AM5 is still whack and 12th Gen Intel from 2022 will run DDR5 and give you PCIe 5.0 right now. The i5-12600k sips juice and runs cool and quiet. Put it on $100 b760 motherboard, you don't even need z790

i had the 13700k and the 9800x3d absolutely obliterates it. the difference was comparable to moving up a generation of GPU in some games. like 20-30%.

Yeah for 400% the price you can get 290fps instead of 240fps in Doom: Eternal. Anyway I said 12th Gen, not 13th and 14th which had to be gimped with updated firmware

nobody makes you install the firmware and I didn't. 13th is faster than 12th, that's just a fact

If you didn't update your BIOS you got oxidation. 13th gen is defective

ljl the 9800x3d barely edges the 12900k. Like BARELY:

12th Gen Intel will never get old

that metric is just a bunch of random user benchmarks with no control for GPU or whether the game is CPU limited or not. of course it's going to compress the performance because a lot of games will perform similarly on any modern CPU.

I got to compare the 9800x3d and 13700k directly on the same games, using the same high-end card (a 4090 when I did the build), and the 9800x3d simply smokes every intel chip. it was a much bigger upgrade than I expected. the game I was playing the most at the time was FF:Rebirth, and it was a bad experience on the intel chip (horrendous stuttering) but ran amazingly on the 9800x3d.

even on games that only have say...10% difference, it subjectively feels like more than that due to the added consistency. having a beast CPU/memory is often pulling up your minimum frames a lot.

The 13th gens were broke. You either ran the factory bios and got lockups or you updated the bios and got gimped performance. 12th Gen ftw
