It looks like the 13000 series is much like the 4090 and downclocks well making it way more efficient while losing very little performance.

That’s what it’s meant to be about “fun” although I’m finding it’s quite the opposite for the select few on here.When I had to pay for it I had every single platform Z and X including at least 4 flagship gpus to bench four way.... I didn't have one cpu per platform either I had several. So my attitude exactly the same then.... In tech you can always wait for better... But if gaming or overclocking is your hobby may as well enhance the fun now...
Watched this yesterday. This is definitely the way to go with 13gen. Can’t wait to start tinkering when I eventually get the rest of my parts.It looks like the 13000 series is much like the 4090 and downclocks well making it way more efficient while losing very little performance.

Everyone is caught up on “dead end” this and “next year” that.
AMD vs Intel is the most ridiculous thing for tech enthusiasts, because you are missing out sticking to one brand. For what?
Those are mostly the amd fans. Plenty of those here in this very forum said theyd never buy intel.Are there really many die hards who will only go one team though. Suspect the majority will make a decision at the time they want to upgrade and get what they feel is best for them. Rest is just playground arguing.
On here that’s all I’m seeing. It’s AMD or nothing.Are there really many die hards who will only go one team though. Suspect the majority will make a decision at the time they want to upgrade and get what they feel is best for them. Rest is just playground arguing.
And that is probably their exact thinkingYeah I said AM5 MB now cost double so the board makers are now stealing any savings you make by not needing to upgrade again.
But in productivity those Skylake level E-cores add decent performance:And that is probably their exact thinking
Motherboard makers:
AM4 lasted for years - we sold less boards overall.
AM5 will last for for years - we will milk them as early as possible!
Okay, some things have gone up and PCIe 5.0 tracing must be hard, but Intel's constant need for new chipsets was not just done to allow Intel to use old fabs to make new chipsets - keeping the OEMs and board makers happy with constant - and mostly needless - was certainly a large part of the reason too.
At 257mm² Raptor Lake is pretty big for a consumer CPU. A Zen4 is 83mm² so even taking the IOD into account, the 16C Zen4 CPUs are smaller. Not that us consumers care - and the P cores do give gamers good performance (at a huge transistor cost) - for servers... Well, Intel have to release some E core server parts and try to find a market for them because Zen4 EPYC is simply unbeatable in terms of area, power, and overall cost.
Asus have not got an ETA or price yet@ScottiB Will you offer pre-orders on the Apex?
November last year I bought my 12600k for £248.
Holy **** but I am pleased I did.
Prices across the board are just insane.
AMD/Intel have released some good CPUs but the prices (and platform entry for AMD) make them a poor value verse just under one year ago.
there's always an uplift on a new generation but we can't ignore the main issue, which is a government who royally shafted the currencyNovember last year I bought my 12600k for £248.

No idea how they have my figure. I am using my PC now (7950x) with Outlook, Spotify, Revit, AutoCAD and Chrome open and am only using 20w to 40w for CPU (spikes to 40w and sits close to 25-30watt).So they still haven't fixed the idle power draw problem? Zen 4 consumes 10 times as much as the 12900k, wtf

You make some ridiculous statements, but that tops it for me. Theres a whole website dedicated to pushing utter biased nonsense about Intel cpu's.Those are mostly the amd fans. Plenty of those here in this very forum said theyd never buy intel.
So yeah...
