Intel has just dropped two major news bombs ahead of their official Computex 2019 keynote tomorrow. The news includes the preview of their upcoming Core i9-9900KS processor and the graphics performance benchmarks for their Gen 11 GPU which will be featured on 10nm Ice Lake processors.
Intel Pre-Announces Core i9-9900KS Special Edition Processor With 5 GHz Boost Across All 8 Cores
The Intel Core i9-9900KS is the latest entry to the 9th Generation desktop lineup. It's a lot similar to the Core i9-9900K but being a special edition variant, it offers 5 GHz turbo frequencies across all 8 cores rather than 1 core on the Core i9-9900K. The CPU still has the same 8 cores, 16 threads along with 16 MB of L3 cache, a GT2 graphics chip and the same soldered IHS that we saw on the 9900K. The faster clock speeds would definitely result in slightly higher power consumption numbers so even if Intel has them tagged as 95W (base frequency), the actual TDP numbers would be way high.
It seems like it is becoming a yearly event by Intel for special edition launches. Last year, Intel made an announcement for their Core i7-8086K Anniversary Edition which was a special variant of the i7-8700K with higher clock speeds. The Core i7-8086K also featured 5 GHz turbo but on a single core out of the six, it had on the die. The processor was priced at $425 US at launch which was a slight bump over the Core i7-8700K. Intel hasn't detailed the price for the Core i9-9900KS nor its launch date but we should get more information tomorrow. Intel may announce the opening for early pre-orders tomorrow, soon after the official announcement.
New special edition desktop gaming processor:Intel previewed the 9th Gen Intel Core i9-9900KS special edition processor, the first to feature all 8 cores running at a turbo frequency of 5.0 GHz, making the world’sbest gaming desktop processoreven better.
Intel also showcased how the company is optimizing ultimate real-world performance on the most popular games running on Intel processors with both hardware and software innovations. Through the years, Intel has optimized hundreds of games by working with hundreds of thousands game developers.

It will be interesting to see the price point and more importantly, the power figures as the Core i9-9900K itself is a power hungry beast and it gets really hot too so a version of that which always stays at 5 GHz under turbo frequency should require some beefy liquid cooling setups with air-cooling being a no go for such enthusiast PCs.
