    Overclocking it to max fixed boost? I suppose someone could try, and I would expect great results out of a 9850X3D given it's on TSMC's best process. Mine holds 5.5 or 5.6GHz nearly constantly while in games on all 8 cores, and does it drawing 100W. Big improvement over my old 11900K to say the...

    Following up on this.. I just built / rebuilt a new system... 2026 and I went with 8 cores. I got the 9850X3D to replace my 11900K. Just crossed my mind as I've been setting things up for this machine that in a way, 8 cores is the new 6 core! Most of my usage is in e-sports titles where the X3D...

    I haven't looked into it recently (or ever) as far as 4 vs 6 vs 8 core thermals, but I believe you given what I saw out of the 7700K. I wouldn't consider buying on that basis today, enough time has passed that I think it's a bit of a moot point. But back in these older generations it was worth...

    That's exactly how I always viewed the 8700K. Some would say 6C/12T isn't enough, nah. It's like my 11900K, some would say if I don't have a 7900X3D I have trash for gaming. Working well over here. I wouldn't trade it. Not for anything that wasn't free in exchange at least. Moving to a proper...

    I haven't read it in years, but I think he said the problems started really showing up as the core count got to 10. It just wasn't going to work going forward at least. The 8700K is the CPU I wish I would have jumped on at the time. I regretted not getting that one. I'd still be running it...

    If I had a crystal ball I would have waited for 12th gen which I view as much lower stature but the closest thing Intel has had to a modern era Sandy Bridge. I was having a lot of issues with my 5900X at the time and held out for Intel to launch 11th gen for the reasons you stated. Intel's...

    I hate to necro this but I just read these two pages and what you said is something I've always struggled with. For example, I rebuilt my system when Intel 11th gen came out, and everyone told me I bought the worst Intel generation of all time. I'm still using it, bought it in May of 2021. I...
