Hello there, This topic relates back to my previous posts about purchasing my first laptop. Since then, I've purchased a Dell XPS 17 with a 10th generation i9, 32 GB of ram, a 1 TB SSD, NVIDIA 2060 w/ Max Q, and the 1920 * 1200p display (basically 1080p with 16:10 screen ratio). Since I ordered this straight from Dell's website, I'll be receiving my new laptop in the near future, and after talking to a Dell Service Rep (who was pretty helpful in my experience), he said that I could receive a full refund (within 30-day limit) if I'm not satisfied with my purchase, and honestly, I've been having some second thoughts. Some background on my decision process for laptops: I'll be going into college for Mechanical Engineering as a freshman and I'm in the market for a professional-looking laptop that has great processing power (Intel i7 or i9 or something similar), has at least 16 GB of ram, and has decent graphics to handle AAA titles at a smooth/ minimum 60 fps (I plan on playing games like Doom Eternal, Resident Evil Village, and Forza). A high refresh rate screen (100-120 Hz +) would also be nice, though I plan on getting a monitor for my dorm where I plan to do most of my gaming, which'll have a high refresh rate anyways. Firstly, I'm bit concerned about 10th vs 11th generation Intel processors. I've seen on Dave2D's channel that these 11th generation processors are outperforming comparable Ryzen processors in outright performance, and knowing that the 10th generation Intel processors performed noticeably worse than the Ryzen processors, I feel like I may be missing out on a big upgrade in performance. Secondly, I'm starting to wonder if the 2060 in the Dell XPS 17 would be able to provide the performance I want when playing AAA titles, and I'm also curious how it would handle Minecraft with and without Ray Tracing. I'm a little worried that I'll be falling behind on laptops equipped with NVIDIA 30-series graphics (or Ryzen similar). Third, I'm wondering if I should keep looking for other laptops besides the XPS 17. I should say that the reason I ended up purchasing the XPS 17 was because it had a powerful i9 processor, lots of ram, and - what I was under the impression as, and am still a little confused if it is - a good graphics card (again, we're talking about a 2060 with Max Q, and I honestly have no idea how good/ bad it is in today's age). But more importantly, I was really attracted to it's overall fit, finish, and design: I loved the 16:10 display with its ultra-thin bezels, I really liked its build quality, and when I tried out an XPS 13 in person, I was also in love with the keyboard, and could really see myself using this as my every-day work station. If you folks have any recommendations for other options, here's my priorities: firstly, finding something that looks professional (or "Macbook-esque" or that just generally looks professional/ good looking, and not flashy/ "gamer-like"), and second is that it has enough CPU/ GPU power to handle AAA games. I could deal with 16 GB of ram, though I wouldn't want to go lower, and I wouldn't want to go below and i7/ Ryzen 7. A 4K display would be an added bonus if the laptop doesn't come in 1080p or 1440p, and if it has a high refresh rate, that would also be an added bonus. If you folks can help me out again, I'd be truly grateful (and hey, if this topic/ question can get on the LTT YouTube channel, that'd also be pretty cool )

Hope you all are doing well! I'm planning to upgrade my home PC (i5 3570k) because it's driving me nuts when I'm working. So after many hours of research online (I would say I gave it ~12 hours of searching and reading, making tables etc) I just cannot decide between 10700KF (kf as I dont need iGPU) and 5600x. Both cpus are well stocked in my country so that should not be a problem. Problem is that I just can't decide for one. I was looking for compile benchmarks on https://openbenchmarking.org/ mainly beacuse of pretty big database of compilation benchmarks. WARNING: RANT START -> I'm programmer, so compilation and Gradle benchmarks are big priority. LTT are benchmarking compilation times for compiling Mozilla Firefox. For many programmers I know, this test has little - to no value for us. Mozilla Firefox is celestial, gargantuan, well branched and structured codebase and it's very well made for fast compile times. Us mortals make smaller projects (not well structured, ain't nobody have time for this) using Unity3D (roslyn compiler), Android studio (gradle build, DEX compiler), Visual Studio (compiler depends on project), IntelliJ etc, Python, XCode on macs (or hackinthosh) etc. <- RANT END Having very good game performance is big plus. So I would say my priority is divided by 50:45:5 between compilation:gaming:rendering. I ended up comparing total of 4 CPUs: 10700KF, 9900KF, 5600x, 3800x. I know the title is about 2 CPUs, but I did a little bit research on these other models (I have 9900K in my office and it's pleasure working on it). Want to buy Arctic Freezer II 280 - mainly because of performance/price as I don't care about RGB. With that I should be able to overclock and keep temperatures low enough for good long life of CPU (I think). I would buy 360 version, but as nexusgamers noted what orientation the radiator should be in front mount, the 360 version does not have long enough tubes I think. So here is the list of info relating to my build: I will be using my current 1070gtx in new build. Prices in my area (in USD): 10700KF 420 9900KF 427 5600x 373 3800x 392 - All prices are relatively in the same ballpark I think - I would sacrifice 50 coins if it will help - As I know myself I will never upgrade CPU once it's in the PC. - AMD's have better TDP so maybe longer life while overclocked? - On openbechmarking.org the Intel did beat AMD in almost every compilation benchmark (higher clocks > more cores in this cases). - AMD's are much better at gaming (altough not sure if it'll make difference on my 1070gtx at 1080p) Some other thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

So you're probably wondering why I want a laptop CPU Long story short I want to upgrade my laptops CPU I am aware of the diffuicult of the task and I have done all the required reseach for compadability and support. The only issues I will have is the inability to overclock due to the BIOS, which I am okay with as I want the higher binned CPU anyway and further down the line I might decide to find a way around it. For now though all I'll be doing is usoldering the old CPU (i7 9750H) and soldering on the new one (i9 9980HK). I'll probably even get a professional to do it for me For those who are wondering what the laptop in question is; its a Dell G7 17 (7790), i7 9750H, RTX 2060, 16 GB Corsair Vengence RAM

Hello, I have managed to get a cheap bargain on the Intel i9-9900 non-k version, and i'm looking for a good motherboard with it. I found out ASUS TUF Z390-PLUS GAMING (Wi-Fi) is a good motherboard for the price and what its offers (I need the WiFi) BUT I am not sure about its compatibility with the i9-9900, as I saw the mobo has only 4x2 vrm phases. I would like to know if this motherboard is good enough for me or not, I am planning to mainly game on it; And as the CPU is non-k version, I would not be able to OC. Thanks.

Budget (including currency): hopefully under 3,000 usd Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: strictly gaming Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I need help figuring out what’s the best parts to go with my new build with a Msi 3090 ti, a 12900kf cpu, and an asus ROG strix z690-a motherboard (ddr4). Looking for good recommendations on ram, and m.2 drives. Also am looking to get an ARCTIC liquid freezer II 360 argb cooler but am open to any and all recommendations on if any other coolers work better. The power supply is asus rog strix 1000w gold and the case is the Corsair 4000d. Nothing is purchased yet so these parts are all interchangeable

Budget (including currency): $6000 CAD (Budget is flexible, I'm more focused on performance) Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming/recording game footage (Minecraft, but probably others once I actually have a good computer), and game development (Blender, Unity) Other details: OS: Windows 11 Pro Upgrading from 2007 Macbook, so an upgrade is definitely in order. Monitors: 1 1440p 240hz G7, 2 1080p monitors, all preferably on DP FPS: 120 while streaming and recording Buy: By the end of the year. Current part list: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Sergeant_Ranger/saved/#view=Q8kPJx (NOTE: On part list, the 3090 Ti is just a placeholder, I will actually be buying a 40-series like the 4080 Ti) currently adds up to $5547.68 CAD. (I may go with a cheaper second M.2 ssd, or put off buying it if need be) Sanity check before actually starting buying the parts next week (gpu will have to wait on Nvidea's release date ig). I went with the F series motherboard because I don't do overclocking, so the E series seemed a bit overkill. On PcPartPicker, the Compatibility Check gives a warning that the PCIe 16-pin connector would be supplied by 3 6+2 pin connectors, but I couldn't find any power supplies with different PCIe connectors that would work better. (And yes, I did consider custom water loops instead of AIO, but I'm not even sure where to start with a custom loop.) Hopefully my list isn't too insane.

Hello dear hardware boffins, I'm looking at the T lineup of intel CPUs. The 12900T seems to turbo to the same level (on paper) as a 12700 - but for still lower TDP. Would this mean that during gaming I get the same performance, but a lower power usage? Is there a real drawback here (besides the price, but I upgrade every 8-10 years, so I'm OK with spending extra for efficiency + longevity)? Do you have any real experience or did you see any real comparison of the two under similar workloads? (Quick search came up empty on this.) Do I assume right that lower power = lower temp = longer life? One more thing, I would love if I could continue using this CPU for 8+ years, now with a 4060-ish card for 1080 60 gaming, maybe a more serious GPU in 4-5 years. Am I missing something important? Thank you!

Good day currently I have bought Noctua NH-D15 not Chromax to my i9 12900k variant Location Temp: Philippines Location Temp: 35-41 °C°F Room Temp: 35-41 °C°F No Aircon just electric fan my concern is my IDLE is around 40-50°C°F and at max performance it is thermal throttling 100°C°F sometimes above . I am using Noctua thermal paste. free with the NH-D15 what seems to be a problem? Do the Noctua NH-D15 cant handle the 12900k? should I change or switch to a better AIO?? but I have a phobia in AIO or should a change the thermal paste? my case is TUF GT-301 and fan setup is 3intake front 2top fan out and the rear fan out I upload screenshot of my system idle and max performance.. thankyou in advance for advice.

I found this weird cpu on ebay when looking for a i9-9900k. It is a i9-10980HK ES soldiered to an LGA 1151 adapter board to make it work for motherboards supporting intel Gens 6-10 cpus. It requires a special modified bios to work. looks crazy it says it can get up to 4.8ghz and some can overclock up to 5.5ghz all cores. I dont know if it is all bs or actually sounds like a fun project.

Look I get random fps drops for absolutely no reason in gta V and I have a decently low GPU and CPU usage so I'm wondering what the problem can be here any idea ? This is in 1080p 165hz btw. Here is the average that MSI Afterburner was showing in this video : GPU : 40°C 40% CPU : 70°C 20% https://imgur.com/a/J4enutr

Hi there, I've just got my 13900ks and installed it under it NH-D15 with a nice thermal grizzly kryonaut layer between, and to make sure everything was fine I've run a cinebench r23 test. I've tested it on an open bench setup, but my ram is a bit too tall to perfectly fit the second fan which is around 1cm higher than it should. As soon as the test start, the temp goes to 90°C and 100°C few secondes after. None of the core went above 5600MHz (and throttle around 5500 after the 100°C hit) and my score is way bellow average at 37767. Under no load and even right after a cinestress, it goes back to 35°C Compared to other people with similar setup it felt like I'm missing a bit of my CPU The score I get is way more than enough, but as some other seem to be able to go up to 40kpoints in the same setup make me think I may have missed something. Is that normal?

Summary A report from DigiTimes in Taiwan says Intel has decided to slash the prices of its 12th Generation ‘Alder Lake’ Core processors by up to 20%. The source indicates that this price cut will be to encourage orders/boost demand, with hints that the cuts will affect both desktop and laptop CPUs. On top-tier products, the cuts could mean a price cut of up to $130 per processor. Quotes My thoughts I see this as a logical move by Intel, as AM4 is still very compelling option for most individuals. You can get an adequate B550 board, Ryzen 5 5600, and 16-32GB 3200MHz kit of DDR4 for a stellar price. By cutting the prices of Alder Lake/12th Gen by 20%, this makes going Intel a more persuasive alternative. I see Zen 4/AM5 and 13th Gen as very competitive, giving the edge to Intel. Nonetheless, this move by Intel will make previous Gen also very competitive. I'm not sure if this is still on track, but there was supposed to be a Raptor Lake refresh coming later in the year, allegedly Q3 2023. If this is true, it's possible Intel is trying to clear 12th Gen stock before Raptor Lake refresh launches to compete with Zen 4 7000X3D chips.

The Intel website says the max supported ram speed for the I9 9900K is DDR4-2666. So i figured that getting anything above that speed would be pointless. Because the CPU would not be able to take advantage of the extra speed. But last night i watched this video from Linus where he used the I9 9900KS in a build with DDR4-3600 ram. So i'm guessing that there is something that i don't know about to take advantage of faster ram speeds then your CPU can support? Maybe overclocking your CPU would allow it to use faster speeds? If so is there a way to get an I9 9900K to use DDR4-3600 without wasting speeds? Is there a point to get DDR4-3600 for an I9? Video: https://youtu.be/oa9VQuPsivU?t=298

Budget (including currency): 250.000Ft-400.000Ft (Hungarian Forint) = 800USD-1300USD Country: Hungary Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016-2018, AutoCAD 2018 Other details Hi everyone! I'm looking for a build to replace my father's old workstation for a new one. Currently, his "fastest" workstation at his office has an i5-2400, 16GB of RAM and a Quadro FX 3800. Of course, with a WD Black HDD. It's struggling with 2D basic utility drawings which takes up about 5-15MB/file, so nothing heavy. When other things are running in the background, it's nearly useless. (I know, an SSD would be a big upgrade but AutoCAD is still lagging badly.) Currently, he's using 2 FHD monitors which won't be upgraded in the near future. Maybe after 5 years, 4K displays will be more consumer-friendly and affordable. Nothing 3D or very heavy task. He wants a future-proof computer, so he asked for his IT guy. He offered my dad a 3300USD workstation which is in my opinion, totally unnecessary. That one would have an i9-7920x, 64GB of RAM and a Quadro P4000. Now, he also sent me a link for an HP Z Tower G4 which is running on a Xeon-E-2274G, 32GB of RAM and a Quadro P2200. (+ 512GB PCIe SSD) I couldn't find price for that but with the same CPU, 16GB of RAM, half the storage and with integrated graphics, it costs between 1500-2000USD. This looks good but very expensive. I searched for an image what my father draws usually. Or something similar, maybe 2x bigger. (I will search for more similar drawings if needed or link one of his work if possible.) As I know, AutoCAD is not really a multithreaded application, so as I understand, the Single-thread performance on passmark is a very good point of the performance of that CPU. Now, I also made a list what I would buy which is this: Ryzen 3 3300X start with 16GB of RAM and upgrade that later if needed and a Quadro P2200. The other parts doesn't matter for now. (SSD, nice PSU, basic case, motherboard with 4 RAM slots, it doesn't need to be fancy, just a basic turnon-work-turnoff) As I checked the scores and comparisons, the Ryzen has a better single-core performance. I checked it on Passmark and on UserBenchmark. The Ryzen's TDP is half of the i9's. During these drawings, I don't think that the i9 would have a huge advantage at that price point. My father runs a single-employee business (him), so it would be good if the workstation was not really expensive. Thank you very much for any help or advice! Please, correct me if I'm wrong somewhere!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to know if anyone knows what testing methodology for the CPUs the team used in the new review, as it seems important. If they were testing the Ten-Nine-Hundred Kay (awful name) at their unlimited 250W, but then the 3900X using 150W, it doesn't seem too fair. Just because there's a 16% improvement in performance for gaming doesn't mean it's worth the 78% more power draw. BC Hydro's Power Calc gives the result of (6hrs/day, 1 year) of 328.50kWh & $36.73 for R9 and 547.50kWh & $61.21 for i9. If anyone has the info please link it below as it would be interesting to see what the cost of 16% is for both i9 against the R9 Sources: 10900K Power: LTT 10900K Review 3900X Power: Gamers Nexus Review Power Cost Calcs: BC Hydro Cost Calculator

Hey LTT forum, Everyone's favorite tactical breakfast food here. Recently I purchased the components for my new build, by recently I mean they're still in transit. I've been tossing up the debate between two CPUs in my head giving myself a little bit of buyers remorse as I already purchased one, but am unsure if I should return it and get the other. So my current list of items purchased are as follows: CPU: i5-9600k Cooler: Corsair H60 GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 Super MoBo: Asus TUF z390 (wi-fi) RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3200 (4x8gb) Storage: Samsung 860 QVO 1TB Case: NZXT h510 PSU: EVGA SuperNova GA 650 Gold I've been debating if I should return the i5 and replace it with the i9-9900k for more power. I plan on gaming and streaming all on the same PC without having a second PC strictly for streaming. I know that I'll obviously be getting more power out of the i9-9900k, but is it worth it for me to swap out the i5 for it? Criticism and advice are always welcome as I love learning more and more in hopes that it will make me a better PC builder in the long run. Thanks a bunch guys, TheTacBacon

BGR took notice of Linus's rant about the i9 and X299 chipset. "For such a big player to break from the script and annoy the biggest processor company on earth isn’t a common occurrence, so more than ever it’s worth taking note." The author makes an interesting point that Linus wasn't afraid to tell it like it is (though really, when has he ever?). http://bgr.com/2017/06/05/intel-core-i9-preview-linus-tech-tips-not-happy/

More Data Requires More Power; Intel Introduces New 4-18 Core SKUs, Intel Core i9 and its First Teraflop Desktop CPUs. There's no question that the resurgent AMD Ryzen processors are pressuring Intel in the mainstream CPU market. Until now, Intel has stood unflinching in the face of the renewed competition and has stoically left its price structure unchanged (except for the Core i3-7350K). And AMD's recent announcement of its beefy 16C/32T ThreadRipper processors made it clear that the company intends to bring the fight to the HEDT segment as well. It was only a matter of time before Intel answered, either via lowering its prices or adding more cores. With the release of its new Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X products, it appears to be doing both. Intel announced several new high-end SKUs here at Computex 2017 in Taipei today. Intel is segmenting its new X-Series HEDT lineup into i5, i7, and i9 processors and increasing the core counts. Surprisingly, the company is offering a much lower price point for its core-heavy i9 series. Broadwell-E 10-cores weighed in at an eye-watering $1,723, but the new Skylake-X 10-core retails for only $1,000. Intel's new branding scheme finds the Skylake-X i9 series with 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18-core models with hyperthreading, which leads to a massive 36 threads on the high-end Core i9-7890XE. The i7 series spans four, six, and eight cores with hyperthreading, while the i5 series has a lone four-core, sans hyperthreading. Intel's HEDT lineup traditionally lags a generation (or two) behind its mainstream processors. For example, we had the Broadwell-E architecture on the X99 platform while the Kaby Lake generation shipped for mainstream audiences. That trend also changes with the addition of the four-core Kaby Lake-X i5 and i9 series to the HEDT stable. And perhaps most interestingly, we're seeing a jump in clock speeds for the HEDT lineup. The 10C/20T i9-7900X features a mundane 3.3 GHz clock, but that jumps up to 4.3 GHz with TurboBoost 2.0, and an impressive 4.5 GHz with TurboBoost 3.0. That implies a relatively high overclocking ceiling. Intel's also reorganized its cache subsystem to boost performance. Along with the normal advances borne of better process technology, the company claims the i9 series offers 15% more performance for single threaded workloads and 10% more for multithreaded workloads. All of the new models snap into the new LGA2066 socket on X299 "Basin Falls" chipset motherboards, which denotes a fundamental shift from the traditional server chipsets Intel used with the previous HEDT series to a client-oriented chipset. It's a lot to take in and we've got a lot of ground to cover, so let's dive in. The Intel® Core™ X-series processor family introduces a series of firsts that reflect the extreme performance we are delivering. This family includes Intel’s first teraflop desktop CPUs, a prime example of just how much raw compute these processors can handle. We’re also introducing the entirely new Intel® Core™ i9 processor, representing the highest performance for advanced gaming, VR and content creation. At the top of the lineup is the new Intel® Core™ i9 Extreme Edition processor – the first consumer desktop CPU with 18 cores and 36 threads. (8th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor: We will have more to say about the 8th Gen Intel Core processor in the future but it’s exciting to share that in the latest testing, we’re seeing a performance improvement of more than 30 percent over the 7th Gen Intel® Core™ processor.)
