Is there any plan to push DDR5 speeds over 10K? Like at least 11,000 MT/s? Preferably in 64 or 96GB configurations that don't cost $1000? Only way I can see this platform being slightly interesting.
I assume Nova Lake will support DDR6, which may make it a usable gaming platform if reported...
The AIDA64 latency doesn’t really explain why Arrow Lake is so bad at gaming, because they barely get any gaming improvement going from 90ns to 60ns or even sub-60 after tuning. A 60ns Raptor Lake build is still a good 20%+ faster than a 60ns 285K build in CPU-bound gaming situations. It’s...
I assume its out of habit maybe now that the P and E cores have been disaggregated it does seem weird, but on the other hand, the P-core clocks are still linked, and they have foreground apps and games set up to populate on the P-cores in a certain way, so maybe they just don't want to mess with...
I can't imagine NVL latency is going to be any good with a dual CCD problems...if anything I imagine it's going to be as bad for gaming as Arrow Lake and Raptor Lake remains the gaming champ for Intel well into 2027-2028. 52 cores screams going all-in on all-core synthetic benchmarks and losing...
Why specifically 12900K and 13900K? Do you already have these CPUs? If so update the BIOS, do a -75mv to -100mv undervolt (or further if your chip can handle it) and the 13900K should be perfectly fine. At Intel defaults the PL1 is 125W for Raptor Lake, so for gaming and sustained productivity...
I’m a bit skeptical of this, the engine that uses the most threads that I’m aware of (and is actually CPU heavy) is the newest iteration of Frostbite that uses 14 threads with BF2042. Cyberpunk’s Red engine uses up to 12. Doom’s engine supposedly can break up the workload into 16 but this isn’t...
Kinda scary to think the earliest Intel might release a better product is in 2027 with Nova Lake. If they fail again to surpass Raptor Lake for whatever reason (poor clocks, poor latency) and just go the route of a million cores to win multithread, even the most fervent holdouts are just going...
The high core count is probably a sign Intel is throwing in the towel to actually competing with AMD in IPC during Nova Lake's reign. You don't have to be that efficient either at the higher end of the v/f curve if you have too many cores, since they will all be running at lower clocks. They can...
Boosting clocks is only going to help Cinememe benchmarks, it won't do much for gaming since the memory latency is so high. They need DDR5-12000 before the arch is even competitive with Raptor Lake...
The problem is two-fold, high default voltages due to poor VID table binning by Intel, leading to accelerated degradation, and also older BIOS's had voltage spikes above 1.55V that was accelerating electromigration even faster.
The new BIOSs only fix the latter, which is the 1.55V+ voltage...
~2% boost is what you would expect by increasing D2D and NGU. Too bad Intel doesn't have the balls to increase Ring speeds too and cover it under warranty.
Funny enough Intel is doing this again with Arrow Lake updates, they are now covering up to 8000 MT/s XMP speeds along with one-button overclocking interconnect speeds, when they don't even provide warranty for XMP on other platforms lol.
