Seriously, you have an A320 board and a GPU to actually take advantage of the zen 3d? Like - who's the person with an 800 to 2000 GPU that has a 5 year old A320 and plays at 1080p. Whos that person, I wanna meet him. Btw, fyi, it's cheaper to get the 12600k + a brand new mobo than the 3d costs on it's own. A couple of weeks ago even a 12700f + a b660 was cheaper than the 3d. Thats absurd.
Just like you can use any other CPU that's cheaper? I don't know man, I don't see someone that can't spend 100-150 to get a brand new mother be the target group of the 3d. It's ridiculously expensive and only makes a difference when you already have a top of the line gpu that costs upwards of 2k.
And why would you rather keep your 5 year old outdated used and out of warranty motherboard instead of just buying a brand new CPU + a brand new shiny motherboard with all the bells and whistles for the price the 3d costs on it's own? I don't know, sounds absurd to me. The 3d is for people that have money to burn. Which is fine, there is a market for people like that. But trying to portray it as a value option is just ridiculous. It just isn't even if you already have a motherboard.
Most likely. Cache plays a big role when you are running with untuned ram. I don't think the difference will be as big with tuned systems
New B660 boards like the mortar max and B660M PG riptide are coming which use cheap DDR4 and allow bclk overclocking on non K CPUs.

I dont believe this is for a second. No way in hell it consumes 238w at 5.9ghz, especially with that wattage. Wouldn't surprise if it was at 400w actually.13700k overclocked to 5.9ghz all core with 1.42-1.44v. Not exotic cooling either, CPU running at 86c under load and power draw is 238w.
But, the E cores are disabled so its operating with 8 cores and 16 threads.
Intel Core i7-13700K Raptor Lake CPU Overclocked To 6 GHz Across All Raptor Cove Cores
Intel's 16 Core Raptor Lake Core i7-13700K CPU has been overclocked to an impressive 6 GHz across all of its 8 Raptor Cove cores.
Well i personally wouldnt buy an Intel system now as i know the socket is dead after RPL. Anyone else knowing that may elect to drop in a 3D and wait till Zen 4 3D or Zen 5. Not everyone wants to spend money on a motherboard every 2 generations,not when that money can be spent on better Graphics cards
I agree with your point but a lot of people like me have NEVER upgraded a CPU on a motherboard.
The money you save on the board gets eaten up with the pricier CPUs though atleast that's how it was on Zen 3 for the first 14 months after release. Also Intel CPUs and boards tend to hold their price better on the used market so selling both to upgrade isn't as much as a loss as in some cases just the CPU for ryzen.

AMD has a better policy here, much easier for newcomers to understand.
Yeah those numbers make sense, and they aint far off a 12900k. I can get 5.7ghz on 2 cores at 1.55-1.58v. The all core speed can get up to 5.4 but my air cooler can't handle it, so it drops to 5.2.Same guy has a 13900k too, says he's got it to 6.1ghz on one core with 1.5v or 5.5ghz all core on P core and 4.3ghz on E core with 1.3v and he achieved just under 40 thousand score in R23. The 13900k pulled 350w in R23 at 1.3v with clocks at 5.5ghz P core and 4.3ghz E core.
Intel Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake 24-Core CPU Overclocked To 6.1 GHz, 5.5 GHz All-Core Benchmark Beats Threadripper 2990X 32-Core By 30%
Intel's flagship Raptor Lake Core i9-13900K CPU has been overclocked to 6.1 GHz & with a 5.5 GHz all-core OC, it beats Threadripper chips.
Chiller but good to see 1k SC broken.
