AMD looks set to catch with Intel, when Zen 4 is released. I think Intel's 13th gen could end up with higher singlethreaded performance, but only when clocked over 5.0ghz, so these parts won't be cheap or easy to cool.
It depends really. I think the 13th gen and Zen4 at the same clock speeds will give similar performance, so AMD's ability to compete at the enthusiast level end may depend on overclocking >5ghz, or maybe a premium super clocked edition at some point. It looks like 5.5ghz is going to roughly be the limit for both companies, excluding liquid nitrogen cooling
Intel won't be easily beaten by Zen4, but they will likely fall behind on gaming performance, with the release of Zen 4 CPUs + v-cache. It's quite easy to predict that, because the 5800X3D was already getting higher minimum framerates in some titles, than the much more power hungry, hotter running 12900KS. Power consumption comparison here:
So you went from talking to about power draw in relation to gaming performance to showing a Cinebench comparison for power draw.
A comparison in which the 12900ks scores absolutely decimate the 5800x3d because CB was already running in L3 and the additional cache doesn’t help?
Maybe it’s time to throw the readers a reminder that you made the clowniest thread on here in recent memory where intel was going to cancel RPL purely based on your feelings lol
