Intel releases desktop chip that can hit 6GHz if everything goes right, you can keep it cool, stars align, pigs fly
Speaking of which, this is especially true when it comes to the 13900KS's 6GHz turbo frequency. Customers who shell out for the KS will discover that despite Intel's claims, it rarely hits those clock speeds, except under ideal circumstances. This is because that magical 6GHz frequency is only possible during a phase called Thermal Velocity Boost .
In Intel's demo, the company showed the chip hitting 6GHz on two cores using a Corsair all-in-one water cooler. However, that test was running the 7zip benchmark, which isn't particularly taxing, especially when limited to just two cores. Intel also didn't show the kinds of temperatures the chip was hitting in those tests.
