10900k review leaked. Good news for team blue?

Looks to be that way. With new AMD processors around the corner Intel could use a win and competition is good for all. Here is the link: https://www.techpowerup.com/267287/...eview-leaked-suggests-intel-option-formidable

Really looks like more of the same. Slower in multithreaded apps, slightly faster in gaming. If the price is good this could be a nice alternative to the $399 3900x

25% more power, no more performance, and a $80-ish more dollars. Kind of hard to spin that as a win. The only reason I can see for anyone to buy a 10th gen processor is to buy into the platform before Rocket Lake comes out.

BUT YOU GET 5 MOAR FPS!!!1

Do we know for sure Intel will not try to compete with price reductions?

Yeah, this is a big fat no from me. Zen 3 is a lot more exciting (should exceed the new Intel crap in per-core performance, while maintaining the current prices).

It should be almost the same sized chip as Zen 2 - no increase in L3 cache size expected (so really cheap to build).

 

[polonyc2]

Intel could make these even better by starting off with lower pricing...

after being on top of the mountain for so long it's weird to see things like "Intel has a fighting chance against the Ryzen 9 3900X"

There are absolutely no surprises here. I don't need that kind of core count, so I am more interested in Hyperthreading now being standard across the line, thus making them much more price competitive with comparable AMD parts.

I wonder if there will be AMD price cuts to stick it to Intel more.

That is all I am hoping for when I see stuff like this, two billion dollar companies undercutting each other. My only dog in this fight is me. Also noone cares about pwer consumption. *DUCKS*

So after looking at this review a while ago https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-9-3900x/16.html. This generation seems to be unimpressive. It barely beats the 3900X when the previous generation beats it just as well and at a lower power consumption. I think I'll stick with my 8700K.

 

[cybereality]

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good with my 8700K. I think I'm done with constant upgrades for no reason, CPU gaming performance has leveled off in the past few years.

Excited? No. Could be interested in getting one, but I'd strongly prefer a way to test a couple of specific workloads first. Also, I dislike they way they are apparently harvesting dies; I wish I could get the i5 and have it clock as fast as the i9; I don't need 20 threads.
