All I know is speed -

Before anyone wants to point out that Optane is better for random read / write, do also show me 8 Tb of Optane storage.

8 Gb for $7000 also, $200 per extra 8 Gb, and soldered to prevent user upgrades.

I don’t think that Intel or AMD need to worry at all about the new Apple laptops.

My 10900K could do 4533CL15 / 4600CL16 with 1.28v SA. Completely safe and effortless, 10th gen still remains the strongest Intel IMC to this date for 1:1 memory clocks.

Also 4000 is nothing for 10th gen.

Imagine still being on Sata 1, DDR1, and PCIE 1 or even AGP if this was the case.

Only reason I stuck to Intel is I decided to keep my high end DDR4. If I was building a new system with DDR5 right now, I would be getting the 7800X3D.

Theres some people running Micron B rev configs in either 2x32 or 4x16 which can still do 4300-4400 G1. 4xDR compatibility is also listed at 4400 on current DDR4 mobos.

The problem is that ram went EOL like 3 years ago and you can only get it second hand now. I totally screwed up by not getting 4x16 when it went on EOL sale.

This is actually a lot better for 128 Gb than 4800 DDR5 G2.

Well the fact is that every gen, the 900K launches at the same price as the previous one did.

£580 for a 14900K, £1600 for a 4090.

Same with the rest of the chips as well, you basically get at least a faster chip at the same launch price.

AMD aren’t usually any better for pricing, also nothing to compete in the budget segment against non K I3 and I5 chips.

Y cruncher and Prime 95 stability are not absolute requirements for stability.

I use voltages that bsod in Cinebench for being too low for daily gaming without issue.

A 12400 non K is enough for 4K lol.

Funny fact, higher res = less to no difference from CPU because of GPU bottleneck.

Its likely the gigabyte, the majority of them can’t even run the Intel stock 3200 / 5600 ram speeds without Bsods.

Only reason to upgrade from a 12th gen is if you need a better IMC, and if you did you would do it without needing to ask.

No!

You NEED to touch bios settings on 13th / 14th gen!

This CPU won’t even last a year without degrading if left like that.

The motherboard bioses overvolt these chips for worst case scenarios.

Start off with forcing the stock power limit of the chip, I believe its 180w for the 13600K, actual usage in normal use shouldn’t be much higher than 140w.

Next calibrate the AC_LL, for some boards the value will read like 0.04, on others 40 for the same. The 13600KF I had worked at minimum AC_LL, yours might not.

Start with 0.04 then work down by 0.01 at a time and check it is still boosting in cinebench.

Also get HWinfo64 not HWmonitor.

Actually if its for Gaming Ryzen 7000 3D chips are a lot better now, much more performance at hardly any power usage, check the reviews.

I only stuck with Intel because I wanted to stick to DDR4.
