I'd actually say the 12 and 16 cores are the real winners, the 6 and 8 core are ok but pricey and lose to intels cheaper 12th gen parts and the 5800X3D in some scenarios.

Fun finding is that pretty much all the reviews you saw today were done on configurations that would put you out of warranty. Configurations sent via the review guides and kits by the vendor itself. New trend incoming.
I the info bubble, that's just warring you about the warranty IF you overclock, i mean reviewers do overclocks too but that also voids Intel's warranty.

I would say me but purely cause I want to select my next motherboard based on its features:
3+ built in m.2 slots
10gb network (yes I do ned it and I already have a 10gb switch)
3 PCI-e Slots (GFX/Sound Card/M2 addon or 10gb if not available onboard)
Stability and overclocking headroom as I will be watercooling
I've always had good experience with Asus and the ROG Hero boards which are now the x679 equivalent so I'll be staying on that level.
MSI MEG Ace currently has my eye but I saw it might be a £900 board so that would be a big no no.

Since I run a gaming PC, definitely waiting for the 3D Cache parts to hit over these vanilla chips.

125watt isn't stock, not in that chart. expect they using PL241 to get "stock" which is why it has a setting.
If you take the PL125watt for Intel and 125watt for AMD and try again yeah?
36130/125 = 289p/watt
23976/125 = 191p/watt
Now what? Also the stock is 170watt.
38291/170 = 225p/watt

I thought you were well versed in this? Even Intel who make K chips for over clocking specifically said this, and they even went on to sell a warranty for it at one point.

Pay attention to the part where the Expo was part of the review guidance and kits. Now tell me which reviewers told you running this configuration voids warranty.

And none of them have mentioned it with any other CPU review. So tell us all, what is new?

Pretty sure that isn't anything new and how would they know it was overclocked ?
Undervolting seems to be the way to go anyway

Interesting, Zen 4 feels smoother and snappier in windows than Intel...

Forget EVERTHING you THINK you know about AMD... these CPUs kick A$$!!
AMDs new CPUs just pulled off the impossible... I can't wait to see how Intel responds.Learn more about Cable Mods new Custom Keyboard Cables at https://www....

I guess its a bit like me thinking a 75Hz screen was fine, whats the problem? It feels great, how can it be better than this?
Until i upgraded to a 165Hz screen.... oooooh..... right now i get it!

Also, i don't think Jay likes Jenson much, watch it right till the end... its fun.
Do Intel usually ship their own souped up ram kits to reviewers then specify these have to be used on the CPU reviews though?

What do you think?
I'm pretty sure for ADL reviewers used a various mixture of different kits at different speeds so I'd say no.
yes, usually in a box, nicely wrapped in dollar bills

I think Intel have review guides and ancillaries, even if its more than one of, they send to reviewers to show them in the best light.
And why not? What would be wrong with that?
