More proof that TerryLaze doesn't get it? There is so much falsehood in every pro Intel thing he has said. I have a 9900k, and guess what? Like for everyone else, it can reach 5ghz already. Silicon Lottery is not a good guide, as if you can't reach 5ghz at 1.3 volts, then try 1.32 volts, or 1.35 volts etc. Since anything under 1.45 is very safe with cooling.
The only use case Intel has is high frequency gaming, and the slide that Terry posted has Intel ahead of AMD by 2.5 percent in IPC. That's because Intel has two different memory topologies, one for their HEDT and one for their consumer level chips. AMD uses the HEDT appropriate memory topology for every chip, so they lose a bit due to some memory latency, but it is barely noticeable. That's why AMD crushes Intel in server and HEDT applications, as Intel cannot use the ring bus that they use for gaming, with high core count CPUs. The rest I'm not going to comment on. Too much crap on here.
And b.t.w., I'm going to sell my 9900k to some sucker for the 3950x as soon as it comes out. I tried it and I don't particular care about having an extra few percent of FPS, since the real issue with CPU power is bad programming code, not power. Not even a 6ghz Intel will make emulation better, or fix Magic Arena, or indeed solve random frame rate changes at high frame rates. Good code solves those issues. The other problem is our GPU's are laughable slow compared to vs. previous generations. We need a 3080 ti with double the performance, stat. CPU is irrelevant until we see massive increases in GPU power.
