Will you pre-order or buy a Rocket Lake CPU?

Can't speak for everyone but I'm certainly very happy at this point with the AMD 6800XT/Intel setup.

Don't think I'll get the new Intel CPUs though, but to be fair I've not really researched them :)
TBH they seem a massive backwards step and it seems intel only released the so called 11th gen to try and stop more marketshare going to AMD, but that conversation is for another thread ;);)

Rocket lake has another problem and this time it's not the cpu cores.

As it turns out, Intel have yet to actually release a video driver for Rocket lake - yea that's right, the iGPU on Rocket lake has no drivers and also funny is that Intel has no solid date for when a driver will be released right now it's just "a few weeks away"

I will be looking at 11400 for our aging office pcs they seem good value.
Do you really need a 6c/12t CPU for an office PC? And the 10400 is £30 cheaper, Ryzen 3200G is £50 cheaper.

Even for simple office use, I really can't see an argument for Rocket Lake, especially when Comet Lake is seeing big price drops to shift stock.

Some reports from the accounts package can take over a minute to run if I run the same report from my 9700k with pcie 3 SSD it runs about 10 x faster. Time is money if you get reports running faster invoices generating in less than a second rather than 3 seconds that saves staff time at £20.00 an hour so it will pay for itself and I can get more done per person.

think yourself lucky we use a web based system once people start running reports it grinds everyone else to a halt

talk about frustrating for sales staff

Exactly this some of our stuff is in the cloud and we got full fibre last year and it was a god send we had 2 adsl lines before 1 for VOIP and the other for general internet.

As you say it causes upset and wastes time paying staff to wait for the system so I think paying that bit extra is worth it the 11400 looks good for me and should last many years.

More oc gaming comparisons: A well oc’d 9900k will beat or match an oc’d 11900k in gaming. A 10900k will pull away even more so with games that core scale. A few niche cases like Minecraft the 11900k does really well in. Overall, if you overclock for gaming purposes primarily, get a 10900k with DR bdie and avoid rkl.

Are you sure that’s not just the SSD making a difference?

it doesnt suprise me dont think the 11900 or 11700 are worth it

but to be fair only a tiny minority ever buy the top chips or even overclock them
