[SOLVED] Is Intel now shipping i9-9900K with the newer R0 stepping?

[bit_user]

The i9-9900KS shipped with R0 stepping (stepping 13) dies. Since those have gone out of production, I wonder if Intel now switched over the regular i9-9900K to that stepping. Does anyone know?

For more info on the R0 stepping, see: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-core-i9-9900ks-special-edition-review/2

I've heard nothing about it (the new stepping...)

In any event, how much is actually gained (performance-wise) when going from 4.9 GHz - 5.0 GHz all core to 5.1 GHz or so?

Eh, well, I was kinda more interested in the in-silicon mitigations.

Anyway, it seems that the Xeon E-2288G is basically a R0-stepping i9-9900K, with a couple extra features enabled. Price is in the same ballpark.

Yes, my Intel Core i9 9900K that I bought back in August 2019 is on the latest stepping R0
