Man your numbers are from Korea DIY. That's like what, 0.005% of the cpu market? Come on now.


Did I

Got any sales numbers that shows a huge drop in recent months?

Of course ill buy them for my next PC, if 15th gen is good why would I not?
Define “good”. It will be roughly equivalent to AMD in single core with higher MT bench scores in Cinebench that magically don’t really translate to real workloads that well. If you’ll notice the 14900k easily beats the 7950x in Cinebench MT but in Spec (a benchmark that uses multiple real world workloads) the 7950x comes out ahead in MT.

No. Korean DIY sales are a drop in the ocean. They don't have to be representative of wide world sales. A producing selling well of badly in one tiny part of the world says absolutely nothing about the world wide sales.

Puget data on the other hand are representative of the real world. There is no reason why failure rates between puget and an off the shelf cpu will be different. They are the exact same cpus.


Intels layoff and employee frustration? Lol. I don't really care, they could lay off every single person, if the products are good I'll buy them.


You are asking me why would I buy an Intel cpu. So obviously I'm talking about me. The chances of having a faulty cpu are tiny in the first place so in the offchance, you have warranty. 3 years for amd and 5 for Intel.


10 to 15% after 2 years is horrible. 12th to 13th was over 40% in a single year.
1) Korean DIY is a big indicator for those who will buy high end stuffs reacts to the recent events, so do all local DIY and local small stores sales, there is no reason to believe consumers will not think similar

Puget system's data have big reasons to believe the out of box failure rates are different:
a) they use lower than intel extreme profile settings, which is now the "fixed" intel spec, by doing so, it could delay or minimize the issue

b) for their systems much fewer units of AMD are sold, as such, even smaller random number of failure, say, 1 CPU per week, for both sides, they could result in different failure %

2) Intel layoff and employee frustration is a big factor, modern tech stuffs need a lot of talented engineers to do the deisgn, QC and safeguard, doing the micro coding and stress testing, having a ton of those ppl swarped to take up other's half baked job, and having a lot of insecurity and frustration among the teams a few months prior to that to make something great without a lot of small issues or something big like blowing itself up within months is dellusional, they can again make something benchmarking great just like RPL and get it into big negative press 1 year down the line

3) Having a faulty CPU at stock is low in chance, but for RPL, having something using their stock setting could eventually blow it up within a few years isn't that low, most of us here have friends encountering such issues already, especially those who game with UE5, with such self destructing stuffs, replacement means you will replace again 2 years later, trouble in the RMA process is trouble. Of course, you have your freedom of choice, but then don't mock others saying they don't recommend intel in the current situation.

4) yea, RPL is 30% in MT and 12% in ST, and drinking a lot more power, so if using same core count, it isn't 30-40%, plus by doing so they blow themselves up within months for the higher end parts since the 13900k complains appears not far from their release till now, so basically they OC themselves to oblivion to get the 30-40%, and THAT is precisely the issue, 10-15% faster is plenty in a Gen on Gen basis, nobody ask one to replace the 7950x with the 9950x.

Cb is real. It's based on ab actual app, cinema 4d. There are plenty of workloads that the 14900k is faster, not just cinebench. Come on now bud, let's not make stuff up.

I expect intel to have similar ST performance with much higher mt performance on every segment, while being faster in gaming than the non x3d.

Is there something unique about the Korean DIY market that makes it unrepresentative? I would assume they use the same key performance indicators we all use. AMD has taken over most DIY markets since zen3. Intel mostly ONLY does well with OEMs and SIs because they can give them massive bulk discounts that AMD just can’t compete with. Problem is Intel is running out of that money so now they’re genuinely losing market share. Unfortunately they’re losing share even faster in enterprise. At this rate, Intel could legitimately collapse in a few years and that would be TERRIBLE for the market. They need to get Gelsinger out and somebody good in.

No matter how you spin Korean DIY numbers are meaningless. Worldwide DIY itself is tiny, restricting it to Korea is so small I don't even know why we are talking about it.

No, not true. Your 14900k is around 40% faster than my 12900k at the exact same power. I know I've tested it, had them both. In fact my 14900k was 25% faster while using half the power (125w vs 240w). We can test it, restrict your cpu to 125w and post your cbr23, I'll have mine at 240w and post my results. You are making stuff up basically.

No, 10 to 15% after 2 years isn't plenty. Replacing a 7950x is irrelevant. People that don't have a 7950x might be looking at the 9950x and will be disappointed cause they waited 2 years for 10% extra when they could have gone for the 7950x instead. It's not complicated.

Yeah Raptor Lake was SO FAST a 50% core count increase led to a 30% increase in performance. Do you even read what you’re writing. Raptor Lake offered 10% performance strictly by following AMD’s lead of increasing cache size. Zen2 and Zen3 wouldn’t have been such huge shocks to Intel if they hadn’t been so greedy with cache up until that point. A 3600 offered more cache overall than a 10900k. That’s sad.

Do YOU read what I'm writing? The 13900k is exactly 39.5% faster than the 12900k WHILE using the same power in MT workloads. That's according to TPUs review. Within 1 year, that's an insane increase.

On the meanwhile you are telling me that 10 to 15% over 2 years is good. Okay bud. You do you.

the 14900k gets faster than the 12700KF I previously used at STOCK voltages gets 36k R23 vs 24k at PL1=PL2=253W vs 180W, with 12 more E cores, undervolting or Power limiting is essentially advanced tweaking and different settings will result in far different results, we talk about what the CPU can achieve in max performance, not made up power reduction or whatever mode with a lot of user tuning, that is silicon lottery category. and in games, it is faster than the ADL, but only maraginally for most part, not even 15%

I don't care about what the CPU will achieve in max performance (or whatever that means), I don't use my CPU or any other device out of the box, why the heck should I care? Do you use your TV or monitor out of the box? Your AC? I don't get that argument. I really don't care about out of the box.

The 13900k is 39.5% faster than the 12900k at the same power. That's a 40% gen on gen increase in performance within 1 year. AMD needed 2 for a 10 to 15%. I'd rather take the 40% increase a year with a small chance of degradation (covered under 5 years of warranty) than 5% a year (with a chance of immolating and taking the mobo with it).

Intel sells tens of millions of chips per year. DIY is a tiny percentage of that. Korean DIY is a tiny percentage of a tiny percentage. 100 sales of Korean DIY and you are trying to make ends meet vs 10s of millions.

Puget's numbers are very representative, no reason to think their CPUs fail at a different rate than off the shelf parts.

Yeah a multicore advantage inferred simply by moving to a larger die isn’t an architectural gain. You’re either showing your ignorance or being willingly obtuse. Not to mention the fact that they just use obscene levels of power to get to the performance they have.

Who said anything about architectural gains? I don't give a dime if my CPU is faster because of an architectural gain or because the stars aligned. I just want it to be faster. Intel made them 40% faster within a year. AMD made them 10% faster within 2 years.

Who the heck cares how it was achieved? That makes no sense, sorry. Are you suggesting that NOT increasing core counts is a good thing? Why? What the heck am I reading....

They are 35-40% faster at the same power bud. Stop making stuff up.

Here you go, from computerbase MT workloads. Same power, 35% perf increase.

No what I’m telling you is that Intel basically took reduced margins to try and remain competitive and their financials seemingly say that it didn’t pay off. I think single core performance is good enough that they should drop the e core BS. 16 e cores takes the die space of 4 p cores. We could’ve had a 12 p core raptor lake flagship instead of the BS we got all because they wanted artificially elevated multicore scores that only hold up in workloads that aren’t latency sensitive. The new e cores are much larger in comparison to p cores and are in fact SUPER wide. They should hold up much better, hopefully.

That's great, thank god for that. I hope they take even more reduced margins, better for the consumer.

Why would anybody want 12p cores over 8+16? Doesn't make sense to me. 8+16 is faster and more efficient on every workload.

Puget's numbers are very representative, no reason to think their CPUs fail at a different rate than off the shelf parts.
the tenth time I tell you, Puget runs BELOW freaking intel spec performance and power, which reduced and delayed any issues arising, that was basically irrelevant to any tuning except Puget's own systems, same chips put into any other's computers with our own settings will have different failure rates, period.

I don't care about what the CPU will achieve in max performance (or whatever that means), I don't use my CPU or any other device out of the box, why the heck should I care? Do you use your TV or monitor out of the box? Your AC? I don't get that argument. I really don't care about out of the box.

The 13900k is 39.5% faster than the 12900k at the same power. That's a 40% gen on gen increase in performance within 1 year. AMD needed 2 for a 10 to 15%. I'd rather take the 40% increase a year with a small chance of degradation (covered under 5 years of warranty) than 5% a year (with a chance of immolating and taking the mobo with it).
I exactly used the TV and AC out of the box! why not?! AC is on auto swing, auto fan speed, and at set temperature I desire, it's the same as using the CPU in stock intel setting, and ask it to do the tasks I ask it to do, I (and I expect most consumers) don't get into the circuitry to tune how much power the AC gets. TV is even more funny, plug it in out of the box, tune the freaking channels, install the apps, I don't overclock/underclock it's cpu.

but 13900k isn't set by intel spec to use the same power, it uses a lot more power, plus it destroys itself

I know - that's what im saying. If you are using pugets settings for both cpus (which are intel and amd stock) amd has a higher failure rate.

Really? Your tv or monitors brightness settings or volume? Your ac as well? It magically happened to be the temperature you wanted? And what if it wasn't? You would return it any buy a different brand until you found the one that had the temperature you desired by default? Sure bud, whatever you say. I don't do that. If I don't like my TV's out of the box settings I just change them, I don't buy a different brand, lol.

Bios isn't circuitry. You don't even have to get into the bios to change power limits btw. Every time you are changing the volume on your TV or your speaker you are doing exactly that btw, you are limitting the amount of power going to them. Kinda funny...

that's why it is even more unrepresentative to the intel market, 99% ppl buy it to get TOTL performance, not at puget's setting which nerf some 15%+ performance of it, and as I said, their % is based on different sample size, so it isn't really apple to apple or representative.

you do know that tweaking the stuffs out of intel spec is essentially "overclocking" and not warrented by intel? not power limit I am referring to, but undervolting or voltage limiting which can affect stability. except you I never seen through the hundreds of PCs I've build wanted to buy a more expensive CPU just to lower it's power to match the performance of a lower tier part, just being more efficient. Maybe your single case represent more than others.

And also, comparing the new product in some unintended power usage is as stupid as it can get, the product have it's bloody spec as intended by the vendor, comparing based on a single person's (you) desire is as relevant to other ppl as who I think is the prettiest girl in the world to anyone else on earth

That applies to both, puget is restricting both amd and intel. Why when both restricted to default stock amd has way higher failure rates? I wonder...

you do know that tweaking the stuffs out of intel spec is essentially "overclocking" and not warrented by intel? not power limit I am referring to, but undervolting or voltage limiting which can affect stability.
Who said anything about undervolting or overclocking though? Why do you even bring it up? I never mentioned it once, it's irrelevant.

. except you I never seen through the hundreds of PCs I've build wanted to buy a more expensive CPU just to lower it's power to match the performance of a lower tier part, just being more efficient. Maybe your single case represent more than others.
Because most people don't actually give a damn about efficiency. They just pretend they do on intel K chip reviews trying to *** on Intel because they hate the company. Makes sense, considering they are super silent about the non k and T chips that are the most efficient desktop chips ever known to mankind :LOL:

But to add to your point, I don't know anyone who is fine with the 7700x's MT performance but then hed buy a 13700 (similar price) to run it at 500 watts. Why would anyone do that? Just run it at 65w, making it equally fast while pulling way less power.

And also, comparing the new product in some unintended power usage is as stupid as it can get, the product have it's bloody spec as intended by the vendor, comparing based on a single person's (you) desire is as relevant to other ppl as who I think is the prettiest girl in the world to anyone else on earth
And I'd care about who you find the prettiest girl in the world why? Im not basing my buying decisions on what you think is better but on what I think is better. I don't use my cpus out of the box so the whole out of the box you are arguing about is absolutely meaningless to me. The way I use the chips (power limited) intel cpus are more efficient than amd cpus (by a lot) on every segment, that's why I prefer Intel.

1) they restricting both by different degree, and by which ppl other than them won't use the same exact settings, so they are NOT representative to anyone other than themselves, if I, say, go opposite, overclock both CPUs, one by 5% and another by 15% and give some failure rate numbers, do you think it is comparable?

2) you mentioned you undervolt your CPU everytime, I didn't say that as I believe in intel stock before the RPL gen. anything not running intel spec by using the intel profiles, is tweaking settings like voltage and power, which is the same, comparing products need to be in stock form, not random tweaks deduced form some random ppl

3) now who is doing the product class matching ? intel and AMD, they compare themselves with the K and X chips, not some haters, maybe intel hate themselves.

4) You finally got it, it is those matters to YOU, not anyone else on the world or here, so why you bother bashing others saying they lost trust in intel as they provide stock products which is unreliable and have disasterous response to the issue, 2 years after it's launch? you get us all arguing against you is perfectly suggesting the same thing
