Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

I can see how some people may want it for their use cases (it does really well in Python 3).
If I had to get a pure content-creation or otherwise compute-intensive build that wasn't a Mac... the 285K is where I'd be. I guess caveated that Threadripper wasn't on the table either, lol!

TRs are more or less out of the picture now unless you want to run one with a single stick of RAM. The prices of quad/octa channel platforms really hurt when it comes to RAM and that was BEFORE the RAM prices went crazy!
 
Weird, someone else other than myself did some testing and found AL performing decent in games at higher resolutions.

I guess I wasn't the paid intel shill everyone accused me of. I didn't see a lot of "niche situations" unless of course we now consider gaming at 4K "niche"

I can "feel" the jealousy written all over that!

So vote Intel and it's not favoritism but paying AMD more for X3D is "supporting" the billion dollar brand (AMD, the billion dollar gorilla! WOW!) and apparently, people need "convincing" by AMD fanboys to buy AMD CPUs :D

Good old loserbench :D

You're so sensitive. :) I hold no brand allegiance. Never have. Yours is telling. But it's all good. Boys be fans. :) some even market... in fhe jungles.

I want Intel to come out swinging and the pendulum to shift. Its good for all consumers when that happens. :)

Don't get me wrong. I want the same to happen too but it's Intel that has made it extremely difficult for themselves for a half decent resurgence of their former glory.
 
If we take loserbench data without a grain of salt (yeah, I know!), the 9800X3D to 285K sale ratio is a staggering 28 to 1 (!!!).

One must ask, how many of these users are on their 2nd or 3rd or even nth Raptor chip???
 
Yea between failure rates due to lets call them... bad configs... to where we are at now. Kind of reminds me of the Xbox 360 and their insane numbers shipped.... I always wondered how many of those were due to RROD replacements.

I was working for a shipper at the time... literally loaded trailers for both 360s and PS3s, exclusively, that went straight to their respective repair depot addresses in south Texas (whereas others might go to a part of a state, or even groups of states depending on distance). At the time we knew how many could actually fit in each size of trailer lol.

That first mass run of unleaded solder really screwed a lot of consumer electronics.
 
My PS3 Slim was destroyed by cockroaches, of all things (out of warranty obviously). Called up Sony and they were like, sure, we will fix it. Only around $200!

I simply cursed the cockroaches and killed them with a vengeance from then on. And that's how I wasn't able to finish Catherine. I was more than two thirds through it.
