I don’t know that sacrificing so much latency for (admittedly very impressive) bandwidth is worth it, though. A huge amount of cycles are already wasted waiting for memory at normal latencies, making this feel like some sort of inverse 3D V-Cache.
that's a matter of tuning more than anything else, minumum latency for a given kit is usually a fixed value in ns and then the timings just scale with the clock
starfield proves it as wukong take advantage intel latest cpu that peform better since games are over 100gb in storage in m2 drives...another thing...ray tracing games need lot of bandwidth and full core logic to process wider bits than splitting with smt that hurt all Ray tracing performance
Maybe not for games and random access. If you are processing a stream of sequential data then latency and even L2/L3 cache doesn't really matter and you need to transfer as much data as the CPU can eat or produce.
Thank you. Finally some talk that makes sense. CUDIMM's and pointing out that 1440p and 4k where the use is the performance is good. 8 pin power I think needs more explanation. Thank you. MSI ACE has more DIMM slots and only slightly lower support if you want 10G for example but both I think only has the high RAM speeds when only two DIMM are installed. My take is that because the 285K was only a paper launch and rumours now put the Battlemage to be month from now that we might see some changes for the 285K to open more possibilities maybe. It seems creators like you got the job to point out what is needed and the initial launch was done in very safe way. I see PCIe 5.0 direct access to CPU as REBAR on steroids, CUDIMM/285K lifting the CPU, APO for ARC, strong E Cores and no Hyper-Threading Technology. To me this indicates a very strong all INTEL system with Battlemage.
I am having a hard time getting excited for a motherboard, when I can get an AM5 motherboard +CPU +32GB RAM for a similar price. But I do get excited when a new video from my favourite PC janitor drops 😊
Holup, 1949 single-core in Geekbench 6.3? It can't be right, my 5800X3D marks 2188 in the same version (albeit I'm running W10 still). I checked on Tom's Hardware review and they got 3431/23322 in GB6, full 24 cores and CUDIMM. So either you've got an issue with your chip, or (and I suspect it's the latter) you put on screen the results with only the E-cores enabled. If that's the latter, I agree with your statement about the E-cores. Between Zen 2 and 3 performance in ST, yet still achieving Raptor-Lake Core i9 level of MT performance on just 16 cores is crazy good.
Sure... that board might "unlock Core Ultra 9 performance", but at these prices? You can get a cheaper X870 board and a 9800X3D and likely get equal or better performance. As consumers, it would be better for everyone if we sent a clear message to these companies that inflating prices exponentially for features that should be basic across the product stack is entirely unacceptable.
I'm still using a 4770k with a 2070 super, should I go for a 265k? I do some 1080p gaming (maybe 4k in the futur) , vmware sandbox, 3d modeling (solidworks, unreal) and photo editing.
Also, AMD's 9800x3D is much better in games, and most other general purpose applications. Depending on how deep you're planning to go with Solidworks and Blender, and depending on where you're workflow is bottlenecked, Threadripper or Xeon 6 with a beefh GPU could also make sense for a workstation setup.
@@ChristopherGoggans Yeah my time is like 40%gaming/60% other, I need to see how the 9900x3D will be performing when released. I know the 9800x3D is very nice for gaming. I think it's worth waiting a couple of month before jumping in a brand new setup.
what i don't get is why are there never some of these insane 2 dimm boards for amd? i'm on a x870e taichi light rn and they advertise it withb up to 8200mhz, which it does boot but is impossible to stabilize, maybe its my 9950x but i kinda doubt it, even tho buildzoid was saying his 9950x is impossible to stabilize 8000 on as well.. idk i still think better boards would help immensely

There is nothing to save. Motherboard vendors need to prepare themselves for producing cheaper motherboards. Intel has to cut prices next year to keep the sales to an acceptable level. So garbage products will be sold for even less. Ideally a motherboard should cost half of what a high-end CPU costs. 285K dropping below 500 then motherboard vendors should aim for 250 dollar. That's for a capable mid-range Z890 product without any serious compromises.
Well, that's a far too expensive bit of kit for me and though I'd prefer if I had the dosh to buy it I'd probably not bother as bang for the buck metric is pretty low. Perhaps if I had the money I'd not care but more fool my imaginary better off me.
Intel really went all in on their bet with AI, I guess it will take time for people to write software that utilizes their NPUs before we know if it will pay off for them and it seems that until that ecosystem is really thriving, this bet will be hurting Intel competitively. personally am excited to get my hands on one of those chips and start building homebrew AI (Augmented Intelligence) solutions😇
USB4 and 5Gb doesn't taste like a new generation of anything. At the very least, for next gen mobo I would expect: - 10Gb ethernet (now that workstations class machines start at 25Gb (Nvidia/Mellanox..,) then 10Gb should be PC territory now. - USB4 is not a novelty, and it's Thunderbolt 4 parent is a Jurassic standard. At the very least we want Thunderbolt 5 or Oculink x8. - Where is the extra PCIe slot? this is a new generation with more lanes, right? - For a next gen, are we really going to keep the bastard 24pin power connector again (plus the 8pin CPU power) invented by the ATX Cromagnons? A true next gen mobo should solve the rat nest of power cables problem. Please Intel let the troglodite motherboard.designs die once and for all and give us something truly new, otherwise please go and close the door when you exit
More of a mobo and case thing but just a layout that flows air straight through the DIMMs and heatsinks, somewhat similar to a rack server, would be great. Current ATX boxes are absurdly bad for efficient cooling which is why everyone stacks on a dozen giant fans. (Some of this is due to the RGB bois putting fashion over function, but ATX is a poor foundation anyway.)
@mytech6779 I don't agree. The server cooling formula works fine, but it is at the cost of noise (which is irrelevant in a data center). A better way to solve it at home, in a common room, is the open frame formula. Enclosures create a cooling problem that didn't exist, best case is no case.
@@javiej Both of those statements are ill founded. Noise comes from the specific fans and requirement for rack space efficiency, it has nothing to do with the flow through case design. An open air board is certainly better than a bad case and may be sufficient for low power density hardware but it is not the most efficient cooling solution for power-dense components. Even aircraft engines are enclosed in shrouds to control the airflow around the cylinders and exhaust components for more efficient cooling with minimal added drag (aka fan power in the computer situation.). Then enclosed cases also protect against physical impacts/spills, and reduce dust buildup (dust may be less important)
@@mytech6779No. I work in the PC industry and I have built many open frame PCs (or removed their cases), both big and small, and I never got better performance with the closed versions, only similar in the best case. And for your info open frame doesn't mean no cooling, not at all: - Modern (GeForce) GPUs are perfectly cooled by its own heat sink and it's own fans, which nowadays are ALWAYS oversized and oveengineered (the main reason for that is to reduce density to prevent the server market using consumer units, but that is something for another day..., and secondly to reduce noise ). - The CPU needs a proper cooler with it's own fan, but that is no different than closed versions,.you can use exactly the same models. And logically the bigger the better, as even if extra blade size is not necessary it helps to reduce noise. But when you put all that inside a case, you create a ventilation problem that wasn't there, and in most cases yo will also send airflow passing by little holes trough nearby panels which creates extra noise. So best case is no case. It would be different for antique PCie cards that really needed extra airflow, but not for modern PC parts. Even nvme drives can have their own little fans without the need for case airflow. If you don't believe me, just see how most of the big UA-camrs are benchmarking new GPUs and new CPUs. Most of them use open rigs. And no, pets and kids are not a excuse, I have both and they never introduce their paws or fingers in the fans. They are innocent but not idiots. But if you want extra precaution there are circular grill attachments for that.
