Certainly strange but far too common in the hardware sections (obviously ignoring facts for beliefs is very common in Speaker's Corner and similar).
There do seem to a few posters who have (and this cannot be put delicately), more money than sense. Or as @Journey put it: "all the gear and no idea."

Because people aren't too excited about purchasing a (hot) glitter covered turd.
Seriously, even if it's a few percent faster in games, it's a objectively bad purchase in the majority instances vs zen 3.
It does genuinely concern me. If somebody can be wilfully ignorant over something as inconsequential as PC hardware, is that a personality trait that carries through to other aspects of life? What else would they ignore?
But still, since I need to grow up apparently, this particular conversational piece shall be moved to a more suitable forum of discussion.

This can only be Dave2150 posting under an alt account so the insanity may be less common than it seems.
The content and posting style is very similar. The way he ignores points that don't fit his works view is the same. The reliance on Intels data over all other sources. Plus the fact that Dave2150 hasn't posted in this thread is suspicious given it's the only thing he posts about.

I’m new here, but can’t help but notice the attack on any Intel post by a barrage of AMD supporters.
If someone opens a thread titled 11900k for example, then surely it would be best to let people talk about what they want, or buy what they want without telling them how much better AMD is. They’ve clearly made a decision. And if they are trolling, they will not get any attention.
If someone is asking for advice then fair enough, but it doesn’t look like that is the case.

I think the problem is the 10 series is rumoured to be better than the 11 series but we will have to wait a couple of weeks to see properly
Didnt you read the OP?
Its full of bold claims that are always going to be scrutinised.
He sounds like he’s trying to get a rise. If that’s the case then ignoring him would be more effective. If he’s genuine, then let him buy what he wants. It’s his money and his mistake.

Precisely.
Its unlikely that people would ignore something they find annoying or wrong. Much in the same way you couldn't ignore it yourself. You felt a desire to defend instead of ignore
Most of us are not AMD supporters rather hardware enthusists. So when someone starts a thread with an unsubstantiated claim that the 11900k will be the fatsest gaming CPU then it will start a debate and quite rightly so. Now if this was a 11900K owners thread that would be slightly different but i would still expect even then to see talk of the oppostion . Forums at the end of the day are a place to talk and learn
If the OP wants a 11900KF, I'm sure it will be fine. Just maybe it isn't quite as good as a 5800X or 10 core 10900K. Intel needed a model clocked @5.3ghz to attempt to make up for the architecture's flaws on 14nm.
We don't need to take a dump on the 11900K/KF, the £500 price tag will already put most ppl off + knowledge of Alder Lake releasing 'soon'.
Basically, the 5800X is king clock for clock, if all 8 cores were clocked @5.3ghz it would win harder than Charlie Sheen.

It's relentless here.
Put about ten or twenty people on mute and it's not so bad.
They may as well be bots as they just repeat themselves incessantly.
The cult of CPU manufacturing.
That’s a fair point. I have noticed that this happens a lot on here even in the “who will be pre ordering 11900k” or whatever. If I seen something that didn’t interest me or annoyed me as someone mentioned, I wouldn’t click on it.
I was and still am interested in all topics, that’s the only reason I am here, and have already learned a lot from people in the short time I have been on here.
I own a 10900k so this interests me. Not because I want to upgrade, but I like to see how this actually ends up once real reviews are out. Personally I think anyone buying into the 11th gen for Pcie 4.0, or another few frames if that, is absolutely mad considering Alder Lake will be out probably by the beginning of next year and then DDR5.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but i just think this seems to happen too often on here, and it seems to be one or two people blatantly trying to get a rise knowing a lot of you will take the bait.

Too often in those long 6 days since you joined?
Yes that’s my point, even in the short period I have been on here. I have however read posts that go back much further than 6 days, and it does t take a genius to see a pattern forming here.

We have a couple of rather special members (probably the same person using multiple accounts) spreading dubious information, it's not really clear why, they're either being paid or just have issues.
They rightfully get shot down everytime they post misinformation. Allowing the forum to be used as a marketing campaign shouldn't be encouraged.
This thread is a reasonable example. OP posts some unsubstantiated claim trying to drum up excitement for a mediocre product. Doesn't really understand the problem with the product because they ignore every other poster and then starts trying to troll for a reaction when they don't get the response they want.
It's a frequent occurance.

It's sickening to see the FUD that gets posted, and being an industry professional its hard to ignore the utter disregard for accurate information being peddled as facts, its even more harmful when people use this information gleaned from a quick Google search to base a purchasing decision on etc. Then you have to account for those who've never used the kit they harp on about, or likely never will, armchair experts need to be countered since you can't ban free speech.
It isn't. not by a long way. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16535/intel-core-i7-11700k-review-blasting-off-with-rocket-lake
