A 127W TDP for the Intel Core i9-9900KS?

Next month we'll see the arrival of the Intel Core i9-9900KS chip and it looks like this model will have a TDP of 127W. The new part is a faster version of the 9900K, it's an eight-core, sixteen-threaded chip with a 4.0GHz base clock and 5.0GHz Boost on all cores. If the 127W TDP is accurate, it will be the highest value ever for a "mainstream" desktop processor from Intel.

Although these newfound specs didn't come directly from Intel's mouth, Asus is more than a reliable source. Unless it was a typing error (or Asus is just plain incorrect), the Core i9-9900KS should arrive with a 127W TDP, which is 33.68% higher than its counterpart. Russian retailer DNS Shop seems to confirm the informatio, as it also listed the Core i9-9900KS with the same value. We'll just have to wait for Intel to confirm.

The pricing is unknown but will likely be over $500.
