Most 9900K can hit 5.0 all core OC for non-AVX loads.
With AVX 4.8-4.9 is still doable without hitting the top 30% of CPUs in the CPU lottery.
My 9900K does 5.1 without any AVX offset but this is a top 10-20% CPU if the figures form Silicon Lottery are to be believed.
So it’s not that surprising Intel can simply bin CPUs to do 5.0 at near stock voltages since many resellers have been doing just that.
- sixothree 7y agoWhat does that spell for regular 9900K then?
- dogma1138 7y agoNothing if you don’t care about AVX workloads you can get a 9900K and set it to 5.0ghz with an AVX offset of 2 pretty much out of the box. Unless the KS would guarantee a 5.3-5.4 all core OC I don’t see it being anything more than a PR release anyhow. That said I’m not even sure if the 9900KS doesn’t come with an AVX offset to begin with most higher end motherboards come with a 9900K 5.0 preset anyhow which sets the voltage to about 1.3-1.325 and an AVX offset of 3 it just yells at you that you need a good cooling solution and this is not guaranteed to work.
