10900K...Purchase or skip? :-/
I don't feel much impressed. Adding two more cores and four more threads doesn't really boost performance noticeably, especially with that constant stream of "Up to" Marketing. I was counting on this to give the 3900x genuine competition, but instead we ended up with another power-hungry chip built on old technology. Just my take. If anyone has better ideas, at least let me know...
They weren't released until May 20, 2020...so...not sure what to think
It's a more affordable option compared to the 9900K, though it seems unlikely anyone would have purchased the 9900K in the first place. Considering the powerful cooler you'll need, this new model doesn't seem like a good choice. I'm looking forward to seeing independent benchmarks and power consumption data. A 300W under load result wouldn't be unexpected.
I understand, but I probably wouldn’t be interested even if I could. I’m looking for genuine rivalry. Intel should push harder.
Currently, the main challenge revolves around AMD struggling to keep up. According to reports, Zen 3’s launch in September should offer significant improvements over Zen 2, such as faster clock speeds and improved performance per instruction, even though the number of cores won’t change.
TDP stands at 125W, and there was a discussion about it yesterday. Meanwhile, the 9900K’s “95W” likely translates to around 175W, which suggests this value should fall closer to 225W.
