I havnt seen any videos yet on the reviews and benchmarks on the new intel cpus, what they been saying?

My current cpu is intel and new one next year was going to be AMD anyway since decided few years ago

They're basically very dissapointing for gaming

I mean this is at 1080p like, so more CPU intensive. The gap won't be as big at 4K gaming as this will be more on the GPU. But still, very dissapointing!

What's the point of benchmarking processors on games like this?

I cannot understand how anyone can write an article with a straight face implying that one processor is better than another because it gets 872fps in a game vs. 751fps.

(yes I know it's objectively 'better' because more, but there are a million things you could benchmark with more relevance to actual use)

Yeah I totally get that over 500 FPS is a pointless benchmark, but it still should be better than their previous generation. The benchmarks over 200 are still relevant as 360hz monitors exist. Here’s a better graph then with an average across 14 games

The CPU is being slated for gaming, not general other use. Apparently it's great for content creators

Yeah that graph makes more sense, but I'd still rather see it at 1440p then 1080p.

...and we could obviously argue for even more time about the relevance of a 360Hz monitor.

with me not doing much gaming at all on my new build for next year, what should i be looking out for so i know what type of cpu is suitable for me , should i be looking at certain benchmarks for stats? cos all i seen is gaming benchmarks, i'll be doing photoshop, having multiple tabs open, maybe i'll be doing a dual monitor next year, YouTube editing that sort of thing, i still don't know wether to go for a 6 core or a 8 core AMD cpu, maybe the X3D would be overkill , if i'm not utilising the full potential of the cpu may aswell save some money on the cpu and gfx card?

This i9 v 7800 comparison video shows there isn't much in it at 4k, sometimes the fps was the same.


I've been neglecting running games in 4K, thinking that they would be proper resource killers.

I guess that all depends upon the title in question. I tried Company of Heroes 2 this week, upscaled to 4K and my PC pissed on it - regardless of the carnage, units and busyness on the screen. Could be purely a placebo effect, but it looked like it played even more smoothly at 4K?

I suppose I should always default to that and drop back to 1440 if/when the workload gets a bit too much.

I'm not sure how upscaling works or running a game a lower resolution than the native monitor regarding pixel pitch but Its something I checked when I bought the gigabyte m32cu. Before on my 1080p monitor, you had about 2 pixel worths of 'target' when zooming on someones head, I think now its like 3-1/2 lol. Makes a difference though, more precision and feels smoother.

Yeah there won't be as much in it at higher res as that's more GPU intensive then. However, this video is about the previous generation of Intel not the new one, the 14900k is better than the new ones for gaming.

I bought a Alienware Aurora 7 , I7 8700k , 1080ti, M2 SSD, 16gb DDR4 and a Ausus ROG PG278q 165hz 7 years ago now, it was time for an upgrade. I have been hunting deals since september.
Just upgraded to a 7800x3d, 4080 super with 32gb 6000mhz cl30, MSI X670E Gaming Plus WiFi Samsung 990Pro, pre built by a company called Auspec, arrives tomorrow! I also upgraded the monitor with a Alienware 27 QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW2725DF which arrived 35h after clicking it on Dells website at 11pm.
Monitor and PC was over £600 more 7 years ago!
Can't wait to get gaming!

Getting 290 FPS on Cod in 1440p after a bit of tweeking :)
I need to sort out a better DP cable as this one is 4.5m long. (too long)
