14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh"

Interested in the gaming performance at 1440p, i doubt there's gonna be much in it though unless you run 1080p 500 fps where this will probably shine.

Just looking for an excuse to install something new and shiny lol.

I would be happy with either of those chips tbh :cry: Mine is SP 100 overall with P-core at 109 and E-Core at 83 & 72 MC so pretty much bang in the middle according to igor lab report on 13900k SP binning he done , it happily does 5.7Ghz / 4.6Ghz and 7600Mhz if needed..... 6.1Ghz all core is a no go though which is why i am interested in the new refresh and what it can do. Maybe they will do 8000Mhz easily with 9000Mhz being obtainable by good chips and the best stretch to 10k... also the higher speeds may only be achievable on the new Z790 boards ( they need an excuse to sell them after all ! :cry: ).

8800 is about the limit on both my current chips, you can get more but it means going down to a single stick and loosening it right off also it needs to run a bit colder.

You'll need a 1DPC board to get 8000+ really, I only know of one 2DPC board which will do 8000 or so and that's the EVGA one.

Difference between 6600Mhz and 8000Mhz etc is less than 1% in most games. Only really worth it if you enjoy memory benchmarking/records etc.

yeah i agree , blind test will not tell the difference between 6600mhz & 8000mhz BUT some games do scale with ram as can be seen in the vid HUB did testing different configurations with the 13900K, i was actually surprised at some of the results tbh .

Interesting , Hopefully compatible with current gen of MB although with my Hero being a 2DPC board probably taps out around 7800Mhz anyway :o Its annoying Asus choose to only do the APEX in that White/Silver theme , had they done a black version then would have 100% snapped one of them up ... i wonder if the new Apex will go back to black:cry:

It's why I use an EVGA Z790 Dark :p

That's at 1080P. At 4k, 6600Mhz and 8000Mhz are identical. I think it's been around 10 years since I gamed at 1080P - display technology has advanced since then. 1440P was great for years. I've had 4K, with games running ~ 100FPS on an LG OLED ever since the 3090 launch and would never go backwards!

1080p is great for benchmarks, competition and world records. Memory benchmarks are also very fun and competitive.

I did say from a blind test that end user would not be able to notice any perceivable increase in performance BUT some games are still CPU limited at 4K like FFXIV on a 13900K/4090 and in that case any increase in RAM performance will help as from what i can tell it reacts well to main and sub timings being tweaked as well as just turning off and on XMP showing gains ... again probably hard to notice for the end user when FPS is already so high but it will show a gain none the less if looking at FPS numbers / benchmark results .

I agree 1080p is a no go for me personally but i still play at 1440p / 240Hz on a 27" monitor at native res and looks superb still but my main screen is an LG 77CX OLED for 4K 120Hz , very much enjoy switching between the 2 and both have their own unique merits ... when we finally get a 77" 240Hz oled screen then will be game over for the monitor for me :cry:

I enjoy benchmarking in all resolutions , gives a more rounded picture of the system going from 1080p to 4K :D

Another leak from MILD this time about the 14700K , looks like its getting a core count bump ...

Another nothing burger that will not change in PC Gaming but bigger numbers are awesome.Then there is people who like playing 720p/1080p lowest settings with the best GPU's on the planet and memory clocked highest which does not do anything really in PC Gaming at normal setting and resolution even though people keep spitting there crap about memory speed is the magic :D.
I do need to say I will buy a 14700 anyway for fun and say thanks to Intel for not completely changing the socket so normal people can change the CPU a couple times over a few years.

Might make sense once you have a high E-core count and no HT should improve security and power consumption.

Been doing some research on hyperthreading as usual and it seems it isnt exactly what I thought it was! cane easily replace what it was doing with some extra e-cores.

if they do this, they will most definitely need to start increasing both the P and E cores though.
