Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake thread

You're still buying twice and buying inferior components for a lot more cost. But it's your money so do with it what you will. You wanted advice, I gave it.

Going from Sandy Bridge you'll see a big jump with a Ryzen 3000. 8 cores would be plenty so grab a 3700X and a decent X570 or B550 motherboard. You have the option then of going to Ryzen 5000 in the future. 3600MHz RAM too.

That's sounds good to me, so its less power hungry and doesn't run as hot and intel.

Thanks.

Thanks, didn’t see that article and saw another which suggested it was.

Don't get me wrong, Zen 2 can run hot so don't skimp out on the cooler if you're going to hammer all 8 cores with rendering. But we're not talking ludicrous volcano temps that Intel are currently lumbered with, and certainly nowhere near as hungry.

There are refreshed X570 and B550 boards coming too which are Zen 3 ready. Keep an eye out for them.

How exactly is an Intel CPU inferior for gaming? I just don’t see AMD being that much better for gaming and what price advantage they had is very much reduced with Ryzen 5000.

The one thing Intel had was 1080P gaming, you were paying more but you did get 10% higher performance at 1080P with a very high end GPU.

Now if AMD have 10% higher performance what do Intel have?

That's what the Intel guys used to say. "But Gaming" I guess now it really doesn't matter.

Pleased with i9 10850k, got it at 5ghz all core and 1.23v so cool and fast. Not as ground breaking as Sandybridge and Skylake, but it will do for a while.

Intel also had/ has a claim on older games that use DX11 and like single core performance.

If AMD does come out on top intel literally have nothing except they might end up being cheaper

Role reversal, and AMD might try that out. Its not going to work.... the reason the 3600 sold in sick numbers was not because its faster, or even because it actually was very power efficient. it sold in massive numbers because it was good enough and inexpensive. If Intel become good enough and inexpensive Intel's fanboys will hate it, Intel will hate it. But Intel will go back to selling a lot more CPU's than AMD.

AMD have to keep pushing in the same direction whether they like it or not.

So you should be too, that's a great result on the OC - that will see you through a good while I imagine

Around 58c gaming on H100x cooler, fans still on the high side, need to drop them a bit.

Most were on CRT in 2003. Only some were starting to get into TFT then plus they were crazily expensive and if I remember correctly they were 4:3 or 5:4 then.

The quality was poor back then also.
I recall a client spending about £800 for a Philips 15" TFT and it looked terrible compared to a £500 CRT.

Seem high to me, ah nvm - been a while since I had my 8700k now, forgot how warm Intel gets during games

I had one of the last CRTs, a 21" Samsung Syncmaster that could spit out 2048x1536.

It was glorious. But it also weighed like 22KG or something and was deeper than you'd believe. Crazy pinnacle tech.
