Intel i9 (comet lake)
- Thread starter Loxa
- Start date
In the conclusions of the 10700 on TPU they say that it struggles with being an 8 core at 65 watt and at stock is barely faster than a 10600, but performs significantly better than stock when the power limits are unlocked (up to +30%). I'd imagine that the 10900 would be in a similar bracket, that you'd really need a hefty motherboard that can run it unlocked.
The impact in games is much less significant because Skylake cores are quite good on power when playing games (more efficient than Rocket Lake).
Another thing to be aware of is that a comet lake CPU in a rocket lake motherboard will often disable the primary PCI-E slot, this is usually less of an issue with ATX builds, but for M-ATX or ITX it can be a big problem.

I thought the 10850k was the one to go for on that range?

Is there a reason he is looking at the I9 versus a Ryzen 7/9? Performance is roughly the same, but power consumption is much lower on the AMD parts core to core.
This is assuming he is building a new machine, if he is looking to swap out a chip on a compatible motherboard, then never mind, in which case, as above I'd heard the 10850k was better value than the 10900

On the flipside, Intel has less bugs and stability issues. Granted, most of Ryzen's issues are now resolved, though I still see far more issues being posted by Ryzen owners than Intel owners.
Also, power consumption is of course lower on Ryzne, though not drastically lower in gaming workloads.
Haha. Oh, you might actually be serious.
