WUT? I wanted to buy the 10700k but then I saw the 3700x at £270 on Overclockers and that was it. Compared to £350 10700k which one was cheaper?

The 3700x is a good CPU especially if you need to do some all core workloads but if just for gaming then the £220 10600kf would be a better option and even the £135 10400F in a z490 board will match it

Aye, is a bit of a slanted comparison, should be comparing the 10900kf to a 5900x

Why when the 10850k is the same CPU minus 100mhz boost clock and can be had in the uk currently for £400

I don't have any mates here that I know of. Use a typical search engine for your answer. I'm not saying many people like yourself didn't have issues.

I used typical search engines and found issues with Intel motherboards as well. You’ll have to go with something other than AMD or Intel.

I read that 11th gen will launch end March. Based on previous launches when do we expect that the i9-11900K will actually be available to buy?

April, usually Intel don't do paper launches, usually they are available a couple weeks if that after launch.

The demand should also be pretty low as people either already went Zen3 or will wait for Alder Lake.

Touch wood I'll take my chances with Intel over amd.

AMD has always been generally more unreliable. Sorry to hurt your feelings so much as to cause you to respond with low brow sarcasm. I don't expect anything better though with the flack I've had for not wanting to buy an amd card lol.

You came asking for advice and you got to "touch wood, I'll go Intel". With that level of decision making I'm not sure a higher brow answer would achieve much.

Intel is no holy grail of reliability. Did you miss the endless security vulnerabilities and follow up, performance degrading, patches? That's without significantly changing their architecture for years.

AMD did have teething issues with Zen 1, which isn't all that unexpected with a radical redesign of how a CPU is built from the ground up. There's been little issues since.

I asked who's buying the cpu. I'd say touch wood what ever the conversation was to do with a decision like this. It's the superstition in me. I've never had an issue with Intel. You seem angry that I would not buy an amd cpu more than anything.

Probably best to not look at posts from 2005, and instead gather a better understanding of the current architectures.

I think given your level of knowledge of the products from both sides, I can see the need for the touch wood comment. This is a big deal for you, a one shot every 3, 4 or 5 years, or maybe more so jumping onto a product before it has been launched and independently tested seems daft at best, and at worst trolling.

I have read enough posts about amd graphics cards.

I'm not angry, this is a place where we (usually) try to help one another.

Intel dont make awful CPUs, I've had many Intel CPUs over the years. Currently though their current and future offerings looks pretty weak.

Don't know why you'd consider Intel in today's age unless you're able to get it cheaper.

While I think the 5600X is a little overpriced, you pretty much can't get a better gaming CPU.

Performance? No. 11th gen will out perform it.

There is a lot of irony in that comment if that's what you think. I already explained that comment but what ever makes you sleep better

All I asked was who is buying it lol.

This is the type of reply I'd expect from a lean to the latter of what I wrote.

As people have said 'we' try and help people, not sure how waiting for reviews before waiting for a decision isn't a good idea... But like I said trolling.

We can't know that for sure.
I'm all down with waiting and seeing how Rocket Lake turns out, but Intel don't exactly inspire confidence when the last marketing technique was sticking CPU's in Avengers packaging without the Avengers game.

Going by current leaks it will. Maybe they will give away a free game lol.

I was like you guys. I nearly jumped on the Ryzen band wagon, luckily I didn't get one as so far 11th gen loks very promising for gaming. I mean let's be honest who needs 12/24 cores and threads for gaming? like I've said before a lot of games I play benefit from single core speed and some aren't even programmed to utilize all cores.
