We? Oh that's just me and bunch of my friends. We all work in the industry and usually exchange samples and information on hardwares.

Yes. Z board with the extra 2 bin boost enabled will make it 4.8GHz.

I know... But still there is no point to buy a 10700K just for the review. I have way too many CPUs lying around.

Yes you can do it. I just haven't got enough time to play with it. Was trying to post it before the embargo. I will have updates on this later.

It is because I don't have a 10700K...

We just published the review for the 11700K. And here comes it’s bigger brother 11900k. Unlike the previous generations, the i9 flagship 11900K has exactly the same spec as the 11700K. Actually it even has a slightly lower base clock, 3.5GHz compares to 3.6GHz of the 11700K. However what...

Hello everyone and welcome to another review. Today we are taking a look at the Asus TUF 6700XT. Yeah I know I promised to publish the i9 11900K review but I would need a little extra time on it as I am overclocking it and comparing it aganist the LTT gold sample 10900K. So today we will do a...

Well things happens. I would end up losing more money if I didn't quit Bitcoin mining back then. So I'm actually kinda glad.

That is true. B560 motherboard prices are very reasonable to my surprise. the non K 10700 is with MCE enabled but without the extra Turbo bin enabled. I actually don't have that CPU anymore so I won't be able to retest it...

It's really lucky to have a local Microcenter isn't it lol

Just to clarify this. I am not using the same cooler for 5800X. I can't find my AM4 bracket for Corsair H150pro. So it is not boosting to the frequency it's supposed to. Will fix that in the 11900K review. Sorry everyone. Didn't mean to be biased

The setup is the same as intel platform. Only difference is motherboard. I’m using a TUF X570 plus. Don’t have any X570 review samples...

Yes PBO is set to Enable. And MCE doesn’t really matter for K processors anyways.

I totally agree with you on that. But most of the times people upgrade simply because it’s nice to have...I mean just like upgrading from 1080ti to a 2080. So cost isn’t the determine factor in many cases. But again, I totally agree with you on this, it’s not a necessary upgrade

The cooling used is Corsair H150pro. Stock thermals are decent. It’s mostly in the 60-70 range with the exception of AVX512 workloads. Full AVX512 can bump up the temp to around 90

Hello everyone and welcome to another review. Today we will be looking at the i7 11700K and i9 11900K. We have covered the basics for Rocket lake and Z590 in the past, and you can check them out in my former reviews. So we finally got the top of the line 11900K, and the second best Rocket lake...

Me too. I have way too many 30 series card sitting here. I just sell it to my friends who needs them. But honestly my 3080 is just sitting in my PC doing nothing...

Later 2021. Right now the initial sampling stage would be July. But it’s intel...so things can change

Hello everyone and welcome to another review. So just like everyone else has been doing, I will do a brief review on the RTX3060. The 60 series has always been a sweet spot card for gamers. The GTX1060 was released 3 years ago in 2018, while the RTX 2060 was released two years ago in 2019...

The final price is actually lower than expected. The i9 is probably stupid at that price point but the i5 and i7 11700K is definitely a very competitive choice. Will post the review for i5 11500 and i7 11700K soon. I will probably combine i7 11700K and i9 11900K in one review as they are...

I actually don't have a monitor with freesync support to test it with. But I will check on Ubuntu support tomorrow. It mostly down to driver support and I believe it will work. Will verify on that.

Make Intel great again? Intel Rocket lake i7-11700 review Hello everyone. After delays, delays and delays I finally got my package from DHL. And with the package, I got a motherboard, which I’m not allowed to show you right now, and two processors, you can take a guess what they are. And, two...

That is because I’m running AVX512 workloads. It goes higher when running non-AVX. I wouldn’t say it’s cooler but it’s definitely not hotter than Comet lake. I would need more time to do the temperature/voltage analysis as I’m busy with benchmarking 11700 and 11900T right now...it’s very time...

Sorry lol. Just trying to show the difference. You won't feel it if I don't put them side to side.

Exactly on point. That is the problem with AMD datacenter accelerators as well. Without hardware encoding, there is a 20% overhead on virtual desktop applications and that's why most people go with Nvidia Tesla for these kind of applications. Yeah Alder lake is pretty good. So might worth the...

Yeah that's also my point. I understand the inflated prices comes with a reason but I just don't need the additional features.

Yeah they are out of stock everywhere now.

Well coz I need to show the difference although they are small. It will be even more ridiculous to show the charts that all looks the same lol

Sorry this thread was removed by the Admin. I have edited it and removed the advertisement for my channel. Today we will be taking a look at the Asus Maximus XIII Hero. It has the newest Z590 chipset that brings some major?? upgrades to the Z490 platform. Let’s start by talking about what’s...

X99 is still solid, plus you have so many options for CPUs. I am using a 2689 v4 in my secondary PC which has 3.1GHz base and 3.8GHz TB. Still works very well for me.

Talking about AMD APUs. I have ES Zen3 APU and it's actually pretty good. It's having the same IPC as the 5000 series Ryzen with the only trade off of L3 cache. I'm not sure about the GPU part as there is no WHQL drivers for it yet. But we are looking at 1050 level of performance right now...

I will publish the review here and the video version on Youtube tomorrow. I will drop a link here. So here is a few reason why it's expensive. First of all is the power delivery, it is using a new TI power stage solution that provides 90A of power per phase, just 14 of these would cost close to...

They trade blows on IPC at the same frequency according to my tests but the difference is within 5%. Plus the frequency for Rocket lake is actually lower than Comet lake. The 11700 for example, I just received the review sample chip and the frequency is 2.5GHz, which is 400MHz lower than 10700...

I am finishing up my review for the Z590 motherboard, and the price increase comes for a reason. The implement of PCI-E 4.0 brings some serious increase in cost, as well as the upgraded VRM. For the Maximus XIII Hero I am working on, just the 16 DrMOS costs close to $100. That costs more than...

Yes. The big.little design and DDR5 support really makes some difference. Z690 also has a few improvements. However after testing the Rocket lake with Z590, it might be a good choice too if you can get them for a reasonable price. Better IPC than Zen3 and AVX512 support.

I can't share too much details about Alder lake right now. But let me tell you, it will be available at Q4 this year and the initial testing result are very promising. As for Rocket Lake, this CPU I'm using in the review is a ES2. The QS version actually performs better and there is a decent IPC...

Yes that's exactly right. And the reason they do not support PCI-E4.0 on this platform is also because of the cost of the motherboard. But to be super honest, I don't think a regular office user will benefit from PCI-E4.0 anyways. So Dell's choice kinda make sense here. Even if you cut open the...

Today we will be looking at something very special. It is a Dell Vostro SFF PC, but it comes with the 11th generation 14nm++++++++++++++++++++++ Rocket lake-S Processor! This is a Engineering Sample system and the actual system is scheduled to release in March 2021. It has a blue motherboard...

I don't even know that...Maybe I would need your help on the Intel VCA2 if possible. I'm having a really hard time making it to work through virtual desktop.
