> They basically released all the details but TDP. Very likely this sucker is a steaming hot mess. Very likely it's just going to have the same "lie" for the TDP that they do for all their desktop chips. You can configure it to run at TDP specs, but ~nobody~ does. They instead run at PL2 specs (sustained power delivery rating for turbo), which for the 9900K for example is 210W despite the 95W TDP. Meaning per Intel's own specs the 9900K can run at 210W forever, as long as it has sufficient cooling. The 9900KS isn't going to be a 5GHz base clock part. It's a 5GHz all-core turbo. The 9900K is, by comparison, 4.7GHz all-core turbo. So we're not talking much of a bump. If they leave the 9900KS at the same base frequency as the 9900K it'll have the same 95W TDP. Maybe they bump it by a 100mhz or something trivial and slap a 105W TDP rating on it. Doesn't really matter since it's a pretend number in made up fairy land anyway.
