You’re more optimistic than I am.
Considering 13900K is behind even the 7900X3D, what kind of rabbit is Intel gonna pull out of their hat to manage 23% higher performance in Star Citizen?
Official Intel Slides Show Core i9-14900K CPU Up To 23% Faster Than AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D In Gaming
A leaked Intel slide has compared the gaming performance of the flagship Core i9-14900K with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU.wccftech.com
we already have a very early LNL sample clocking at 4GHz and that's a 17W part. I doubt we will get this much of a clock regression with ARL-S.
Honestly, I wonder if PTL is going to be the arch that introduces 3D stacked (or foveros base tile) cache. Intel claims Foveros Direct would be ready in 2024, so it wouldn't be too surprising to see it being used in client parts a year later. Intel has already done L4 caches in mobile parts before, and LNL already appears to have a SLC cache, so seeing something similar in PTL wouldn't be too surprising. Also, considering that PTL doesn't look to be bringing a new CPU core arch, it wouldn't be surprising to see changes in packaging/node use/ or maybe the GPU tile as well.
Even MLID mentioned that the CPU tiles of ARL, LNL & ARL+ are gonna be on TSMC N3B. It sounds a bit unlikely though. But whats surprising is that many have overlooked a very important point that Pat mentioned a few years back when MTL's CPU tile was under development.
I think you misread the article. It's +23% ahead in Starfield - not Star Citizen.
I hope this is what I think it is and you are OK.
Doh!
Posting on my phone when falling asleep. Sorry for the distraction.
One would hope so, but I highly, highly doubt it. I doubt they make a major change like that when they are already making massive core changes.
Yes, these 14900K claims are kind of ridiculous when we know it's really a 13900KS, which has been out for nearly a year. Nothing new here with the 14900K.
Looks more like a purposeful leak from the marketing division. Technically speaking, RPL-R shouldn't even exist in this day and age. A monolithic power hungry die on an ageing node.
We already have the 13900KS gaming performance:
Without a serious performance per watt improvement it isn't going to move the needle for the DIY community. A margin of error percentage level of gaming advantage isn't going to do anything for sales to our crowd either. Of course there is the point that unless things change, it is really no big deal how 14th gen desktop performs. The desktop market is in a historic slump. OEMs love the new shiny to help sell their stuff, so that's its best chance to have any impact.
It’s not a 13900KS. It’s a 13900K with +200mhz clocks at iso power.

You can use different games to skew results in either way. 3Dcenter meta review puts the AMD at like <3% faster than Intel's flagship IIRC. If AMD fans want to parade that around as a win, they can lol
Don't think most people care about that tbh, esp if prices are alright. Though that's my "US-based" perspective, I think electricity elsewhere is way more expensive
yea, not to mention that if one is gaming with a high end rig they are probably using a 300 to 400 watt gpu. I dont see the expense of the additional power usage as a big deal, except is places with unusually high electricity costs. The bigger problem is cooling it and the need for a beefy power supply and motherboard.
Gamers generally prefer the top-end SKUs. Or the best they can afford. Power consumption isn't usually the priority. It's all about bragging rights. Measuring contest it usually is.
True. And the leaked Intel's roadmap doesn't feel very inspiring either. 😢
