Rocket Lake Review: A waste of sand...

Im sure a simple bios update will fix this
is exactly what Dave will be saying, every week he'll drop a random post "the 11900k is going to be the fastest gaming cpu when the next bios gets released, goodbye amd!"
It's built to scaleable, so if Intel wants prefer to outsource a chiplet or two for its next cpu it can, it can even mix and match them - their new architecture can support say a cpu which has half TSMC 3nm chiplets on a low (or high) performance architecture and half Intel 7nm chiplets on a high (or low) performance architecture.
The idea is that Intel will no longer we held back by its own Fab having issues, by breaking down the CPU into its individual units on the die they can outsource bits and even mix architectures and process nodes - it comes together with the foveros 3D stacked interconnect and Intel's fixed function hardware scheduler chip that does the cpu resource scheduling work for the OS (Intel claims it's fixed function resource scheduler chip speeds up multithreaded performance in Windows by up to 2x) - that itself is not a surprise at all, a fixed function hardware unit is always going to get the job done much faster than software, just like that's the case for rayvtracing

That's happened on the amd side too, the AIb didn't want AMD to allow PCIe4 on non 500 series boards even though the older boards can support it
Simple evidence to show how much shill UserFakeBenchMark does
Consistently they have hammered on about AMD's memory latency and use it to deduct points from AMD's single core performance and put high scores on Intel for their low latency.
fast forward, here we have the 11700k putting out 62ns latency, 50% higher than last gen Intel and higher than Ryzen 5000 and yet UserFakeBenchMark still continues to give this CPU a very high memory score despite it being slower than and AMD CPU https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/41300013

WOW the power difference between the 8700k & 9900k it not far off being double
That's because in this ringbus architecture, adding cores produces a logarithmic increase in power draw - so adding 33% more cores gives you much more than 33% higher power usage. Instead of Rocket lake, if Intel refreshed Comet lake and produced a 5-5.3ghz 12 core 11900k it would most likely have power usage at around 400w
I've seen one person get 5.3ghz using 1.46v overclock on the 11900k (water cooled) and that person is a professional benchmarker who holds 3D Mark top 10 records.
Every other example I've seen has only managed 4.9ghz to 5.1ghz (and this is why most reviewers did not put up overclocking results, because the overclocks that were stable resulted in lower performance than stock)
And the pro benchmarkers don't care about stability, you just need the CPU to complete your benchmark, rest of tasks/games etc is meaningless so cause a pro got 5.3ghz doesn't mean you can do it and be stable.

The sad thing is how many hits they get, userbenchmark consistently pulls over 10 million views per month. How users get there is super obvious as well, people don't look for userbenchmark they type in "organic" terms into Google like "gpu benchmark" or "cpu benchmark" and because of how much they pay Google their names come up at the top. Userbenchmark also doesn't have much traffic from people directly going to the site or from direct links through 3rd pages like from Reddit or youtube etc nor does it get many clicks from ads - their entire thing relies on people searching for generic tech terms on Google and that's it

Hardware unboxed report that 11th gen are selling very poorly, pc part stores and distributors in Australia say it's the worst Intel CPU launch ever they are stuck with stock and in the US on Amazon 11th gen is far behind AMD and AMD continues to dominate the top 10 sales
He said he has a lot of m2 drives, but doesn't mind that plugging them all in will restrict his gpu to half pcie lane bandwidth, guess he's not a gamer
This made me lol.
That is just absolutely hilarious, Rocket Lake is a serious regression for Intel in performance per watt - there you go kids, now you know, backporting is hot garbage, never do a backport
RTX IO takes data from the storage (SSD) and transfers it to VRAM, on it's way to VRAM, any compressed files are decompressed by RTX IO.
RTX IO does not replace system RAM. RTX IO's sole job is to replace the CPU by doing decompresion on the gpu and not the cpu
Using RTX IO, a RTX3080 GPU has the same decompression performance as a AMD Threadripper 3970x
