Leo asks ‘What is Intel worried about?’

Carl Muller October 11, 2018 Channel, CPU, Featured Tech Reviews

Leo has a very important question to ask everyone today. ‘What is Intel worried about?.'

Leos Notes:

Core i9-9900K – the World’s Best Gaming Processor?
Intel 9th Gen. launch in NYC

Benchmarking report from Principled Technologies has caused a furore HERE

They used Noctua coolers on AMD Threadripper and Intel CPUs but AMD Wraith Prism on 2700X
They used 64GB of DDR4 RAM
Biggest issue was setting AMD Ryzen Master to Game Mode which disables half the cores of 2700X making it a quad core CPU

‘Principled Technologies Benchmark Disclosure: Intel is a sponsor and member of the BenchmarkXPRT Development Community. Principled Technologies is the publisher of the XPRT family of benchmarks.’
28-core Xeon W-3175X up to 4.3GHz

Asus ROG Dominus and Gigabyte SKL-SP 1S motherboards

Desktop parts
i9-9990K £600
i7-9700K £500
i5-9600K £350

Z390 chipset and motherboards
Soldered TIM or STIM
What are the all-core Turbo speeds?
95W TDP for all K desktop parts is just daft

Best advice is to ignore benchmarking figures from manufacturers!
