Intel Core i7-11700K Review: Blasting Off with Rocket Lake
- Thread starter Purgatory
- Start date
Maybe a shareholder?
It's the only thing which makes any rational sense.
Speaking of suspected shareholders, on any article over at Anandtech there is always one or two commenters who must be Intel shareholders, employees or both. No matter what, they always try to spin things with a pro-Intel comment or two, or ten.
Amusing, unfortunately no way to put them on ignore for article comments.
Well team red did recently turn blue
could be a good indicator haha!

Yup this paints a picture, and it is what we are seeing here as well.
The 3600 is still going strong for the budget builds, and we are selling more 5800X builds because A) the 5600X is expensive and B) the 5900X is just unavailable.

5600x is way overpriced for the current exchange rate, it's £257 on AMD store.
AMD's store doesn't include VAT until you checkout.
Does for me, well on GPU's it does

Many will buy them for stability (loads of USB disconnecting issues on Zen 3 it seems) and for the best gaming performance. Remember, the i9 at stock is going to re-take the gaming performance crown:
I think the Anandtech i7 reviews numbers looked bugged in some way. We'll see once the release uefi/microcode and official benchmarks are released.
If Intel knew they had more leads of 10% or more they would be on this slide, Intel only ever put their absolute best case on slides like this, and even then they are exaggerated.
This slide tells me Anand's slides are right.

So that's still £30 less than OcUK, and £50 less than other places. Randomly just found it for £272, but isn't clear if VAT is included.

Loads of USB connectivity issues you say? Strange not had a single issue myself. I also notice people have asked lots of questions of you but you never answer them. All questions asked have been reasonable and logical but no replies from you. Honestly i think you know yourself that you are just trolling

Dave has been trolling from the start, I don't really get his agenda but he's determined!
He knows nothing about USB disconnect issues, he doesn't have an AMD system and is just regurgitating something he's found online with his usual enthusiatic exaggeration.
The same goes for his faith in Intel's microcode update and manufacturing prowess. Makes himself sound like he's in the know but never backs this up in anyway and clearly is just a dreamer.
Soldato
Apparently his mate has a 5800x now that keeps crashing its in the 5000 series crashing thread more trolling no doubt
Is Rocket Lake better at gaming than Comet Lake? Early benchmarks are in!

your name is quite apt, that's where Intel is, Purgatory
Not only is that more disappointing benchmarks BUT it's using the new bios which Hasn't done much

So they can sell you new motherboards with new chipsets that they make money on, people forget the chipset on motherboards for intel cpus are made by intel too, the other thing that makes them money as well as LAN chipsets, wireless chipsets, USB chipsets etc on these motherboards too.
The intel scam has always been about new platform with new pin layout for each new cpu and lucky if you get a single update after the one you got, but normally not even worth updating to the next one as it's normally just a few single percent faster with maybe less power usage.
The never ending cycle of same tech with a new pin layout and new name to hide it's the same thing rehashed, they finally this time decided to add pcie v4, while pcie v5 and v6 standards have been passed. So they really were 3 generations behind in PCIE compared to AMD that is was 2 behind the available standards. Dave will say well nothing uses PCIE4 .. but the NVME storage does and faster PCIE we get the faster the storage and more bandwidth to more devices at faster speeds.

Too much invested in it to simply cancel it I suppose. Like when they released Broadwell on desktop mere months before Skylake. Nobody cared and it wasn't even an upgrade over Haswell/Devil's Canyon apart from the iGPU (which is oddly similar to this release actually), but they pushed it out anyway, perhaps just so they could say they released two different architectures on that socket.
It delivers good but worse performance and will probably be available.
That's reason enough right now.
