Alleged roadmap reveals Intel Core i9-13900KS with higher clock speeds and tdp

The as yet unannounced Intel Core i9-13900KS achieves a Thermal Velocity boost clock of 6GHz, according to an online roadmap. The current flagship i9-13900K has a maximum boost clock speed of 5.8GHz in this performance mode.

The ‘regular’ boost clock speed also goes according to the roadmap, published by 9550pro, slightly up; from 5.7GHz in Turbo Boost Max 3.0 with the regular 13900K to 5.8GHz with the supposed KS variant. These increased speeds apparently have no effect on the maximum tdp, as that remains at 253W.

The base clock frequency of the P-cores would also be slightly increased for the upcoming model, namely 3.2 instead of 3GHz. This ensures an increased base power consumption compared to the current flagship, from 125 to 150 watts.

All other specifications remain the same according to the alleged roadmap. The ratio of the 24 cores remains the same, which is 8 performance cores and 16 E-cores. There would also be 32 threads in the processor again.

Benchleaks published additionally possible Geekbench Benchmark Results of the i9-13900KS. The comparison between the K and KS variants of Intel’s flagship device shows that the upcoming processor scores about 3 and 8 percent higher, respectively, in terms of single and multicore performance.
