KS is clocked higher than K and K is clocked higher than non K variant. People like to say there's no reason to get a K if you don't overclock but the extra clock speed and resale value is worth the extra $20-$30 that's normally between them.

[@telephoto]

the performance between K and non K is quite close so i don’t think a slightly higher clock speed is enough to justify spending ~50$ more on a cpu.

[@archiebellega956]

​@@telephotoIt's not just higher clock, but also unlocked multiplier. Simply said, non-K CPU can't be overclocked (I guess unless you mcgyver the BIOS or something). If OC is your thing (and on CPU heavy task they do show its impact) then get the K. In comparison, every Ryzen CPU can be OC'd, so this show the K designation is really stupid and really Intel's way to nickel and diming its customer (oh you want to OC your CPU, shell more $$ pls)

Terrible recommendation, and finally the 4090 is NOT always better. Better is subjective. It’s the current fastest gpu but you need a Pc and power supply able to use it, and also someone that doesn’t know what pairs well with their system probably is at risk of improper installation with the 4090 which leads to melting. Even veteran builders have been dealing with that issue.

H/HQ(HQ was given to certain laptops during skylake-era) is a mobile chip with a higher amount of power given to it, so it can get pretty close to desktop performance. So an i5-12400H will be... A bit under its desktop equivalent, but will be far better than it's U variant.

For those who wanna know what the “Special edition means” it’s essentially the same as the K but even higher clock speed then the regular K could achieve via 3Rd party overclocking, as All KS chips are PRE Overclocked from the factory For examples the 13900k goes to 5.8Ghz but the 13900KS goes to 6.0Ghz

Some say KF is better for CPU overclocking because the iGPU is disabled and one thing less to worry about.
