News Core i9-12900KS Slides Past Core i9-12900K With 11% Higher Multi-Core Performance

I doubt that the 2% higher FPS (assuming playing at 1080P on the best GPUs) will assist greatly in this CPU earning a summary 'darn well worth it' for value proposition given it's 26% price premium...

(They will sell everyone they make, however, despite most folks then pairing them with RTX3060 or below GPUs and ending up with sub-1 FPS frame rate gains anyway...)
 
You really should report what cooler and power draw they're using for these. Because Intel doesn't hit these performance numbers (around a 30% drop) if it can't dissipate it's astronomical heat production. I'd like to see an Intel/AMD benchmark comparison where you limit each CPU to +200W from the wall.
