Nice to see someone not saying gaming is a niche scenario, as is so common in this thread.I like it. Bought it for its superior gaming performance. That's the primary purpose of my home PC.

I have not seen anyone say gaming is a niche scenario. But gaming at the top 0.1% of FPS for a huge cost is what I have seen as being called niche. But if you can afford it, why not ? Who else here has 5 EPYC systems ? Nobody that I have seen. But I do, because I can afford it.Nice to see someone not saying gaming is a niche scenario, as is so common in this thread.
You're talking to someone who bought Kaby Lake X for fun. AdamK47 is the definition of the niche enthusiast.Nice to see someone not saying gaming is a niche scenario, as is so common in this thread.

Please do. The comet result looks very interesting though, way lower than I've seen it elsewhere. Is it 10900k PL1?
The 10850K, btw, I suspect is just chips binned as 10900 but rebranded to include unlocking. OEM desktop sales have been completely destroyed by the virus. I doubt there are actually that many 10900 OEM desktops out there but enough to get them to unload the chips on DIY, and they get more $$$ than just cutting to 10700K.

According to Geekbench, yes. They're both Family 6, Model 165, Stepping 5, which would be the Q0 stepping.Is it the same die as the 10900k?

Haha, the Avengers themed Comet Lake rumor was true.
Yea, almost as compelling as "Ruby" from AMD a few years ago.Wow way to be cutting-edge Intel.

Well, thats odd, as the biggest lead I have seen in ANY game is like 10%. Why don't you tell us what game .Went from a 3900x to a 10700 for the gaming increase. The improvement in the game I play most is staggering.
