Core 9000 series

I didn't see the full video from der8eur but if correct Intel used copper plated IHS to connect the indium not gold plated IHS like AMD.

Gold and copper have different properties and the former is miles better to do this job.
Amd is using the intel method of soldering the core. I believe intel have the patent on it. It is mentioned in one of Der8auers other videos.

The gold layer is visible in the videos i've seen i think. It is also necessary iirc.

As said didn't saw the video but he said indium to copper hence it cracks.
AMD is using indium to gold, that's why it doesn't crack
 
Now the reason for intel using solder again is obvious, they probably tested their toothpaste tim and after the cpu hit 120c and spontaneously combusted they had the genius idea to go back to solder to get temps a shade under 100c.

But of course they frame that as doing a good turn for the enthusiasts, instead of admitting the cpu would be unworkable using the TIM they regularly goop onto their cpu's.

Never believed for a second that they were switching to STIM without it being 100% necessary for thermals.
Have said as much many times. We're getting it because they need to do it, no other reason.

If they could do things with paste and make it cheaper they would.

Would LOVE to see someone (Gamers Nexus perhaps? I will email). Try out a 9900k using the TIM from a 8700K. See just how hot it gets? You could lift the thermal throttling limit too to see just how crazy it gets.

I want to see how hard the cpu is to oc in their livestream. I'll probably miss it but it will be interesting to know how quickly thermals limit progress.

I'd love to see them use a stock intel cooler on it, they'd have a pile of molten metal dripping all over the motherboard in minutes. :D

Wow at the heat of this thing!

Now I'm tempted to keep my [email protected] running 1.325V on Air.

From reading the reviews, there is no chance of running a 9900k @5ghz on air without issues if you put some load into it :( That means buying a high end AIO on top of the chip cost differences.

You're talking an extra £150 or thereabouts for a decent 360 aio, to get temps hovering around 90c.
