Intel and AMD are in a big competition, but the competition’s key is the price and gaming performance balance. There are already many flagship CPUs on the market, but if you need the best, here’s Intel i9-13900KS. The company released the CPU with the highest frequency and core performance on the market. i9-13900KS offers an incredible performance for gaming, but it’s a limited release. It reaches an incredible power consumption level, making it illogical for some people. But if you’re planning to build a flagship performance setup, Intel’s new option offers a performance that can’t be quickly beloved.
Intel Releases The Fastest Gaming CPU, i9-13900KS
As PCGamesN explained the details, the processor comes with 24-cores and 32-threads. This new Raptor Lake CPU is the first desktop CPU that pulls off 6GHz speeds without overclocking. Its power consumption changes between 150W – 253W TDPs. That is nearly high as an entry-level computer’s total power consumption. Considering the other components should be powerful enough to meet the CPU’s performance, the total power consumption will be insane.
Intel Core i9-13900KS is priced at 699 dollars, which is 110 dollars cheaper than its little brother. The i9-12900KS was priced at 739 dollars with a lower performance; that makes the new generation a bit easier to afford. Meanwhile, the processor will also make its way to the OEM systems. You could be more relaxed if your plan isn’t building a setup yourself. But the setup builders must hurry to get it before the stocks run out.
Intel’s Raptor Lake series has a killer performance, high price, and high power consumption. You will also need powerful components like RTX 3090 and high-frequency RAMs to avoid the bottleneck. The latest updates in the hardware industry are fabulous. With the graphical evolutions and resolution bumps, gamers will always need more with time.
While these are happening, which CPU do you use for gaming?
