Raptor lake will be a drop in upgrade that will probably launch before or at a similar time to the Zen 3 refresh. Though Zen3 still stuck on DDR4 and PCI-Ev4....
Is any of this confirmed?
Also "stuck" on pcie4 lol

Pricing of the top end DDR5 mobo on OCUK is ....wait for it.... £1659 for a motherboard!

Ok it's the waterblocked version but still... pushing 1700 quid.....for a mobo!
The Zen 3 refresh is expected in Q1 2022. If you think Raptor Lake is coming that quickly, I'd like some of the amazing drugs you're on. Raptor Lake and Zen 4 will release towards the end of 2022.Raptor lake will be a drop in upgrade that will probably launch before or at a similar time to the Zen 3 refresh.

A whole 1.4% better than my 5900X at 4K. That is actually it bad, I was expecting 1%Here is the specific 12700K review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i7-12700k-alder-lake-12th-gen/
Nice.
Do wish Intel sent the 12700KF out.
That thing i a lot of CPU for the money (relatively speaking)
It’s reaching 92 degrees in TPU testing. I don’t think any air cooler would work with it.
Did you not see the Godlike Motherboard for Ryzen?
Always over priced motherboards and they are never a good choice unless you have money burn in which case why not!

For something that has efficiency cores, how is this so power hungry?

It's worth understanding what this new architecture is. The high power usage is in specific tasks like rendering which is done on the Performance cores at full pelt. The efficiency cores are very powerful still but are much more efficient and used for everything else. The P cores in gaming do not consume any more power than anything from AMD.
Check out all the reviews now and you'll see this pattern.
I hinted at this days ago didn't I! There's a reason why they only sent 12600 and 12900 kits to reviewers, and now we know why
Yep. I will be GPU bottlenecked for many years so I may not even bother with 3D cache version of the 5900X in the end. But never say never and all that.lol GPU bottleneck ftw

Wheres the board reviews?
It’s literally just 1% slower than the 12900k which makes the latter look bad when you see pricing.I've missed something, why is it?
Thanks!
I do find it very weird that they even bothered with efficiency cores in a desktop though. Id understand in a laptop, but in a desktop for personal use makes very little sense
Sadly not upgrading any time soon but from my 6700k that 12700kf would look very tempting.
Be that or watch out for 5800x deals - they often hit £340 even before these came out.
But new tech!!! lol
