The 5600X3D was released mid last year.I thought we were getting a 5500X3D and a 5600X3D as well.
I'm not sure what the cost of the Meteor Lake Core ultra line are. Google doesn't tell me ****.The main buzzkill with the G-series is that they have less L3 cache than even the single CCD... 'desktop'-oriented parts? Not even sure how to differentiate them easily.
They should have lower memory latency due to being monolithic, and if they follow the pattern of the 5000G-series, they may support higher memory speeds as well, especially when it comes to overclocking beyond base specs, so maybe the smaller L3 cache isn't as big of a hit.
Oh, and that US$329 intro price for the top APU SKU is a bit hard to swallow, IMO.
Can't really compare the mobile prices since OEMs don't pay MSRP, and we don't know what the desktop MTL SKUs are going to look like. Other than that they're going to need a new socket and chipset to back them up.I'm not sure what the cost of the Meteor Lake Core ultra line are. Google doesn't tell me ****.
It wasn't just exclusive to the US, it was exclusive to one specific retailer: Micro Center.Just checked, thought I was losing the plot, looks like it was just a US release.
No love for this side of the pond.
Really?Considering just how well Microcenter did at keeping stock on hand for shoppers during the whole covid lockdown years... if I had to pick one vendor to sell computer accessories or components through in the US... it would be Microcenter.
And one of those is right down the highway from me. So I'm sure that colors my impression of them. Also for the covid lock down against all odds that worked out in their favor.Really?
They are only good at it because you have to drive in to one to get anything, and they are only located in a small handful of areas.
Not the ones in my area. People were lining up outside of the stores before opening, ready to jump delivery trucks, and even getting into fights. Whenever I rolled through the closest Micro Center, the GPU shelves were always empty.Considering just how well Microcenter did at keeping stock on hand for shoppers during the whole covid lockdown years
Yes GPU's were being run on... but that's a given and driven by insane demand for various reasons and scalpers going for profit.Not the ones in my area.
