Intel has announced that its brand new Core i9-9900KS flagship will be launching on October 30 for the recommended price of just $513. Featuring a 5 GHz all-core turbo across 8 cores/16 threads this will almost certainly be the fastest gaming chip around and should sell like hotcakes. Intel has previously reported a record quarter and their demand seems to be far outstripping supply right now as 14nm reaches levels of maturity never seen before.

The Intel 9900KS costs exactly $25 bucks more than the Intel 9900KF which retails for $488. The original Intel 9900K can be had on Amazon for as low as $475. All in all, this is a price differential of $38 for 300 MHz for the all-core turbo (the 9900K features an all-core turbo boost of 4.7GHz). Honestly, $38 for 300 MHz more isn't a bad deal if you want to squeeze every last bit of performance out of your 8-core and get the 5GHz badge of honor.
