Honestly, pricing is the only deterrent otherwise so many people would snatch the 658X for their next vanity build.

Not doing awful against the Threadripper 9960X either: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/16387221?baseline=16569724

The CPU a lot of gamers are dreaming about but Intel won't sell it to them:



Someone on overclock.net got one but the ASUS APEX mobo is giving RAM error code 55.

So it's bartlett lake, still not sure why everyone thinks this is going to be a much better performing cpu. It's not, it wasn't designed for gaming. For those who actually may get it working I'm sure they will be disappointed in the performance.

Yeah, they didn't fix the basic problem - cache. Well, aside from the self-immolating 'feature', which is the only reason I'd be interested in these, but in my case it'd be for homelabbing.
