These CPU's are extremely powerhungry. I rather see a performance per watt number than frequency only,

That is kind of silly to say as that has nothing to do with overclocking. Also, tech tubers don't use real world scenarios except maybe gaming under very clean scenarios.
For instance, my old 9900k was also called power hungry and hot by tech tubers. Mine runs all cores @5ghz never goes above 70 degrees and uses a very tolerant amount of power. In fact someone just a few months ago didn't believe me. I showed him and he still didn't believe me. Sometimes you just have to learn to play with bios settings to get better numbers. I'm no expert but know enough.
Each CPU is different though.
Same with my 13700k. I can set my power limit to whatever I want and still get great performance. Most motherboards have the power limit set to very high numbers which the motherboard will use if it can.
But if I set a power limit on a good motherboard and still tell it to run all cores @5.3ghz it will try to do just that with lower power.
Why they don't do that to begin with I don't know. Also if sitting idle the power usage goes way down unless you set it not to.
Therefore, all this talk about power is blown out of proportion a little. It is real but not how the tech media makes it sound.

This was an overclocking event with the priority of max clocks over anything else.
But if you wanted performance per watt you need to be more specific.
These CPUs can be very efficient at 60 fps gaming if you tune them. I bet they wouldn't even use 30 watts.

Team.AU's feat represents a 33% overclock

Remember when you could get a 50% overclock on air? Pepperidge farms remembers...

Fortune was smelling on them

That made me chuckle a bit. Fortune is a creep smelling people.

No indication of game settings used, including resolution. Rather pointless...

8GHz OC? I'd be curious to see how this nuclear reactor compares to the X3D in gaming at that speed, maybe that can be Raptor Laker ++ ?

 

[daredevil01]

In all seriousness, I was waiting for these to release before speccing my system. I think I'll wait a little longer to see what AMD's next chips will bring.

I may have missed the mention in the article, but at what resolution and settings did they achieve 1310 fps?

Likely 1080 low where all the so called "pro" players living in moms basement set theirs so they can imagine seeing frame their monitor can't even display.

I play competitve shooters (specifically fortnite) at high settings because even at high settings I am still at or above my monitors refresh rate.

I just want the CPU that can give me the best performance/power/price ratio out of the box. I don't care for marketing stunts. People get annoyed by this kind of comments but I can't care less

It's not about seeing every frame, it's about the next frame that will be displayed to be the most updated/recent one possible.
If you get to see your enemy a few ms before he sees you then you have a better chance than he has.

Can you stop with the LN2 nonsense? 99% of the people will never use that stuff anyway.
