1800X, same performance as the 6900X at half the power, Intel on their 14nm, AMD on a brand new Gloabal Foundries 14nm.

I have been watching this space for about 25 years.
In all that time several significant breakthroughs in CPU's have been made, by Intel and AMD.
Intel practically invented the CPU, before X86 we had logic processors and each one had to be hardwired for a specific task, so you would have lots of them on a board, Intel created a programmable processor that could be programmed to do many different tasks through software extensions, X86 and with it the Central Processing Unit was born, along with it the IBM Personal Computer.
Since then its mostly AMD who have made the significant changes to the CPU, and each time an army of Intel shills downplayed or out right poo poo'ed on everything AMD ever did, despite nothing that Intel did in competition to AMD's innovations ever working, i still see people bleeting on that Itanium was better, it was ####### horrendous, slow, unstable, difficult to program for and MASSIVE power consumption, no one wanted it, IT died a slow expensive death for good reason.
You're not a shill or even remotely a fanboi
@Joxeon so i don't get it.
Alderlake will be good, the 12900K will beat the 5950X by a small margin, ok fine, Intel are fighting back, we knew they would eventually, but it will pull twice as much power doing it, not because AMD are on a better node, because Intel's architecture just isn't as efficient.
