Everything on that z690 platform seems to be expensive…
not sure the additional cost justify whatever performance gain over 11th gen or 10th gen tbh.
The full fat core isn’t higher in numbers. The low fat cores meant to be more efficient and used for certain productivity tasks.What do people think about the higher core / thread count over the 11900k though?
I love the aesthetics of the white Asus Z690 Formula, but where are all the USB 3.0 front panel headers on the Asus boards?
I love the white. If I was buying Z690 it would be the board I'd get. Except it doesn't have any USB 3.0 headers?more importantly, why is it not black!?

As far as gaming is concerned, the full fat faster cores are being leveraged and they are pretty much the same architecture as 11th gen just on a node shrink.
Is 12900k going to much better than 11900k at multithread processing though, or no? I need to read up more on the big and little cores thing I think.
From everything that has leaked so far overclocking headroom in these chips are limited as they are pushed pretty far. To get 5.2GHz for instance on the fast cores will increase the chip to have 330w. That’s pretty insane.
Power consumption is very similar, what they have managed to do is increase multithreaded performance by a lot while using the same power or if you set multithreaded performance to the same level as a 11900k then the 12900k will do this while using 65w.Hm, interesting. How does that power consumption compare to 11900k on overclock?
