  1. Aand thats all it has going on for it.

    Cant believe Intel and AMD handshook a sidegrade product launch. We desperately need more CPU competitors in the Consumer space.

  2. They say the same every year. They still have 25+ watt TPD and sound like industrial vacuum cleaners.

    No actual testing tho. The new retention mechanism seems interesting? Running cool and lower power is nice, I heard +15% in multithreading which is cool for some workloads. Probably not for gaming.

    Shows some of the architecture limits they are hitting IMHO excited to see how they get past it.

  4. And yet TDP is exactly the same. If they run cooler and with less power, why isn’t TDP lower. I seriously doubt their claims until third party benchmarks come out.

    What the title is missing: “…but will not offer any performance improvements compared to previous gen”

  6. Does anyone buy Intel cpu anymore for home computers? Pc build subs are all over AMD these days.

  7. Sure now show me multiple tests and benchmarks from outside the company. Untill then ill run with my AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU.

  8. I saw an article crying that the new 285 is 3 fps slower than the i9 egg fryer. These performance geeks…

  9. Meanwhile what’s really happening is rebranding old chips as new, intel can suck a fat one.

    Kinda feels like this is burying the lede.

    Intel was forced to go to a competitor to make it’s next gen product. And even with that they are… losing some performance over last gen? While touting better efficiency (thanks to it’s competitors process) and they are priced like a new generation?

    This is like an all time top 5 fail

  11. Cut half the threads, it certainly will run cooler. Lucky for Intel, most games don’t use more than about 4 threads, so it’ll fit on the P-cores.
