How high is the quality of the Core i9-13900KS silicon die? By German media igor’sLab,199 Core i9-13900KS quality (SP value)was measured.
Maximus and Strix models of ASUS motherboards have a feature called Silicon Prediction (SP) that checks the quality of the CPU’s silicon die (SP value). The higher this number, the lower the voltage and the higher the overclocking (OC) tolerance can be expected.igor’sLabused this feature to examine the quality of the Core i9-13900KS.
First, here are the measured SP values for 131 Core i9-13900K and 164 Core i9-13900KF.
Core i9-13900K – Avg 99.6 SP
Core i9-13900KF Avg 101.1 SP
The SP value of Core i9-13900K is the lowest value of 81SP, the highest value of 114SP, and the average value of 99.6SP. On the other hand, the Core i9-13900KF has a slightly higher average value, with a minimum value of 91SP, a maximum value of 111SP, and an average value of 101.1SP.
So what is the SP value of the Core i9-13900KS, which is considered a special edition? Here are the results.
Core i9-13900KS Avg 108.1 SP
The SP value of Core i9-13900KS is the lowest value of 101SP, the highest value of 116SP, and the average value of 108.1SP.There is no lowest value of 90 units, and the average value is regarding 8% higher than Core i9-13900K and Core i9-13900KS.
The Core i9-13900KS has a higher operating clock than the Core i9-13900K/KF and features a maximum turbo 6.0GHz drive. It appears that good screened silicon dies are used to achieve this high clock.
