Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake thread

So word is that z490 is not selling well at all (not surprised). Expect some price cuts.

Z490 and PCI-4.0 will need popcorn budget also.

DIY Intel CPU's are not selling well at all.... Amazon Best sellers 9 out of 12 are consistently Ryzen with the best-selling Intel never getting past #6, its not often they get even that high.

Since Zen 2 its been a complete turn around, a literal flip, Intel are where AMD was before Ryzen, about 80% of DIY CPU sales are Ryzen.

The use cases for buying CML are pretty low and platform cost is higher so it's not a shock at all that z490 inventory is stacking up.

RKL with Z590 won't make z490 exactly desirable either.

Intel is making cuts to cpu and mobo prices because its failed to make any dent in AMDs total dominance of the market

And it's getting worse - once again mobo makers are ****** at Intel because z590 and Rocket Lake-S are not going to launch in time for next gen PCIE4 GPUs from Nvidia and AMD

CML?

Intel's CPU's are good, they are still the best gaming CPU's, Intel's problem is they are just not willing to price match AMD, if they did that AMD would have a serious problem, no one pays £100 more for 10% higher frame rates at 1080P with a 2080TI, keeping the Ryzen CPU's cooler is much more cost effective as they are far more power efficient, the platform cost is less expensive and Intel are boring, yes that's a thing with some people, there is a lot of buzz around AMD these days while Intel seem like a stuffy old man complaining about the modern world.

Ryzen 4000 Laptops are also selling like they are made of solid gold, even AMD themselves massively underestimated how much demand there would be for Ryzen 4000 Laptop's, turns out its not a capacity issue, AMD actually have the capacity and have just ramped up production to supply demand, they just didn't think they would sell anything like as many as they did.

If Zen 3 takes the gaming crown from Intel they have had it in the DIY space.
 
Trying to upgrade from a 4770K is a nightmare right now, but need a new rig of Flight Simulator-ing. Want to stay Intel, but have nagging doubts.

Nothing wrong with Intel, they just cost too much for what you get and then there's Zen 3 around the corner.

Not worry yourself about it until then, you will know more then and you may want to stay with Intel, when Zen 3 is out you should have the info you need to make a decision.

The only thing i will say is if you have some sort of connection to Intel let go of it, i went from a 4690K to a Ryzen 1600 to the 3600 i have now and have absolutely no affinity for Intel what so ever, i'm more than happy with this little beast.
 
You guys may wanna start saving for rocket lake next year. Word is Both Nvidia and AMD new graphics cards at the top of the range saturate gen 3 x16 pcie slots so 10th gen or earlier Intel systems will see reduced performance until 11th gen arrives next year.

God, it's always next year. I need parts just now but I don't want to buy parts just for the sake of it.
 
I'll be upgrading my 5820K System to Rocket Lake next year.
Just not keen on AMD CPU's at all especially as someone who loves tinkering and overclocking.
 
My 5820k will be going in a few months and there is zero chance of me putting in an intel system, apart from them being completely humiliated once zen3 appears (which i suspect is a no brainier) i just dont want to support a company that made very little progress over the past decade and has a dubious security track record as well as a marketing team.

You don’t have much to tinker with. No memory or CPU overclocking on anything other than the highest end motherboards and the K chips are pretty much running max clock speed.

I'd strongly suggest doing some actual research then, because Rocket Lake will allow you no such thing and memory and Infinity Fabric on Zen 2 alone will occupy even the most fevered tweaker's time.

You'd have to be an utter fool or a complete novice to even consider and Intel system for the next few years.

Are comments like this really needed? Outside of specialist work loads I really find CPU's much of a muchness, honestly, Perhaps I'm just getting older but I find the little digs on here particularly towards those considering Intel just petty, most of us have been is this game long enough now to know it swings in roundabouts, couple more years Intel will be ahead, then eventually AMD again no doubt, but end of the day all most of us do is play games and surf the web, either CPU is going to do a very very similar job.

Agreed! People seam to be getting more and more polarised on things in general (not just CPUs).

Just buy the best value chip at time you are looking! Why would you do anything else?

There is no need to be so aggressive calling people fools - maybe they only justify their relations with Intel.

But AMD is the indisputable market/technology/innovation leader in the x86-64 ecosystem.
You have:
- N7 process node vs 14nm process node;
- PCIe 4 vs PCIe 3;
- 65-watt Ryzen 7 3700X and 15-watt Ryzen 7 4800U vs 125-watt Core i9-10900K;
- innovation regarding chiplets design vs old approach with monolithic dies which has limits on core-count;
- cheap vs expensive.
