    Intel Announces Core Ultra 7 270K Plus at $299 & Core Ultra 5 250K Plus at $199

    I hope this means that 290K or 295K, whenever it gets released, has 10P+8E core configuration. They could also do 8P+20E but that's kinda boring and only useful for Cinebench etc.

    So this gen brings: Special "mechanical" features Higher D2D speeds upto 900 MHz (wish they would mention Ring, NGU and D2D speed in Intel ARK) Better IMC to support 7200 MT/s RAM at stock speed CQDIMM quad rank RAM support (these are gonna be HEAVY!) 100 MHz higher boost speeds An extra...

    This is how badly Intel screwed itself over

    https://www.overclock.net/posts/29568643/ Apparently, D2D and NGU tuning being restricted in latest microcode???

    https://videocardz.com/newz/ecs-presents-first-pc-with-intel-nova-lake-s-and-b960-chipset-supports-ddr5-8000 So Nova Lake is basically ready if there are actual working devices out there but Intel will screw consumers with almost an entire year of paltry Arrow Lake Refresh first.

    NVIDIA Is Rumored to Reveal a Revamped GeForce RTX 5050 Featuring 9 GB GDDR7 at This Year’s Computex

    https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-dominates-discrete-gpu-market-as-sales-of-amd-radeon-graphics-cards-hit-historical-low This has me worried. If AMD doesn't counter with better value, they may arrive at a conclusion through their own making via complacency that it's not...

    I don't care about 5050. I'm worried about 9060 XT 8 GB. It's gonna look like really bad value next to 5050 9 GB, even for AMD loyalists.

    10 or 12 GB. But I would like to see them do slower 18 GB. That would age better.

    Oh no. This is disastrous for AMD's 9060 XT 8GB. They need to fire back with 9060 XT "greater than 9 GB but less than 16 GB" !!!!
