Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake thread

Shame games where AMD demolish intel I don't play haha, I can't wait to see future with 6800XT, I'm waiting on benchmarks but might swap my 3080 for one

With an Intel cpu i doubt you will need to.
I feel when it comes down to it, everything in red will help, but if you're blue you'll stick with green.
I think that will become a difference.

Yeah I feel like £380 might've been better price for 5800X

I think it'll be there or lower in 6 months, when intel launch their next range of cut down CPUs which lose cores to fit in the mess.

Shame in essence I'm stuck with no CPU at moment cause this 10700K is just on loan for next few weeks, so I gotta decide what to do by end of month cause I'm building a SFF PC, and I think 5900X might be better but 10700K bloody good deal currently, and 10850K isn't a bad deal either

Go 5900x, if you're on a loaner and considering anything else GPU wise, go 5900x

If you are playing anything 1440p and above then there on pretty much on par. If you look at benchmarks at 1440p Zen2 & Zen3 are exactly the same and intel generally a couple of percent higher.

Also depending on who you watch for the benchmarks the 10900k at 1080p is as good/better/worse than the top Zen3 so who knows really whats best.

That's what I brought up when a few people are saying they want more performance for 1440p so they will wait for next gen cpu. The problem is that we are still gpu bottlenecked in nearly all games at 1440p and unless something gives, the cpu will not give a higher framerate no matter how fast the cpu is

That's just the way it is now, in this generation of gaming we are heavily gpu bottlenecked in most cases and the cpu has taken a back step. Maybe that will change at some point in the future but that is the reality righ now

True although i dont feel bottlenecked with my 3090 it is incredible!

AMD have left the door wide open at the 8 core /£400 point as the 10850k is around the same price as the 5800x and the 10700k is quite a bit cheaper. I am in the same boat looking for an 8 core gaming CPU to last a good few years. Probably will still go AMD but it has made me look again at intel.

Definitely this.

I paid £400 for a 10850k and have it overclocked a tiny bit extra to the 10900k stock speed. Looking at game averages that's on par or close to the 5950x, but significantly cheaper. At least when not limiting the TDP anyway.

Most i've seen under load on realbench is 160w and 70c.

My 10900k when playing rdr2 over the weekend was hitting 93 degrees, im using a 360 artic cooler, is it best to redo the paste or are others getting those temps?

 

[FoxEye]

So reviews hit the exact time they go sale, that's lame.

Yes but let's not forget AMD and nVidia do the exact same thing these days.

It's crap but it's now how things are done, sadly.

Your volts aren't on auto by any chance?

yes they are , the company got it from did the tests and mounted it on the board so they may have clocked it up

ampere reviews were out a day before launch.

 

[Tombs75]

yep cheers, im going to read up and turn auto off straight away!!

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

All except the 3090, wonder why...

Ive tried in the bios to turn the clock off but it still ramps up to 4.7 on all cores on startup. Its a nightmare, surely it should be easier to disable.
Tried f5 and then f10
Tried f1 intel defaults and still no joy at all

What is your vcore set to at the moment? Also do you have Multicore Enhancement enabled?

For reference my 10850 stock will boost to 4.8ghz on all cores 24/7 as the power limit is removed. However, default vcore was at 1.35v which is crazy! I have it manually set to 1.22v and fully stable under load at 70c.
