Goodness. Soo get this: good 13900K CPUs get up binned to 13900KS CPUs, the best of which have recently turned into 14900K CPUs, making the latest flagship an up-bin of an up-bin. And all you're paying for with each up-bin is 100-200MHz at similar voltages, no guarantee of IMC which is still all over the place and for all you know, an i5 may run DDR5 better than your up-binned up-bin. And now you're telling me there's even more up-binning to the 14900KS?? Making this, what? An up-bin, of an up-bin, of an up-bin, of an up-bin?? Amazing!!

Yes Gelsinger personally went to the process lab and licked these 14900ks before telling them to pack it up.

It's got the best up-bin.

You're not wrong, but there is a significant price consideration. The 14900K is binned about the same as the 13900KS (6 GHz VID < 1.5v), but costs at least $100 less. Some people claim the IMC is better on the 13900KS, but don't think that can be answered at the moment.

And then now they’ll claim “and we kept the same socket for the 13th and 14th gen” when it’s really the same generation.
