    There are lots of companies switching to Windows from Macs. Mine included. There are a lot of areas where Windows still has a large advantage.

    Lion Cove on 18A is slated for Diamond Rapids. That is the Gen where I think Intel can catch AMD.

    Am I the only one who wonders how a high end, pre-production motherboard like this ends up on someone's couch laying on a blanket next to a 2010 Macbook Pro 13" running Windows?

    2.5MB per core is definitely more realistic than 5MB per core. (I think you meant 2S 128 core system)

    Guess its that time now to just wait for EMR and hope for better efficiency.

    Holy crap! If that is indeed accurate then I am happy I decided against a SPR build. Intel still has work to do.

    At what frequency? 5.3, 5.4? And a 12900K runs at what, 17W-19W idle? What you posted does not conclude that a single core is using 41W by itself at 5.0Ghz.

    You may be correct, I don't know for certain. I would have hoped they would, but it is Intel we are talking about. What was an Alder Lake 12700k (minus E-cores) pulling at 5.0Ghz? Edit: I am seeing numbers online in the 270-280W range for 5.0Ghz with E-cores active). That's a fairly big...

    Based on what calculation? A 13700k pulls in ~200 watts at 5.0Ghz on Prime95 small (with E-cores active @ 4.0Ghz). For argument sake, lets say it pulls 200W with the E-cores off. They are on the same process node as SPR and the P-cores are essentially the same cores (minus AVX512). To me...

    No, they did not. We had X299, X99, etc. for all that. But you are right, Intel is targeting people with too much money. I was waiting for Fish Hawk myself (was on X299), but when they announced the pricing, I went with a 13700k instead. I can't justify ~$2500 for just a motherboard and 16...

    Honestly, I would not call these HEDT. They are clearly in the Workstation realm (Xeon and TR Pro). In my opinion, HEDT was sort of a middle ground between the consumer lines and workstation lines. Give us an i9 (all big cores), without ECC RAM and able to work on a motherboard that does not...

    Yea, for a 56 core CPU. A 24 core variant is not pulling 1000w.

    Source? There is no way a 24 core CPU is pulling 1000 watts.

    No, I just sold it a few weeks back when I got my 13700KF.
