I look forward to watching a Gamers Nexus review of this. I hope it’s as good as they say. 😀
Finally, now I can afford the 5800x3D.
I’m an antifan of Apple but the M4 Max is supposed to be faster than any x86 desktop CPU, and use a lot less power. That’s per geekbench 6. I’d be interested in seeing other measurements.
what game can’t be ran by a 5800x3D ? if anything I feel like graphic cards are the biggest bottle neck right now
Simulators and games with mods can push the cpu. But yeah. Mostly gpu limited.
Escape from Tarkov. If you want 120+ fps on streets you pretty much need a 7800x3d.
5800X3D is my CPU for the next 3-5 years probs. Maybe even longer, it’s so damn good.
While the 9000 series looks decent, I honestly think Intel has a really interesting platform to build off of with the core ultra chips. It feels like Intel course correcting with poor decisions made for the 13th and 14th gen chips. Wendel from Level1 techs made a really good video about the good things Intel put into the chips while also highlighting some of the bad things, things like a built-in NPU and how they’re going to use that to pull in profiles for applications and games with ML, or the fact that performance variance occurs between chipset makers more often with the core ultra. It’s basically a step forwards in tech but a step backwards in price/performance.
Work at a tech store; the technicians that build the PCs for customers recently tried building with the new Core Ultra 7 256K. Two processors were dead or unstable right out of thr box. Tried with known good RAM, two different cpus on two different motherboards. It seems that Intel hasn’t really fixed their stability issue, which should be their first concern.
Well I didn’t say they were perfect.
You guys are actually buying these processors? I’m still running a 4770 and a 1060.
Now that is a big boost
