Let the games begin 🤩

 

I have a m14h and 12900k reserved. Uncertain about how to get ddr5 in aus, no one has been able to get me any info

 

ddr5 chip shortage. most reviewers are using micron 4800 kit.

 

Good luck to those who will be going for ADL from the start :

DDR5 memory, according to MSI, will cost 50 to 60 percent more than DDR4 memory.

Memory manufacturers are hard at work supplying new modules to retailers while motherboard manufacturers steadily unveil their plans for the next-generation Intel 600 series chipsets. ...

Yikes...

 

I am hugging my b-die kit right now..hahaha..hope DDR4 boards come out as an alternative/viable solution..

 

Australian prices are going to be crazy ... maximus hero at 1200 AUD, formula at 1800 AUD and extreme at 2400 AUD =x ... Anyone in the market for a kidney?

 

Try this guy, 'Heaviest' kidneys removed in high-risk operation

 

 

400 wt . Not bad.

 

300W SSE? Isnt that insane? Comparing to ambient cooling clocks, its harder than CML could do... Its more than X299 could do... 3175X... maybe...like 4.5gig allcore?

 

Spoiler

All these Dies.... do we have any knowledge whatsoever which one of these are going to perform? If those new Samsung B-Dies are anything like their predecessors, their 4800 Kit might easily reach 6600+.

hope DDR4 boards come out as an alternative/viable solution..

theyve been known to exist since weeks. Asus, MSI and ASRock had their lineup leaked already too. DDR4 alternatives are always a tad cheaper and the high end boards are all DDR5.
I honestly think, considering everything we know, that having superclocked DDR4 B-Dies might be quite superior to DDR5 for a while.

We will find out pretty soon lol.

 

I would consider Alder lake if there was a 12900k without the little cores.

 

Isn't that the 12600k?

 

You can disable the little cores, not the big ones tho.

 

But you can't do the same for the price jump. Not much point in paying for something I'm not going to use.

 

Overclocked Intel i9-12900K Beats Ryzen 5950X But at a Huge Power Cost!

We've already seen more than a few benchmarks leak online suggesting that the Intel i9-12900K is going to help the firm retain its position as the King (or Queen if you prefer) of the single-core performance stakes. The results, however, were not quite so encouraging in terms of multi-core...

www.eteknix.com

 

Waiting for November 4th! lol

 

+4 gravemont cores, 0.3 ghz boost frequency and bigger l3 cache.
but in the multicore geekbench the difference was rather marginal (26k vs 23k)

 

its actually quite close to the increase in thread count no?
a 20% increase in thread count and 6% increase in clock speed resulted in a ~13% increase in multi-threaded performance.

whats curious however is how E-cores can contribute towards multi-thread performance without robbing the P-cores of power and heat budget.

 

Little cores are overclockable.

 

I wonder if it has two Vcore rails... If not, that was a major oversight; but if so, OH BOY here comes the fun with nailing down a stable overclock on both sets of cores with their different multipliers and voltages, and trying to figure out which one was responsible for any random crashes!

 

its not hard.

asus tends to make boards noob friendly

 

Can't wait to benchmark 12900k. The question is if I can get a lga 1700 bracket for my EK waterblocks in time....

 

no need

Retail cpu and boards are he in MY. No MRSP on the cpu and boards yet.

Intel cpu MY mrsp = usd mrsp normally

 

Looks like G.skill is using Samsung for DDR 5:
I hope these samsung IC is overclocking like crazy, like ddr4 b.die

"At this point, G.Skill has only announced that the DDR5-6600 versions of its Trident Z5 and Trident Z5 RGB will be available in 32GB kits (2x16GB), all of which use Samsung ICs. The company even posted a screenshot showing validation of the memory kits at full speed to back up its claims."

 

Guys, I have bad news for you. Alderlake will be very hot.
Here in the picture is a section of the BIOS ms z690 Unify-X
cpu current limit 512 A

Spoiler: z690

for comparison on the 10th and 11th generation 256 A

Spoiler: z590

Icc max is too big. in such stress tests as Linx, which fully loads the processor by 100 percent, there will be very high heat dissipation
(you can calculate it yourself P max = Icc max * Vcore load)

Perhaps I am mistaken and such a large Iccmax will be used only in a single-core boost, and when all cores are loaded, its limit will be automatically reduced by the internal processor regulators.
But still, I wanted to test the stability of the processor normally, and not just cinebench or "only games". LinX is a great tool that will immediately show problems without long 24/7 tests. Intel uses it themselves.

 

That's just maxed out motherboard settings, not the spec of the chip. Look at what the power limit is set to.

 

With Zen3D coming in a few months, it probably won't beat AL in single thread, but multithread will most likely be AMD's with all of that cache. It'll also consume a lot less power, it's on a mature platform with DDR4 at its peak, and it has good 3rd party options to dial the system in.

E cores on AL are just a gimmick on desktop systems, and without Gracemont, Intel can't compete with AMD in multithread and be within a reasonable TDP, if you can call 300w+ on a mainstream platform reasonable. PCIe 5.0 boards won't be cheap, DDR5 is expensive and unoptimized, and Intel's 10nm aka 7 is HOTTT. It won't be cheap taming those temperatures.

AL will be nice for benchmarkers since that single thread is really nice for scores, but that's about it imo. All other use-cases, Zen3D is a better overall option.

Intel always like that. It gives us reason for us crazy watercoolers to exist. Why else do you need caselabs sma8a cases with multiple 560mm rads and external radiator setups.

 

Just look at this VRM . As far as I can see there is no connector for iGpu / So all phases feed the processor Cores.

Does everyone already have a chiller?

 

Apex has no igpu for even better performance.
Apex ♡

 

Will there be an all little core version?

 

There are kf models
12900k. - 8 golden cove plus 8 gracemont
12700k - 8 golden cove plus 4 gracemont
12600k - 6 golden plus 4 gracemont
12400 - 6 golden
Under is i don’t remember. Probably some in i3 lineup i assume

 

Apex getting more and more unnecessary shields every revision lol.

 

Only thing missing from Apex is thunderbolt on the i/o panel. Having to use a pcie card for thunderbolt is a bit inconvenient.

 

??? how did u see that.,

 

I am looking forward to it....the packaging is beautiful !
