Great work marc 👌

I would have preferred to see graphs that aren't visually misleading. The gaps are 10-15 fps difference, scores are MAYBE 10% in favor of Intel with the synthetic scores being within margin of error (<5% vs AMD). This kind of thing is seen as sleazy by anyone that knows how to market one product over another. Bottom of the graphs should read "0" for framerates and scores. This legitimately makes Intel seem insanely better compared to AMD, which it isn't by any metric that you'd notice on any level.

AMD's only serious loss vs Intel is their platform cost for AM5. It's so much of a problem that unless they drop motherboard prices by a solid 20% across the board, they are likely going to lose the momentum they built on up to this point.

Definitely don't want to end the post on a bad note. Love the comprehensive testing done by people on OCN, but don't do graphs like that. It looks like the same kind of marketing BS we see everywhere. No need to exacerbate the win unless you want people like me to nitpick your work.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm always trying to figure this one out. If a GPU is undervolted and at the maximum temp before it drops core clock speed, then a newer/faster CPU could give it more FPS and it would just drop the core clock anyway?

13900K is a BEAST for sure! Imagine using DDR5 7200-8000!

*Laughs maniacally in 13900KS & 4133CL14+ G1 SOOOOOON!

I'd consider 13900K to be the current champ for an all gaming build, no contest. And it accomplishes this with 8 performance cores vs the 7950X's 16 full speed performance cores. Makes me excited to see what intel's new raptor lake-s lineup performs like once they drop.

Definitely! Plus they are cheap considering what you’re actually getting. I remember how expensive (10/20) Intel 10900K’s were, sold out everywhere $1,000 bucks a pop for even a standard chip on eBay, blazing fast in games, but they would get whooped in multithreaded by the cheaper Ryzen chips. And now the 13900K is less expensive and more powerful as well. Crazy how pure competitiveness changes everything.

**** ....

Arctic 420 AIO dispatched, and my refund for the 360 was processed yesterday.

And the case is in stock at both Scan and OCUK, but my order with OCUK didn't dispatch yet, I sent a webnote as it was 2 hours past their phonelines closing, hopefully it will dispatch tomorrow or monday at the latest.

Z790 SOON!!!!

That’s awesome. Are you getting a 13900KS?

Yes when it comes out, going to spend a while testing for any ram OC differences between the boards with the current 12600k.

All the CPUs are engineering samples. How valid are the benchmarks vs actual commercial units?

My scores and framerate seems in line with what others have posted on hwbot and on a few forums on OCN. Same as max overclocks on air cooling, so I wouldnt say there is a big difference between ES and retail samples in this thread.
