9900K bining stats

Borrowed this from another forum, it makes for an interesting read. These are siliconeLottery's findings.

As of 11/17/18, 100% of tested 9900Ks were able to hit 4.8GHz or greater.
CPU Multiplier: 48
BCLK: 100.0
CPU Vcore: 1.275V
AVX Offset: 2

As of 11/17/18, the top 82% of tested 9900Ks were able to hit 4.9GHz or greater.
CPU Multiplier: 49
BCLK: 100.0
CPU Vcore: 1.287V
AVX Offset: 2

As of 11/17/18, the top 46% of tested 9900Ks were able to hit 5.0GHz or greater.
CPU Multiplier: 50
BCLK: 100.0
CPU Vcore: 1.300V
AVX Offset: 2

As of 11/17/18, the top 14% of tested 9900Ks were able to hit 5.1GHz or greater.
CPU Multiplier: 51
BCLK: 100.0
CPU Vcore: 1.312V
AVX Offset: 2

There are no 5.2GHz chips being offered and the settings and frequencies above are with non delidded CPUs.

With regards to delidding they say that "Peak core temperatures under a heavy overclocked load typically decrease anywhere from 4°C to 8°C for Intel 9th generation CPUs."

Takeaways from this, 1 in 5 9900ks tops out at around 4.8GHz.

More than 50% of 9900ks wont reach 5GHz(!)

When you think about platforms retrospectively (namely HEDT), 8 cores at 5GHz is very impressive.

It is indeed, I also think the thermals are pretty good too, I can't see what all the fuss was about when these were released.

People are always looking for unicorns mate. Simple as that.

Every new CPU should clock to 6GHz on air cooler with only 1.14 volts and be rock solid with memory running at 4600Mhz.

The reality is that this refresh in CPU is pretty darn impressive but expensive at the same time. Maybe one day the unicorns will be reality, but I guess by that stage the boundaries of expectation will have shifted again.
