Intel Core Ultra 9 285k 'Arrow Lake' Discussion/News ("15th gen") on LGA-1851

So now it's about energy efficiency CPU's .... Well, that's not going to help us gamers and 3D designers!!!

'So now it's about energy efficiency CPU's'
No, it's about energy efficient everything - do you live in a cave? Don't worry you will cope

If your main use case is gaming, Ryzen 9800X3D or 9950X3D will be far superior to Arrow Lake.

Yes, its just gaming and nothing else.

I currently have an I7 9700K so any upgrade will be good!

AMDlake

apparently.

it's just a cpu.
i played many hours of online games on a geforce 1050. i wasnt fapping over a benchmark score. with a card that literally is 20 X the price. and cpu's that for games are largely irrelevant except for e-peen.

the hype is to churn thru new merch.

You should ask Godzilla if he's ok.

I've ordered the Gigabyte Z890 AORUS ELITE for my 265K. For £300 seems to be the best choice apart from the MSI Tomahawk.

IIRC that price is close to £100 more that I paid for my Z690 variant of that board, when AL first released.

I’d def go MSI this gen where possible due to their bios state.

Can you define irrelevant again? If gaming is the main system use the X3D CPUs are the most relevant parts the industry has ever seen. Ryzen X3D parts are the only CPUs to have recourses dedicated to them to produced a gaming focused desktop CPU.

Had a look at that one yesterday and it seems the best one at that price, still really on the fence as to whether I fully commit to an Intel swap again but I'm having to jump between 2 PCs at the minute for work/gaming and I'd rather bring that together.

Do you know what the state the Gigabyte boards are currently at? They have a put out a recent bios update a few days ago.

 

[pcfarrar]

I’ve got board and cpu now so can do some benchmarks later once I’ve built it up.

what cpu did you get?

 

[pcfarrar]

I've got the 265K and Gigabyte Z890 AORUS ELITE. I'm not under any NDA so I can post gaming benchmarks etc. Going to the gym first and will build it up later on.

Really looking forward to seeing the results.

Seems a fairly robust BIOS update so far, I've had a couple of issues on my Z790 Aorus Master but I think that is more me doing things a little unconventionally than a Gigabyte problem.

The Tomahawk boards are rock solid. (Thanks @Tetras)

You don’t get the Aorus AI snatch on the Z690 though, surely that’s got to be worth an extra £100

MSI
Asrock
Asus
GB

In terms of BIOS on ARL for now.

Any idea @Gibbo when the CUDIMM memory kits going to become available?
