Intel Brand Tie-ins: New Avengers Packaging Gives You a New Box To Play With

Can't wait for my next Ryzen to come with Judge Dredd on the box.

Also wish they had some ryzen 4000 nuc's but what ever my 9850h nuc will have to do.

They exist but last generation and not the new ones. It'll be a while. I think under normal circumstances we'd see them faster but given that many are still clamoring for a computer because of WFH or digital instruction, hobbyists such as ourselves are screwed.

lulz they exist but dont exist (since i said 4000 series not 3000 series) i guess it doesnt matter since wasnt planning on making the box do anything that really will tax it to much. keep waiting and waiting

I just said that. But I got the gist of your post regardless. I was really shocked to see "tier A" PSUs on sale this week from first party vendors at pre pandemic pricing and name brand webcams. Had to pinch my thigh thinking it was a dream.

if someone collects it, it is a collectors item. of course it will be and is!

Just because someone collects it doesn't make it collectable. Intel mass produced these. They'd have to be a limited quantity to become collectable. That's not something that companies like Intel would do. They'd lose money.

Loads of people purchase intel who want things to just work right the first time and not have to wait for updates for their pc to function with out flaws.

These loads of people were living la vida loca when the crapshows, also known as X79 and X99 platforms launched. Wanna spread some more Apple-like elitism and stability myths around? Because that's all your statement is, a myth.
If you don't believe me, feel free to educate yourself.

X58 was very rocky as well. Ram slots not working etc...

Speaking of Apple does it run on amd with out modifying it?

You're wandering into whataboutism here. You claimed people choose Intel because it's a one and done deal, but those of us who've been using Intel products for the majority of our lives know this to be not true. It's a lot easier these days between CPU makers and AIBs for tight or tighter integration, but a lot of Intel platforms/sockets have launched with issues. You bring up AMD as a counterexample when it was never implied by the individuals quoting you that AMD is or is vastly superior to Intel when it comes to system stability after a launch.

I was involved in the Hackintosh scene from 2009 to 2016. Even if you had the perfect set of parts, you still had stability issues in the beginning and a lot of software kinks to work out. And those who work or worked with Macs professionally and not piddle around like average people, will tell you Macs have always had shortcomings, including stability. The last three major macOS releases I can recall were a -Redacted- show a year into their gold release. Catalina is still a pile of -Redacted- now.

That's not how collecting works brother. Take my comics collection; the most valuable comics are rare, but the vast majority of my collection are far from it. Hard to find a comic (not just Marvel) buff without death of superman black edition, but they printed millions of those.

And again, I would see the cool artwork on the CPU, because I would put them in a display case on the wall when I was done with them. Weird? I'll take that, it's just how I roll.

And to whom it may concern: Probably no one. I am not worried about Intel long term. It is like the rebels blowing up the death star. They are far from out of the fight.

And for those of us not acquainted with Star Wars Saga...


Not a comic books guy myself, is there a pic of this collection? I always wanted to collect mint condition automotive magazines from back back back in the day until the 1980s and frame them. That and original movie posters.

Most are in plastic storage bins, in their protective sleeves and backings in a cool, dark, closet. I have not paid to get anything graded, as I am not interested in selling any year soon. I have maybe 8 worth the fees involved. The rest are cool, especially to me, but nothing very rare. If you like, I will post a pic of some of my favorites. I did video of them for insurance years back, but no pics. My best comic, which was bought at a 7-11 when I think they were really only open 7am to 11pm where I live, is Incredible Hulk 181, the first full appearance of Wolverine. It has the trading stamp on it, which I read somewhere is a good thing, since so many cut them out to redeem. I think about the only comic I have bought this century was the one Superman where he got new powers and had no cape. It was an impulse buy while shopping at Target back in the day. Story line was trash. Stopped collecting in the 90's.

If you can think of an actual counter-argument to my post, I'll be happy to engage.

I'm not saying that you don't "collect" them. Anyone can buy a product. It's just not collectable in the sense that it will ever be worth any money. It will only depreciate. It will never be any value to a collector because of the mass production. There'd have to be limited quantities like 1/500. Intel would lose money on them if they only made a few, IMO.

if someone collects it, it is a collectors item. of course it will be and is!~.

Rocket Lake-S may wind up being an interesting collector's item somewhat in the same vein as a Voodoo5-6000 card (though Voodoo5-6000 is/would be quite a bit more rare). It'll be the last 14nm desktop CPU from Intel - we hope! It may also be the only backport ever to be released by Intel. They've never done it before.

What's sad is that if you want to collect one of these for your shelf, you get a box with superheroes on it instead of something reminiscent of the era of computing we're in now. For contrast:

no pop-culture crap on that box. It's just a C64, which itself is iconic of its era. Having a clean, classy-looking RKL-S box to serve as a symbol of late-era Intel 14nm would be infinitely preferable to Iron Man or Cap. For collector's value, you're better off with a 9900k or 10900k box. And 10900ks are not that common, either.

Yeah I've heard that one before...

Cheap bastards aren't even including a copy of the game. Seems like a no brainer if you are going to do something like this.

That was a retail company that bundled that, Not Intel....

... in conjunction with a marketing bundle with Intel. You think that individual retail stores are footing the bills for the game bundles / tie-ins?

Hmm, that was fairly recent too. And with that stock buyback, you know the money hasn't dried up yet.
