- paulmd 4y agothat's what it is. KS suffix is golden-sample/top-binned silicon running at higher-than-normal clocks. To be fair these chips will also be amazingly efficient at more modest clocks, because they're top-binned, but by default they're just pushing for max clocks above all else. For some fun compare the 9900K to the 9900KS on SiliconLottery's historical statistics page... 95% of 9900KS will do 5 GHz all-core at 1.25v, vs only 30% of 9900K CPUs making 5 GHz at 1.3v, for example. Or top 5% of 9900K chips will do 5.1 GHz at 1.312v vs top 28% of 9900KS doing 5.1 GHz at 1.287v. Way way better silicon. https://siliconlottery.com/pages/statistics https://siliconlottery.com/pages/statistics
