Nice :) Hope we can preorder soon :)
 
Who was it that said ADL/Z690 would be riddled with bugs here? I've encountered zero bugs so far and have been editing, benchmarking etc. Explain your words immediately :D

Probably just self reflection from an amd owner. Even on it's 4th attempt with ryzen 5000 - the launch was problematic as heck. Constant need for bios and chipset updates, broken USB ports, lack of compatibility with vr headsets, system instability and crashes.

And on it's 1st attempt with ryzen 1000, oh boy - 10 times worse so understandably one who has only experienced AMD launches could be forgiven for thinking Intel would have huge issues with this new architecture

One of the most immediate things I am noticing coming from a 8700k is on some games I experienced tiny micro stuttering seems to have gone. Most notably on CP 2077 up to now.
Guardians of the galaxy looks amazing on it.
 
Re MSFS

I found this which shows that the alderlake parts are competitive with ryzen but not overtaking them in the ways we’ve seen with other games.

Though as the poster says, it’s still very early days yet so there may be some optimisation to come specifically for the 12 series.

btw over a sample size of 10+ we are only seeing 80+ sp for 900k with more than half in 90’s which is great. Making a v/f table db as well for comparisons later. Anything in the 90’s at 5.3 has a v/f point right around 1.3 or upto 20mv below. 80’s start 1.32 ish.

Thank you for these details @Robert896r1.
Do you have more info on the 12900k binning? Are the 80+ ones 'x' or 'v' batches or a mix of both?

Thanks!

If you want a 12900k with high SP only buy made in Vietnam ones, the made in China ones have significantly lower SP

Yup, I've seen the posts on oc.net and I assume this is what you are referring to?

They also mention that the SP on Chinese batches may be misreported. - you may get a low SP but an excellent clocker and vice versa. Plus there are posters with 'v' batches with 85+ SPs too.

Since the silicone itself is not fabricated in China but cpus are just binned, assembled and packaged there, I am wondering if the Chinese site is somehow misreporting VIDs on cpus etc. and incorrectly hard coding them into the chips which causes missed SP readings.

That's why I am interested in Robert's findings.

As for me personally - too late! :) Already got V-batch 12900k and aorus master on day 1. Looks like my ram will be here today, so I will start assembling the rig but will not know the SP anyway. Plus I've already opened the box and I feel returning a CPU just because of a batch number or lost silicone lottery is wrong. Both towards retailers and people who later get these 'rejects'.

Knowing my luck, I'd probably lose the lottery on either v or x. :D

@Majek we will have binning report of a sample size of 1000 chips by end of month. Will update then.

Also something that might interest people. There is no selection criteria from intel which becomes a retail chip and which is a “tray” chip. It’s totally random. Now if the shop is doing something shady like binning the tray CPU’s that’s a different story.
