Yeah general computing shouldn’t be an issue for you. Is this a fresh install of windows? That can do wonders for problems like this, if it hasn’t been done in a while. Otherwise, ssd issue perhaps, you can use crystaldiskinfo to check drive health. Or, a temperature problem somewhere, are you monitoring temperature? I use hwmonitor. There’s also hwinfo which is what most people would recommend.
Yeah that wasn’t my experience, and I have a b760 board and shouldn’t even be able to undervolt (gigabyte had a workaround for me.)
Anyway, it just kept on going. 150 200 250 didn’t bluescreen until 300mv. Just luck of the draw I guess. If that doesn’t work… you just have the power limits (pl1 and pl2). That or send it back and try to get a replacement.
You could go either way… but I think I’d rather those pcores on the 13700k.
I mean there’s a kernal of truth in there. They’re basically atom cores and the reason intel is using them is because they can’t fit so many p cores with their current node.
But they really do help in multithreaded loads, and loads not dependent on raw throughput are rarely going to need more than 8 strong cores, so there is logic to it. And smaller lower clocked cores really are more efficient.
It does more than make it look like the cpu has more cores, though of course it does do that too.
Hmmm well I would say you can more easily build a budget lga1700 system than a budget am5 system.
There’s the productivity like you already mentioned.
And yes the 7800x3d is faster in games but its really not that much faster vs the 14900k when you average out a lot of different games at different settings ( like 1-2% )
Then you have the fact that intels going to be better at multitasking than the 7800x3d. Even if you’re ‘just gaming’ does that mean you don’t have… a browser open, or discord or an antivirus or whatever else at the same time? You’re running on a completely fresh install of windows at all times? I kind of doubt it. Which means you wont get the same numbers as benchmarkers.
Intel also kind of has a little more of a it just works factor. But I wont belabour the point since I don’t actually own an am5 machine. Just heard a lot of stories of long boot times and ram not working and so on… Just anecdotal…
But, besides all of that, the 7800x3d is the fastest gaming cpu out there and its not a bad price (way cheaper than 14900k) and its more power efficient under load so, I don’t think you can really go wrong either way.
But I will say if you think you’re going to decide to go with intel you don’t have to buy 14900k, 14600k or 14700k will do excellent as well. The 14600k is going to provide most of the same gaming performance as well being a good all arounder and cheap. And the 14700k is a good middle ground. And you can save some more money by getting the f model too.
My artic 240 is enough for my 14700kf, even during cinebench all core load. Albeit with a fairly aggressive undervolt. But even without the undervolt, would still would be fine for games and most real world tasks.
Huh… Well if thats what they need to do get some revenue, I guess I understand, but I wont be buying it. I really thought this node was already tapped out…
Yes, my 13600k ran 5600mhz cl36 ram overclocked to 6400 cl30 though I had to turn voltages up. You could get a kit thats already clocked to 6000 or more and just turn on xmp to make it easy. It should run, even 7000. But the higher you go the more risk of instability there is. But just 6000? Yeah that should be no problem.
Well intel could always just do what amd does, and get tsmc to make their chips so no (infact thats what intel does with their gpus). But they do have struggles ahead to improve profitability which I assume is why they’ve been cutting so many programs lately.
Office work? Yes. Gaming? eh… Perhaps some older games, or newer games at ungodly low resolutions. If gaming is important to you, you really want a dedicated gpu.
