Raptor Lake Leaks + Intel 4 developments

[uscool]

Wasn't that the same as ryzen though with the curve optimizer?.

Out of the box ryzen doesn't suck as much power for productivity

Boards for intel just seem random with power limits out of the box just have to look at reviews

Dear me.... who cares about this stuff live for the moment!!

While i like your style that is certainly easier said then done when you get paid to play with the latest tech everyday

 

[the wopster]

Yeah it is if you convert it like that but i was talking about buying one while im over there.

Run the risk of having to pay the duty and VAT on it if you get shook down at the airport coming back

And maybe staff discounts I can only dream

it was always gonna use more power , they added more clock speed with more E cores and its a refresh but good performance uplift for being one but going forward they cant just keep throwing power at it , same for both just Intel uses more

Yeah but bencher and Dave said it's gonna use the same power as a 12900k even with its 40% more cores just cause you know, Intel magic

 

[skullkid]

so if you are building a new PC from scratch, go with AM5? that seems the crux of it! unless you're happy to refit out your entire case when you eventually want to upgrade.

 

[Bencher]

Yeah but bencher and Dave said it's gonna use the same power as a 12900k

And it does? 253w vs 241w power limit, that's roughly the same power. What's the difference, less than 5%?

I would love to upgrade, but this is a dead platform. No upgrade path

You won’t have to upgrade for a good while so I don’t get this “dead end” crap.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they work for intel so best taken with big grain of salt

 

[humbug]

So this whole thread is now about power consumption, good work, whoever put the effort in, we all know who....

 

[uscool]

You won’t have to upgrade for a good while so I don’t get this “dead end” crap.

But I still rather have that option open regardless for next 2-3 years and the amount of progress GPUs are making we are seeing CPU benchmarks

Live for the moment and Live every day if it’s your last, is my motto 8Pack.

It kinda does matter when Motherboards aren't free. the less motherboards you have to buy the more CPU or GPU you can buy.

I sold a kidney to pay for my motherboard. Probably won’t eat much for the next month either.

As exciting as the same nonense is every few posts, to change the direction a little, the 13600k from a handful of samples are hitting 5.5 consistently for all core. No data on 13700k's yet.

I wanted that Kidney....

Those that have to pay for it presumably

I wouldn’t let it hold me back. The gains over the last couple of years haven’t been that great. Say you didn’t upgrade, and you let that be the deciding factor “the dead end platform” wouldn’t be an issue.

I’d rather buy the fastest for my use case at that time. Maybe if I upgrade my 4090 in two years and it’s going to hold me back.

That kind of falls down though when the CPUs and motherboards cost more, a B660 + 13600KF reuse your DDR4

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x MSI Pro B660M-A WIFI DDR4 - Intel B660 DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-36L-MS) = £159.95
• 1 x Intel Core i5-13600KF (Raptor Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-6B8-IN) = £355.99

Total: £526.44 (includes delivery: £10.50)​

​

B650 7600X + DDR5 6000

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x MSI MAG B650M Mortar WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-377-MS) = £269.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Six Core 5.30GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DG-AM) = £319.99
• 1 x Kingston FURY Beast EXPO 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit (KF560C36BBEK2-32) (SKU: MY-29T-KS) = £248.99

Total: £849.47 (includes delivery: £10.50)​

You're already saved £325 so thats your new intel motherboard in a few years while selling the DDR4 + B660 when you come to upgrade in a few years will also cover some new DDR5 which has likely gotten much cheaper and faster by then.

Fair enough I ain't in no rush so just will wait for the announcement of 7000x3d and decide hopefully boards and ddr5 pricing is better as well
