Nice review Adam!
I'm hooked on this content!💕
What's up with Gordon? 😢
I'm shocked that a person can develop his thought like that🍒
Dan is the man!
Nice work Adam, really enjoyed your approach. If you are going to focus more on productivity benchmarks for CPUs, would be awesome if you could include the Autodesk Revit benchmark (RFO benchmark from revitforum dot org) as it's very CPU sensitive… yet mainly single threaded. Would be refreshing to see it included in more mainstream publications and us architects and engineers who like to build our own PCs would have an easier time picking a CPU 🙂
Are Intel make a gimmick processor, with new name ?
I wish we would see some Overclocking since its an K cpu. Overclocking cache and ram speed should be doable for the consumer on this gen. The "Try it ram" oc function isnt hard to use.
Can’t wait for the next gen of intel desktop CPU’s. I’m looking to upgrade next year, hopefully they release their version of 3d v-cache next year.
Intel always win
I use a product / game called MSFS-2020 among other racing games…..Single core 6GHz should work good, I think I can use the Intel utility to control the cores that the game uses if memory serves me right. (can't remember the name). But my goal is to take out my 12900K from my Z690 DDR5 Mother Board (it's a ROG Strix "E") and put the 14900K into the existing mobo CPU socket and then put the Corsair closed-loop cooling back onto the new chip, taking the 12900K out and seeing about selling it (I have the original packaging) hoping to gain 1 entire Gigahertz (I'm currently sitting at 5.0 GHz on a good day-in turbo mode in the BIOS settings). I also try to use the XMP but some people tell me to turn that off. If I remember correctly, my memory is some of the early Trident Z5 DDR5 F5-6000U4040E16GX2-TZ5RS (DDR5-6000 16GBx2). CL 40-40-40-76. 1.30v Memory. So I'd like to pop in this new Intel chip (14900K) and see if that gives me more lanes on my PCI bus and faster graphics for my gaming. If I need to upgrade to 64GB RAM from 32GB RAM, let me know that as well and thanks so much for all the help !!!
Very pretty liquid build behind.
Answer me this.
Wry is ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI not out whit new motherboards for 14 th gen.
When you take a look at there websites they have been there for long time now.
But not 1 store do have series for sale?
But people have zero problems getting CPU Intel 14700K or 14900K whit in a few hours.
What is going on here?
MSI cut not even answer that, ASUS well just suckes at customer service, and Gigabyte is lost in space just a recall on use old motherboards.
We all miss Gordon very much and hope we'll see him again soon, but Adam has done a great job here with this review.
Patrick you are very humble, it's clear you care about Gordon.
Guys just a little critique on your graphs. I'm colorblind and I cannot tell the difference in the red bars almost at all.
I agree with Adam that using game FPS to make your CPU decision seems silly when realistically GPU is responsible for 90% of that performance. Especially when you can only see the number difference if you are running a 4090.
Surprisingly the biggest local retailer (Alza) is currently selling 14700k for 10$ CHEAPER than 13700k, after conveniently reseting the pricing for 13th gen just before this release 😀
If you already have an LGA1700 and wants to upgrade, the 14th gen is fine. But why would anyone buy it in a new computer?
The Intel chips can use 100-200 watts more than the AMD equivalent. They didn't mention how hard it can be to cool that much power. Liquid cooling required territory, and even then they can thermal throttle.
Dont like AMD its like nightmare on Elm Street
Honestly if I had a 12700K to 12900K.. I wouldn't even upgrade..
I appreciate your review as it is well-rounded, unlike some other reviews too heavily focused on gaming.
Now, viewing this video made me reflect on power consumption and its implications a bit deeper.
It seems to me there are four major implications of "power consumption," causing different people to react differently to this concept. Let me dwell upon them below.
1. Economical implication: this is plain and straightforward. It's just electricity cost resulting from power consumption. The significance of this implication seems to depend on electricity cost in your region. For instance, if you live in Europe, this implication may have gained much importance during the past year. Your perception of the economical implication, however, may perhaps also depend on your underlying attitude to the normative implication given below as I note below.
2. Normative implication: this refers to the ethical and other normative significance you attach to power consumption in general. For instance, if frugality is a virtue for you or if you think wasting resources constitute a vice in itself or if you are extremely ecologically-minded, etc. reducing power consumption is desirable in itself and any difference in power consumption is meaningful to you. Most people are not even aware of this implication and haven't thought about it all. Some people may flatly denies this consciously. This, however, seems to underlie people's perception of the significance of the economical implication. People who seemingly deny the normative implication seem to downplay the economical implication.
It should be noted that the normative implication and your perception thereof heavily depends on your norms, values, cultural background, etc.
3. Thermal implication: power consumption generates heat, which causes a rise in CPU temperature. Reducing power consumption helps reduce CPU temperature and makes cooling easier. There is one caveat, however. There are CPUs that are more difficult to cool than others due to their structure. For instance, even though CPUs with 3DVcahe consume much less power, they are said to get hot and not so easy to cool.
4. Acoustic implication: this is corollary to the thermal implication. Higher temperature requires greater cooling work, which often entails higher fan RPM, hence greater noise.
For me, the acoustic implication is most important as I am extremely sensitive to noise.
Now, depending on which implication(s) is (are) important to you, relevant power consumption situations differ.
If economical and normative implications matter, the total power consumption during a given period of time matters most.
If thermal implication is important to you, power consumption under heavy load becomes important as it determines the higher range of temperature reached.
If acoustic implication matters most, power consumption during the most prevalent use matters. Loud noise may be tolerable for a very short period of time but not for a longer period of time. If your PC is in the idle state most of the time, idle power consumption is most important. If your PC processes a moderate load task most of the time, then power consumption under such a load matters most.
In light of these, measuring power consumption only under all-core workload or during gaming may not be informative enough for some viewers.
I’m really interested to find out how Intel chooses to price the 14700 non-k. It might be the pick of the bunch if it’s priced on par with the 13700. Mobos these days are so loose with power limits that the K performance advantage is marginal.
Great job, Adam. Thanks very much for the review. Very helpful.
I agree. CPU importance in gaming is overblown. Once you have “enough” performance, you’re better served by putting money into GPU.
"had some problems" with the Gen.5 SSDs – meaning when using it on the Intel System you will have to take away PCIe lanes from the GPU as a tradeoff. Maybe messing up the GPU values of the comparison.
That is, where the newer AM5 plattform with 24 usable PCIe 5.0 lanes shows its advantage (4 lanes for the chipset already deducted).
Though to be honest – the normal user will neither notice the SSD running with "only" 7500MB/s Gen4 speed nor the GPU only using 8xPCIe 😉
I love how the shirts are also blue vs red aesthetic 😂
GOOD i7 14700k BEAST
Power is CRAZY high in PG&E areas of California. Having moved to Sacramento from WA State recently, it is a joke. 11.4 cents a KWh in Washington to almost 40 cents a KWh in California makes a good argument for the AMD I think. Oh and a 22% increase is likely coming on 11-2-2023 for PG&E. SMUD is far lower. These new chips seem meh. I could see a case for Alder Lake users to perhaps drop in the 14th gen stuff, but that is it. BTW, Hawaii is the most expensive power in the USA, closely followed by California, though after the upcoming increase, that might switch. And Washington State is easily the cheapest. Intel needs that smaller node BADLY! Arrow Lake cannot come soon enough IMO.
29:00 true
31:10 yes
You're doing a great job Adam! Best wishes to Gordon…I like this guest:)
