Well im sticking to air cooling so i doubt the temps and power consumption will be good, so to me this aint any answer to what amd have atm

If Intel thinks high clocks are the key to performance , they are already too far gone ....
Nekrosleezer
I was just thinking the same haha.

More Intel FUD.

You are not prepared!

Higher clocks is one of the available paths to increase performance and thereĀ“s nothing wrong with that as long as power efficiency is maintained and thatĀ“s the problem.
The optimal clocks for IntelĀ“s 14nm process, regarding performance and efficiency, seems to be around 4.5Ghz. So reaching 5.5Ghz is going to require lots of pwer and efficiency is probably going to be abysmal...
And letĀ“s not forget that AMD and Nvidia are also pushing clocks higher and higher to improve performance.

But this is not "progress" , it's stagnation at best. They need new arch and process , we need competition because AMD is starting to become new intel ( or already is looking at prices ).

Yep, not difficult on the 10900k with a good unit and cooling.
Are u purchasing the peltier from EK/Intel???
Kaarme
Seeing how they developed that peltier element based cooling system, efficiency is not a current priority for Intel. They fired Ms Efficiency. She will only be rehired once Intel has a new architecture ready.

Funny that since the Ryzen 5xxx series landed there has been alot of "leaks" from Intel.

I will probably buy it, cause it will be the fastest chip for gaming, regardless of how it achieves it... haters gonna hate.
Valken
Terrible math... 10% higher clock speed to catch up means Intel is lagging in terms of IPC @ ~ 10%.
Will AMD counter with XT variants?!

Was wondering what the answer would be to the beating they been taking.
it already uses loads of power they cant get around that.

To upgrade my 6c/12t i want at least 12cores. But by the time they release their ship, i might have jumped to 5900X already.

You don't need a Tardis. Intel has barely done anything to change RL, so you can pretty easily predict what will happen.
At least it supports PCIe 4.0, so that's nice.

Its nice to see Intel going backwards with cores and threads. š

Maybe at 720p with low detail settings.

If for gaming, then it doesn't really make sense to have more cores than the consoles, as that's the amount of cores games are optimized for... aka it's better to have 8 super fast cores, than 12 semi fast ones, as 8 cores is what the new xbox series x and playstation 5 have š
Dragam1337
Honestly though, it doesn't matter for gaming... hence why the 5600x does about as well for gaming as the 5950x - it's all about the single thread performance, and memory latency.
