Intel's Core i9-9900KS Special Edition launches this week for $513

Intel’s 5GHz Core i9-9900KS Special Edition will set you back a cool $513 when it goes on sale in two days, the company said Monday.

The 8-core Core i9-9900KS Special Edition is being pitched as the “world’s best for gaming,” and somewhat similar to the special edition status of the company’s Core i7-8086K. 

The 14nm-based Core i9-9900KS features a base clock of 4GHz, which is about 400MHz higher than the current Core i9-9900K’s 3.6GHz. But what makes the Core i9-9900KS so special is its all-core Turbo Boost clocks of 5GHz. While the Core i9-9900K could technically push a single core at 5GHz, with maybe a couple of others occasionally coming along too, the Core i9-9900KS Special Edition is rated to Turbo all eight cores up to 5GHz.
