lmao I get better temps (at 5.0/4.8GHz) for prime95 stresstesting with AVX on my delidded 8700K from 2017.
Yeah yeah AVX 512 I guess, yet, holy shit Intel, this is pathetic.
It's hard to understand how these products can get a "Recommended" stamp. I know it's mostly symbolic and out of politeness, but the situations when one person should buy Intel are close to null in 2021, sorry.
Last thing, I don't get the people that complain the Ryzen's are not in stock. I can constantly find them in Romania, and the prices, while high, are not that bad.
294EU for both CPUs here. Both in stock. No issues.

Looks like i pushed my 4770K upgrade further, to Alder Lake.
cucaulay malkin
might as well wait for zen 4
kapu
That i wonder. I think we will see Alder first. It might be game changer for Intel
cucaulay malkin
not for what I want from it
kapu
It would be good for market, best competition we ever had. With normal availability it is better wish for Intel success. Unless amd will continue intel path. Stagnation with high prices
cucaulay malkin
they'll continue to overprice new stuff,especially with lower nodes,memory and pci-e
you've seen what amd did with r5000,and what intel did with rkl.expect more.
if they are both good they will both sell in volumes,at big premiums.what has rdna2 competition brought ? first $1K amd gaming card ever.mid range at $500.
you know what they say
kurwa kurwie łba nie urwie.
TheDeeGee
No thanks, i had my experience with a 5800X, no more AMD for me.
kapu
Your experience surley represents anything 😀 Please bro 🙂
It does not look well but at least we got bigest progress in CPU market ever, there is much more choice than ever was.
kurwa kurwie łba nie urwie -, No nie, jak juz ludzie przyzwyczaili, to nie sądze ze intel bedzie znacząco podcinal AMD jeżeli beda miec podobny produkt , jak Alder lake okaze sie hitem to pewnie dowala wieksza cene niz AMD za Zen3 sobie liczy teraz.

shhh... you might get firebombed. these guys are dead serious 😀
My experience with AMD cpus, Durons, Athlons, Palomino, Barton, was disastrous on too many fronts. So when I finally switched to Core 2 Duo, it felt like finally having a proper platform.
Maybe it was me, maybe chipsets, maybe mobo, maybe RAID, maybe Windows (hmm yeah Linux was nearly indestructible) maybe the constellation of stars was not right. Like I managed to convert Athlon 850 into Duron. And when my Barton PC finally became stable, the mobo died on me. Think I lost 2 mobos during sleep mode. Sleep was like bleeding edge back then...

Chipsets were the big problem with AMD,
SiS were all shit with broken integrated gpu's
VIA couldn't make a AGP 8x controller that worked properly (across 4 chipsets (400, 400a, 600, 800) and i think it even had a problem with the AGP voltage at one point.
nforce 1 wasn't all that great, nforce 2 then ranged from great to mediocre because of component quality issues vendor to vendor (Asus had a great board but fucked it up using bad caps that burst/leaked), gigabyte had decent to average stuff but opted for decent caps),
and then whether certain CPU features were present and enabled were left up to those vendors (many boards didn't have Stop Grant, Halt or Bus Disconnect so your cpu was always running hot) then there was pci latency deviations from board to board because of some bords being cheaper and using longer trace routing than others (instead of more pcb layers).

mu duron,athlon,athlon xp were pretty trouble free iirc

At the price the 11600 goes ... In my eyes making the 10700 a default no brainer choice ! Is it just me ?
MerolaC
What's the problem/s you had with it?
I am rocking one and so far has been the best system I've ever had.
Have it for a month or so.
TheDeeGee
Bit of a bummer there won't be a 11600F.
Yeah, seems the 10700 still gets recommended a lot.
TheDeeGee
I just had really poor luck with my hardware in general, something i never experienced before.
The 5800X was DOA with WHEA crashes, USB cutting out, HyperX memory with a zillion errors and on top of that i bought an Asus motherboard. I send everything back and got it all refunded thankfully.
In the end i would have probably returned it anyways, as i didn't like the CPU behaviour (lots of spiking) and ran too hot for my liking.
On the Asus board the Fan Ramp Up/Down delay didn't work resulting in a noisy system. I did some research and found out Asus hasn't bothered to fix it on various boards for many months. For that reason i will stick with Gigabyte, i heard they're the best for brand for AMD as well in terms of support.
If i would get AMD again i will probably just stick with a 6 Core, same would go for Intel. Plenty enough for gaming and i don't do workload stuff anyways. That way i keep a silent system as i'm sticking to Air Cooling.
Edit:
(Thinking about it, perhaps the CPU was fine, but the Asus board may have pushed too much voltage? I saw it going little over 1.5 volts at times, on stock factory default settings. I read it's dangerous to manually set Ryzen voltage as well, as it doesn't work the same an Intel CPU.)
MerolaC
Damn, man, drink some holy water. That's too much unlucky stuff to happen with just one build.
Most likely the issue was the motherboard, including the memory errors.
Though, WEA errors mostly when you run out of voltage to a core, not with an overvolt, AFAIK.
I am on a ROG STRIX B550-F and I didn't have such problem with voltages (Peak I saw 1.48v which is fine for the CPU), now I am running it at 4.6GHz (ClockTuner tune) at 1.35v nor USB dropouts (they released a BIOS for that anyway.) And the delay for fans is working just fine...
Temp are under control at 75c max under an stress test of CineBench (Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240mm AIO)
TheDeeGee
Mine was the ROG Strix B550-E Gaming.
Even at 25 seconds the fan just ramped up instantly, very annoying.
TheDeeGee
It's nice to see there is no need for a K model anymore.

there still is a difference.
that said,even the previous gen 10400 was a very,very capable cpu.you'd have no problems using it with a high end card.
11400 is better,but even the smallest,locked rocket lake sku is guzzling as much power as 5800x in gaming.100w is a lot for this.my 10500 used to hit 77w max with power limits disabled and vcssa/vccio set way above default for ram overclocking.this little rkl can hit +100w in games.It's a steal for 170eur but good grief,even 10700 sips way less power in games.
still,at 165eur vs 330eur,it smashes 5600x in value.
