    Honestly nailed 6.1 on 4 cores with 13900ks don’t think I’ll need another replica of cpu

    Goodness. Soo get this: good 13900K CPUs get up binned to 13900KS CPUs, the best of which have recently turned into 14900K CPUs, making the latest flagship an up-bin of an up-bin. And all you’re paying for with each up-bin is 100-200MHz at similar voltages, no guarantee of IMC which is still all over the place and for all you know, an i5 may run DDR5 better than your up-binned up-bin. And now you’re telling me there’s even more up-binning to the 14900KS?? Making this, what? An up-bin, of an up-bin, of an up-bin, of an up-bin?? Amazing!!

      And then now they’ll claim “and we kept the same socket for the 13th and 14th gen” when it’s really the same generation.

      You’re not wrong, but there is a significant price consideration. The 14900K is binned about the same as the 13900KS (6 GHz VID < 1.5v), but costs at least $100 less. Some people claim the IMC is better on the 13900KS, but don’t think that can be answered at the moment.

      Yes Gelsinger personally went to the process lab and licked these 14900ks before telling them to pack it up.

      It’s got the best up-bin.

    It’s amazing to see how powerful a Jay Z endorsement is for Intel. All my gaming buddies ridiculed me for building a 13900k and now that Jay is switching to Intel, they wanna know “How’s that Intel working and does it BSOD”? 😮‍💨

      Yes, you stick to your overpriced marketing chip which cripples itself under gaming while running hotter at a lower power draw…

        overpriced

        Ye, flagship CPUs are always over priced

        marketing chip

        How? Intel is the one with the mindshare with non-tech inclined people. The amount of mindshare they have for their poor record over the past couple years in client is really impressive.

        which cripples itself under gaming

        3D cache with Zen 4 is just way more impressive than the bloated, power hungry RPC core. And more performant to boot.

        while running hotter at a lower power draw…

        No one cares about that lmao

        Also sorry you had to get a 3435x. That mesh must suck lol
