Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake thread

Yep, can imagine the cries of derision from the Intel fanboys if Ryzen 3000 had just given us more cores and nothing else.................................same old same old from Intel, nothing changes. I bet the only change will be the price going up.

If the price goes up, that reported sales share of miserable 14% during the month of December at a big retailer will go down, and will look like a dreamt one.

Interested to know what "smooth power delivery" means - MOBO are saying they are ready, but Intel can't manage the power delivery so Comet Lake has been delayed already - suppose to be released already but will be delayed till April.

You get better overclocking results with a "Smooth power delivery" clocked to the brink depends on the quality of your VRMs, if they can deliver current with very flat ripple you would get an extra 100 or 200Mhz vs a ripple that is less stable.

In other words Intel have got to the point where they are pushing their clocks so high they now rely on Motherboard vendors to provide high end VRMs just to be stable out of the box.

Intel are VERY deep into "pre overclocked" territory
 
Intel have gone way too far with their 14nm chipss it's crazy. So they are asking mobo partners to put in the very best VRMs just so their top end CPU in this lineup can run at stock!

With apoarently obscene power draw and heat output I hope the tech press dont let them off the hook like they did with the 9900K/S.

Tech reviewers totally ripped the crap out of AMD with their 220 Watt FX 9590, some of Intel HEDT chips are pulling over 400 Watts out of the box vs 160 Watt for AMD's parts that are faster and none of them really say much about it. other than perhaps "but 7% higher FPS"

So no, i expect them to say little about it, if anything.
 
Folk regularly dismiss AMDs video cards for using... what... @40 or so more watts than Nvidias

Now we have intels 8 corse using what ...150w+ for similar or less performance and it seem to be no big deal. Heck AMD put more than 6 times the cores on a chip and use similar or less power than intels latest desktop stuff - and many still will recomend them.

Yep, it's shocking. They do praise AMD (TR3) but didnt hammer Intel's latest HEDT (I'm looking at GamersNexus, for example).

They do need to call Intel out on their mainstream parts, but maybe part of the issue is that HEDT is getting so much attention where a 280W TDP is accepted so the goalposts have moved so much.
Plus there's the whole farce of what TDP means these days.
Also, there is the irony of this being called out on an overclocking forum where many don't think twice of pushing voltages and watts to silly levels.

amd: 64 cores at 280w
Intel 10 cores at 300w

I don't think the AMD gpu wattage complaint is about overall wattage people complain about the performance/watt metroc which is often been very low for AMd compared to Nvidia

I don't really care as long as everything fits inside my 750w psu and my fans don't need to spin loudly to control temps I'm happy

Something is up with GN in that, they made two videos dedicated to "AMD's untrustworthy TDP numbers" because a 105 Watt TDP part actually pulls 130 watts, as if that was not enough every other video about CPU's Steve uses it to disparagingly digress on to "AMD's fake TDP numbers"

All this despite for example the 95 Watt 9900K actually pulling 170 Watts, which seemingly he has no problem with.

I don't know what it is about Steve from GN, he acknowledges AMD's good CPU's, even recommends them, but it seems almost begrudgingly, he seems to hate AMD bouncing Intel off the walls and can't wait for things to "go back to the way they should be"
 
More like when NVidia were literally twice as power efficient as AMD so the difference could be well over 100W.

I have never really seen a reference AMD card be 100w+ over its equiv Nvidia card.. well not without overclocking or something.
50w yeah but over 100... maybe from an AIB squeezing every last Mhz out of vega or something.
 
amd: 64 cores at 280w
Intel 10 cores at 300w.
That's not a great comparison as that's comparing a higher clocked desktop chip versus a lower clocked workstation chip, so it's not a fair fight.
No that Intel's workstation chips are going to look good versus TR, but not as bad as that.
