviews. Just glad i'll be getting some of my money back on the FX-8350 "8 Core" CPU lawsuit. lol
It feels like an extortion tbh cuz it's been 4 years and now that amd got some money by selling some good stuff some asshole wanted to make some free profit cuz it's obvious that they want to avoid bad publicity. And btw those CPU were not so shitty at the time, they just performed lower than counterpart lul
Hi Steve. Great video and as always thank you for the information you provide. However I was wondering about the temperature at 5.2GHz, you said 99degrees C. Isn’t this a bit too much especially on long time usage in games or such?
@Mike thanks Mike. I asked because I live in Singapore. My room temp is often above 30C. Anyway I have built my new system since then, it’s a bit of an old topic :)
Hello, Steve, when you talk about CPU Power Consumption at EPS12, you give us the maximum draw? Any reason why don't you tell us the total Whatts that took to complete the benchmark? Thanks!
Next refresh i9 9900KMS
So...a 3900X is great for a PC that prioritizes content creation? Great.
Yes
I like how that giant intel box is covering up all the nvidia boxes on the shelf :D
Why are we still using ddr4 3200? Your Ryzen ddr4 3733mhz testing shows that it gives a pretty big boost to performance and 3600mhz ram has come down hugely in price now and can commonly be purchased for under $100 for 16GB, sometimes significantly less when on sale.
So the question is would you like +30FPS on gaming or -30sec on rendering a video ? …. of course if you own a 9900k you don't even consider changing the CPU until 2021 at least !
*If price doesn't matter to you.
@@tommos1 the 3900X is the same price if not more like here in France ! (630 euros both of 'em) the 9900k is 565 euros
with intel going all "look we have 5ghz!11!!!1!eleven" you should revisit the fx 9590 for something like a 5ghz war, even if its just for the lulz
Comparing the 9900K and the 9900KS on Intel's website suggests that some instruction sets have been gimped on the KS. I would probably never use things like TXT, SIPP and vPro but why would they want to turn these things off?
Remember the days of getting a full Gig out of overclocking a 2600K? Now we're supposed to get excited about sub-gig overclocks :( Sometimes I miss the old days.
Steve, why usually in most reviews there is no talk about the smoothness that brings to use as many cores as you can have in the everyday use of a PC? (same with RAM, BTW taking aside the cost of the CPU, clearly the 3600 is by far the better all around CPU today, ).I'm a graphic designer and from time to time I also record my guitar, I used to have a 12 cores Xeon in a X99 board and now a 3900x...the twelve cores makes me to mostly not have even the slightest worry about how many windows I've opened, or how many programs I've opened, or how it handles any plugin with a DAW...I have the sensation that even I can handle better fonts in Illustrator, Corel, etc..it's true that some benchamrks will preffer more cores, others higher frequencies and that like in RAM with a certain base, you can run more than good many aplications...but I clearly feel the difference in everyday use between my old 12 cores low freq XEON and my new 3900x in comparison with the 8700K that I had between both...the latter obviusly a great CPU. I think that could be cool to test scenarios like I'm talking about, even if I know that I'm not a typical gamer user and that I'm lazy leaving everything open (programs, google tabs, etc) but I certainly have the feeling that everything goes smoother with many cores.
wow the 3600 relay looks well in the charts, CPU's look so compresed most the time
At 11:15 -11:17 Steve summons Siri on apple devices. Siri translates “Runs at 5.1 but some tests need to be redone” into “Siri run that song”
When you say a cpu ran at X voltage, do you mean under load? or just what is set in BIOS before v-droop?
I think everyone just wanted to hate it because its not on 7NM.
also cuz everyone knew it would be more expensive, power hungry and w/ hardware vulnerabilities..... but yeah, the 14nm++++ counts.
@@NoneRain_ Honestly, i'm a little concerned about the longevity of the 7NM processors. at that scale, its easy to imagine how delicate it may become over prolonged use. Human hair is 50,000-100,000 NM wide if that gives you context to how small 7NM is.
It's actually the opposite.
Smaller transistors are more power efficient, they do more producing less heat.
When you force the micro-components at higher temperatures, it become a problem in a long term usage. That's why they need be more power efficient, and therefore smaller, to be better without "paying the price" for "old" lithography process like the 14nm. Intel right now is using high quality materials so their product can reach better performance and endure TDP at 14nm+++. A workaround while they can't produce 10nm or 7nm.
Examples of 7nm microprocessors: Apple A12, A12X, A13, Huawei 980, and the Snapdragon 855.
Something to remember, is that "7nm" is the commercial name for a tech where some components are made with that lithography, it doesn't speak for all transistors geometry or its geometry at all.
The size of Human hair has nothing to do with lithography processes...
You should be concerned about using low energy efficiency products instead....
We all instantly thought it when we saw it: 9900K Super™
Very grateful for your honesty on which CPU manufacturer to go with as far as use case. I have certain reviewers I watch that have really disappointed me because all they want to do is push AMD R3. The problem with that is some ppl don't use premiere, blender or any of these production apps and they simply just want the best gaming chip for their use case. Imo, Intel = Gaming while Amd = Production w/ Gaming, take your pick as they are both good at what they can do.
So for gaming should I get the K or KS? Also will there be a drop when 10 comes out?
Feels like theyre scrambling at this point when it comes to the competition
What is scrabbling?

What's the overclock potential for the KS? Will we see any XOC with it?
@Gamers Nexus
what vcore reading does this chip give for an all core 5ghz clock? avx and non?
Underwhelming for sure, especially for people who actually do the overclocking themselves. But people are honestly a little too amd fanboys at the moment, hell even i've praised amd and currently own r5 3600 but they completely ignore how good the cpu is, especially in gaming. It is obviously not "new" product, so you cant expect revolutionary gains, that doesnt mean the 9900ks is bad.
Purely for gaming, i'd take that over any AMD CPU any day.
Its always about the price, there are no bad products, only bad prices (except bulldozer maybe). But there are however pointless products (for the consumer), which the 9900ks is.
@@chitahitsu4743 for overclockers, YES
For regular consumers with money NO
Both AMD and Intel, paired with a high end GPU, will produce higher fps than your monitor can even display...so what the hell is the point in paying more for Intel??
@@ZazzilasArden not every game is optimized enough for 240 fps, even on a 2080Ti, you know and compared to 9900K, 3700X runs games 11% slower, 3600 18% slower and the only Zen 2 based cpu that is the closest, is currently more expensive than EVEN 9900KS. Even cheaper I7-9700K is faster for gaming. Intel's hardware is simply better, for gaming that is.
@@budgetbajur If the games aren't optimized enough to run at 240fps then they aren't going to be running at 240fps no matter the hardware. The next step down is 144Hz which both AMD and Intel can EASILY achieve with a 2080 Ti. So once again, why pay more for Intel?
You want to pay more for 6-11 % higher fps that you aren't even going to be seeing?
oh no, there's on old xfx amd card in the background that takes up 0.1% of the total screen space. this is clearly shilling for amds parts to try to take away from intels impact on their launch video.

And only if you are still 1080p - haven't done that for 5 years, myself. At 4K - no real difference for games. 9900KS is a super chip for low-res.
...at 1080p.lmao
Steve, can you guys test these cpus on the latest high end aircoolers? Curoius how they all perform using the NH-D15 or Deep Cool Assassin III. THanks!
Uh... The NH-D15 has been out since 2014.
It would be interesting if you guys could ballpark a FPS where a given CPU becomes the limiting factor. I know it varies quite a bit, maybe too much so, but every CPU on the chart would likely look identical if paired with say a 1030. I have a 1920x at home for my research but it would be nice to know when a GPU upgrade for my on the side gaming is a non-trivial value loss.

This launch is clearly Intel just trying to get rid of their defective CPU's as having a single chip is significantly more expensive than what AMD has been doing which Intel called gluing a bunch of CPU's together BUT this method is better for higher overclocking potential as when you glue chips together each chip has to be a really good overclocking chip and each chip has to have as little to no defect at all for it to overclock really good and on top of that all the connections between each chip need to be good as well
Zahid Shabir You might have more credibility if you actually knew what you were talking about.
@@wysetech2000 I had a stroke trying to read this
You got it completely the other way around actually. Chiplets allow for easier frequency binning.
In a classic monolithic die CPU you gotta get the whole die to be top quality silicon if you want a good overclocker. With chiplets, you'll get let's say 10% of chiplets that'll do 4.5ghz on a wafer at X voltage, 20% will do 4.4, 30% will do 4.3 and the bottom of the barrel will do 4.2~4.1 (Im just making numbers up for an example), now you can take all the top end binned silicon and pack them together to get high end chips, while using the lower end for cheaper parts. You can of course also use the 6 core chiplets together for 12c parts, or 3x 4 core ones, etc etc.
Possibilities are huge with them.
go play blender
@@superior96 I misread Your blabber means nothing to me. Nobody mentions that AMD is binning chips for Epyc and all there other skews get the left overs.
9700K & 9900K/KS/KF : PURE Gaming and Adobe
AMD: Everything else
Wich CPU (9900 vs 3900) would you chose if you were ONLY doing Photo editing (Photoshop/Lightroom) and gaming, and you have a custom waterloop? Aswell looking ahead for something futureproof (at least 5 years)
