My 5800x cost me £314, I'm priced out the 12700kf unfortunately

Alder Lake-S leaks

LOL stop it, no it does not .. It's a toss up between the 5800x and 12700kf ..
See that's why the 12700k is my fav out of this gen for intel. Power and heat on the more normal side and well 12900k is pointless now, now you know why they didn't send a 12700k to reviewers. Also the 5800x is doing really well too
.
my condolences

to quote Steve at HUB, in productivity "this is embarrassing for AMD"
It's easy , the 5800x is competing with a 12700k... 12600k is not worth it over a 5800x and good motherboard.
Watch till the end of the video... he clearly says it's a toss up and can't decide which to get .. one case the 5800x is better and on another the 12700kf... Watch it fully without snippets of drama ...
Coming from a guy that is going to decide between one of these for a HTPC... I said earlier in the thread these 2 chips are the ones for a highend gaming pc or HTPC, and 5950x for a workstation build top end build.
This chip (12700k and kf) for intel holds the crown as best chip this gen easy, 12900k is dead now. 12600k nice for cheap gaming build but once the 12400k comes out that will be the chip to get for cheap game build.
12900k and 12600k on rocky grounds out of the lineup.
The 5800x was the sensible purchase and a nice upgrade path is already here and coming with the 3d v-cache chips too. You ended up with a better motherboard too than the 12600k setup. Also you were priced out of a 12700k sadly as if you had more money that would have been the one to get for an ADL build, but again still a toss up between the 5800x and 12700k as you will see from that video.

The amount of time a company holds the top spot seems like an odd objection. -particularly before said time has even elapsed.
In a properly competitive market, I want all "victories" to be short-lived.
Cheers. OcUK don’t seem to list full specs.

How do you define, destroys @Grim5 ?
I worked out the difference in average FPS over 10 games at 1080P, and the difference is 1.5%. It's 2.7% at 1% lows. That's all.
HUB seems to think age of empires 4 is a good indication of the game performance for alder lake (10:54 time stamp). What do you guys think?
I had a look at their data - it seems like age of empires 4 is one of the very few recent new games that are not GPU bottlenecked at 1080p and even with the 6900xt alderlake pulls ahead nearly 30% over ryzen 5000 in this game

If you care about OC, this is the video.

With a RX 6900XT. Not so much with non RDNA cards which is interesting.
We don't list them because they can change without warning.
For gaming Alder lake is much of a muchness. Outside of gaming the design has some strengths and weaknesses.
Ohh stop it.. The game is an outlier.. I can pull outliers out for every cpu,platform,game,application too for any system and make it look good or bad too. The average system is what counts and nothing in it.
Also @beasty6 is buying it as a gaming pc. It's 1.3% on average fps different and max 3% on the 1% lows fps.
Basically nothing in it, your RAM or motherboard can make up that difference depending which you buy.
It would be useful to know the configuration. Would it be possible to make an order for say 8 sets of 2R and 8 sets of 1R?
Thanks for the heads up.
If people start saying 1.5% increase is "destroying" then expect cpus from now on to be 1-3% faster so they can claim it destroys the previous gen .. Like how we ended up with GPUs because people were happy with 20-30% gen over gen at best now, from when we use to get 100% and more increase from gen to gen.
This mentality will end bad for us consumers. Intel did good but they have done nothing more than catch up to AMD. Reality not made up facts to create drama.
Geeze really.

Agree. For me destroy would probably be something like 40-50% faster, that would be a big lead. But a few percent?
Slightly faster seems more apt, which it is.
1-2% every 18-24 month is the Intel MO.
Raptor lake 1-2% uplift = Alder lake destroyed.

So glad I didn't jump on the crusty old 5800x with its archaic non hybrid architecture. 12700K properly dunks on it.
