I recall asking my parents for a new video card for Christmas. I had a Diamond Viper V770 Ultra, and wanted a 8500 however I ended up getting a 7500 as it was I believe around $100 cheaper than the 8500. But i was running it on such a low end system. I saw an improvement just not a huge one...
I remember reading about quack and quake on [H] way back when I was first getting into the computer hardware scene. My how things have changed, but stayed the same in some regards
When I built my 2 AL systems 225 and 285k I choose 7200c34 ram, at the time it was about the best price/performance. I did sort of want to go to the moon and get a 9000+ kit but real world gains weren't really there. I think my next step is seeing what speeds I can get with 4 dimes installed...
I could care less about geekbench. Hardly ever run it, i run other tests to check for performance.
I don't see this being a huge issue, it's a benchmark, not a game or application
Do i feel alienated? I don't not, I'm happy with my 285k it's fully tuned and working great. Always has been. Now since I got my 225 for dirt cheap I might replace it with a 250k or 270k and that makes for a very cheap upgrade.
I also didn't feel like waiting an entire year for an arrow lake...
Wasn't so much of a puff piece was it? Arrow Lake refresh is impressive and the pricing is out of this world good. But I'm sure people will still find issues with it
If only people had functional brains. This cpu is not worth the effort in the slightest to get working. The benchmark numbers if people ever get this to work will be such that everyone will be disappointed.
It's not "good stuff"
You really want something without E-cores then buy a raptor lake CPU use process lasso and disable the E-cores, and lose performance.
The BL passmark result above was done on DDR5-5600
I'm not really sure what your problem really is. If you wanted performance then why...
I'm the farthest thing from hostile, seems to me most people these days are just soft and need to fill out hurt feelings reports. People just don't like being asked to justify their opinions, and it usually comes out they have the most irrational information they are basing their opinions on.
or 7600CC36 or 6800C34 as shown in above graphs........
"a good deal of money" actually AL is one of the cheapest platforms to get great performance on..........
I can walk in to my local store and pick up a 265K and B860m for $620.........
Or I can get a 9800X3D and B650 for $860
I'll take...
