Saved even more money if they didn't go this dumb 'many tile' route and just stuck with a monolithic chip.

It's crazy and everyone complained and compared them to AMDs old Bulldozer CPUs with how hot and power heavy they are. Now they finally take 1 generation to give you still the same really good performance, but massively lower the power usage presumably from now on in every coming generation as well. And people complain? People wouldn't be happy unless you give them a 15% performance jump and cut power usage in half in one generation.

[@modernlogix]

For what it's worth, those slides look a lot more honest than they have been in a decade, certainly better than what AMD did for Zen5. Also, them going for the efficiency was the right choice to make, because however fast their CPUs were, the reviews were always "Hot mess, that can't compete with AMD". Now at least it's better at efficiency even if it loses to the X3D chips, this is similar to what Zen1 and Zen2 did, great multicore performance, decent single core performance. But yeah the prices should've been lower as well to compete, but I don't know how low can they go with them manufacturing at TSMC.

[@someonesomewheresometime3897]

well. the new intel cpus may perform at the level of the 14 gen or a bit below but at least they should not be plagued with instability and degradation issues, so its still an improvement i'd say. it would get such performance in a reliable way, and not by pushing the architecture beyond its capability as was done with intel 13 and 14 gen, so good for them. i would expect these new cpus to be far better at single threaded applications, btw. not to mention that if these cpus are as power efficient as is being said, they may not require as powerful coolers as 13 and 14 gen. who knows, maybe even the 285k can be reasonably cooled by good tower coolers, instead of requiring liquid cooling.... so people can save money on the coolers.

[@Trunka34]

Did intel disclose what windows version was used for amd testing?

[@toddsimone7182]

After all the 13th/14th gen issues I'm sure intel is being overly careful on where they set base frequencies. The real test for the claimed IPC uplifts will be to see if there's considerable OC headroom and how well they scale with faster memory. I'd think more than Raptor Lake considering the new tiled design. Back in the Sandy Bridge days no one cared about stock performance but how the "unlocked" CPU's performed when overclocked. Hopefully these can do 6Ghz plus on a good cooler, all core.

[@neuplop]

I expected way more efficiency going to tmsc 3nm tbh.

[@maynardburger]

They are still pushing clocks quite a bit beyond its sweetspot. I bet if you compare performance at 5Ghz, Arrow Lake will beat Raptor Lake by a fair bit bigger margin.

[@moist_ointment]

Efficiency doubled.

[@andersjjensen]

@@maynardburger The 9950X boosts to 5.7GHz too. But is on N4. N3B should be a 7% improvement in clock speed at ISO power over N4.

[@andersjjensen]

@@moist_ointment No it didn't. Efficiency doubled if you limit the 285k to 125W. But nobody runs a k SKU like that. That's what the non-k parts are for. If I run my 7950X3D undervolted and at 50W it still retains 85% gaming performance and 70% all-core performance. Yes, we know you improve efficiency by limiting power. But it makes for pretty graphs... except the same bloody graph showed that if you run the 14900k at 125W too then the efficiency gain was only about 30%.

Long term platform support - given what a non-event the 9000 series is I have discounted the value of platform longevity. If you buy at the top end and AMD iterates with a negligible difference, platform longevity means very little. The 7000 series to the 9000 series has been more or less a marketing update and a price reset, not a performance increase.

[@shiraz1736]

[@theodentherenewed4785]

I'm curious what's the deal with hyperthreading - for all those years, has it had little use? I'd think that efficiency of hyperthreading is application-dependent - so it appears that for gaming, we basically need a few fast cores and those extra threads aren't too useful.

[@georgwarhead2801]

the point of HT was to lett the core do other work while waiting for a other operation to compleate ( still there are software oprations that cant be paused in order to do another operation) so in order to compensate for the lack of HT, they need more cores. for gaming it was also a benefit when we still had fewer core´s in our systems and there are still games that loose performance when HT is turned off even if you have 8 P-cores, mostly games with simulations in the backgroung. why do you think this cpu´s are just "as fast" in gaming or even slower despite having 9% IPC uplift AND runing on faster ram at the same time. put 14th gen on 6400Mt/s ram on this new chips will be even slower compared to last gen.

[@flxdrv5020]

Not having HT means you have more space on the CPU die. intel used this to make the E cores larger and much faster, the performance loss in HT is gained back with the better E cores, and the cpu is overall actually faster

[@Mervinion]

With enough cores it's more effective to not have HT, but instead rely more on the scheduler to properly assign and switch threads between cores. At least it's Intel's reasoning with AL.

[@BlueScreenCorp]

@@flxdrv5020 Its mostly space for the NPUs, I am not sure if the E-cores are going to be improved with the removal of HT

[@rdnowlin1206]

All in all, what matters, is price to performance

[@squisherderheld]

250W at such a small die size practically means thermal runaway, so this thing will again be running against the thermal limit. Running against the thermal limit means running at the least efficient way, higher temps need higher voltage to maintain the frequency. For short bursts of load that may be fine but if you run anything longer than a couple of seconds you would achieve better perfomance if you limit the power draw and thus have higher clock speeds at lower voltages

Intel should have simply made Arrow Lake on a monolithic die using Intel 3 process, which is competitive with TSMC N3B in areas we care about. It'd likely have been cheaper for Intel both for design and manufacturing, and also performed better. Sucks how much gamers got screwed this gen and it's gonna be like TWO YEARS before either AMD or Intel take a proper new crack at a new architecture. It was bad enough the lack of good value improvements in the GPU space, and now CPU's will join the fray.

pretty sure that most of those efficiency gains is due to the better production node of TSMC and not because of Intel's improved tile design I think it will take another generation or two before they could fully grasp their version of Chiplets and be able to produce designs that could rival AMD's version.

[@maynardburger]

This has nothing to do with their tile architecture being less advanced than AMD's. Quite the opposite, it's more advanced and uses less power. Intel simply made bad choices in their architectural details that will hurt gaming.

while i have little doubt that intel are sound - their comment regarding it can be duplicated clearly means that, they mean very little as the truth is almost every one i know with a i9 or even i7 of the 14th series is using with it ddr 5 7200 and not ddr5 5400. so the i9 performance will actually be some 5% better than what they claim. At the same time I strongly doubt people will be running 265/285k cpus with ddr 6400 even more when several z890 motherboards have cudimm support and therefore it will be normal for intel 265 and 285 to be paired with 8200 or 8400+ ddr5, and assuming the new intel cpus scalle in somewhat similar form to the 14th gen, going from 6400 to 8200 or even more will increase performance also. As such it would not surprise me if those cpus will end up beating the 14900 once paired with higher speed cudimm, like 8800 or 9200, what eventually will happen.

I'll only need to push 4k 120hz and that's about it. I'll be looking forward to the improved efficiency on the new Ultra 9 CPU's, just waiting to grab the 285k. Regardless of what I did choose I'd be expecting significant performance gains over my almost 6 year old laptop lol. That's why I only like to upgrade about every 4 to 6 years. Just save the money and build out a new system on a new Mobo, take advantage of all the new generational improvements. (Faster USB, improved HDMI/DP, faster PCIe, faster NVME drives, faster RAM, ect..) Anxious to get into local work soonish and anxious to get my new system up and going eventually.
