Wait, so we have Rocket Lake, Comet Lake, Ice Lake and Tiger Lake CPUs this year?
I'm struggling to keep up with how much Intel is trying to saturate both the media and mindshare with their brand name.
*rubs temples*
Could someone please post a list of Intel's processor part numbers, and their equivalent 'friendly names'. It's getting beyond ridiculous now.
All I need to know is will Intel be able to match AMD, on a core-for-core basis, at the same price point?
if not... the rest is fluff.
Simply nope - unless overclocked and with about double the power consumptionQuote:

The figures for the PC segment looks surprising on first glance - but keep in mind that they're skewed by all the pre-built Intel PCs that are sold by their partners.
The user-built PC scene is a very different story and the trends there will continue to nudge more and more OEMs towards offering a growing range of Ryzen options.
Tigerlake is not the same CPU overclocked. Basically it add another 10% IPC over Ice Lake which in turn is 10% higher IPC than Zen 2. So all in all, Tigerlake should be 15% higher IPC than Zen 2, which is a sizeable difference and it allows them to get the same performance as AMD with much lower frequencies, hence better efficiency. That is the theory at least.Quote:

Doubt that very much - most if not all software would be better with 6 cores than 4. I'd be more worried that the efficiency power wise is nowhere near the same. I'm here with a 65-watt 8c/16t cpu on a £70 motherboard that cost me £150 new on offer. Tiger lake needs a new motherboard etc.Quote:

My god you come across as an intel fanboy with that comment....Quote:

Yep. Only 10nm parts on the server side this year. All about the margins with their bad yields.Quote:

I genuinely think they sit around on a Friday afternoon, in a haribo kids & grownups advert kind of way and go,Quote:

“I know Tigers! (Tiger sounds)” “ooh tigers are epic, that’s epic with an I, sorry boss”

Wake me when they have something more interesting to show off.
Intel's average price on the desktop is also up because the company has a shortage of low end parts. There are sales that simply aren't happening or are going over to AMD because Intel can't supply silicon.
One of the few things that has come out of the current lockdown is the availability of online maths lessons. I suggest looking them up :pQuote:

Looks like some of the specs have been announced. Can this even be called an upgrade...? Underwhelming.
I'm still rocking a 3770K @4.4 16gb@2000mhz, an RX 580 8GB@1450, at 1080p, it plays most game at a mix of medium/high/ultra, I've still no Ryzen to upgrade yet, till I buy a new graphics card and monitor, then it will be AMD, min 8 core :)Quote:
