Sounds better than AMD's "Peak boost on one core under bursty lightly threaded workload" BS they use to justify their misleading boost speeds.

Talk about a chip that is equivalent to using a lifted dually truck with massive tires that gets 4 gallons per mile just to get your morning Starbucks. 410 watts is simply ridiculous. About the only thing that will cool that properly is phase change cooling.

Last time I see 1.5V on a cpu year 2000. Now we Have again... Maybe need a DIY Microwave Transformer to put Power on that cpu!

I imagine this chip will have no problem holding those clocks with a $30 air cooler - when it isn't doing an intensive all core load like cinebench. That's when it will get thirsty.

I’m sure you’ll have no problem running this cpu without any cooler at all when all but 1 core is disabled and the clock is limited to 4.17 MHz. But then, why are you buying an overpriced piece of sand and purposefully throwing away the performance you are paying dearly for.

Now we just need Intel to come out with a KS Ultra version that pushes 6.25 GHz at 2.3V lol

The AG 400 is below $30 and can cool for 246W which means that you will get full performance out of an 13-14900k ,for the KS part we will have to wait and see, but if previous ks cpus are any indication then it will also run full speed at ~250W
