Intel was Honest For Once - Tech News Oct 13

[@hyrel668]

Can't really know if they're honest until we see independent testing. Them saying there's no performance improvements can still be dishonest if it turns out it's -10% slower.

[@mmremugamesmm]

I would agree that you need independent testing , but in this case they’re not hyping, them up and they’re saying there is no performance improvement. so if anything, maybe they’re just not going into great detail. So I would agree with Paul that there’s definitely less distrust.

@@mmremugamesmm it's interesting that the 5600/x is the budget favourite now, I found it super solid and my niece who does data analysis turned down a great Prime deal on 5950x, saying the 6c is fast enough. Well that was a bad decision as when it's suddenly not fast enough instead of a drop in upgrade to the build, she'll be needing CPU, mobo & DDR5.

[@elysian3623]

@@RobBCactive depends, the 6 cores is fast enough may be because the tools she uses predate the 8 core standard for cpu's we have now, it wasn't that long ago that an intel i7 had 4 cores/8threads and was the market leader, admitted AMD offered 8 cores but they were not really 8 cores, yet, going to 16 cores on the same architecture when you only need 4 to fully saturate you gain very little from actually going over that count, you'd be surprised how many DAW's didn't support more than 4 cores until a few years ago.

And on that day they told me to expect another follow up in one business day… on four business days and counting. They’re either not trying, or just so bad at it and so overrun that they’re basically inept. And the worst part is, prices to purchase new from Amazon have been at all-time low. If they had just offered me even a partial refund three weeks ago, it would’ve saved their own time and money, and certainly would’ve saved me a ton of time and headache.

I remember finding out waaaay back in the 90's that we don't actually own games, we just have a license to play them. I don't recall when exactly, but I think either Nintendo or Sony started including that statement in the legalese statement that came with their games back then. That same document that every single kid went "what the heck is this crap? Booooring." Back then, it was really hard to revoke a license to a game when you owned a physical read-only cartridge containing it. The cart was your physical property, but the data contained inside it was only a licensed copy. With so many games and consoles going digital now, that is no longer the case. Personally, I think any changes to a game's EULA should also require a mandatory full refund if the licensee refuses the new terms. No more of this "I have altered the terms of the deal" crap.

[@richj120952]

We need new legislation though. Sure, you have always have purchased a license to use the software. It is the "revocable" section that needs to be made fair to the consumer. Technically, you could purchase it, and then the software company can immediately revoke your license, leaving you no recourse, and with a loss of your money. That cannot ever be tolerated in the marketplace. What needs to happen is that the software company, when revoking your license must fully refund the money you paid for the license, every cent. Otherwise the CEO and every company officer is guilty of fraud and have a minimum of a 10 year prison sentence associated with that fraud.

[@LateCloser]

Oh yeah, full refund, you'll get that. And when they close shop and file for bankruptcy, you can hold your breath waiting for your check. You'll get it though. They "promise" to refund. Even with a bank-like system (FDIC), you still wouldn't get it.

[@michaeloneill1360]

100% Correct: If a Company takes your $$Money & then Revokes your Right to Use their Product, that's Fraud: Taking Money & Not Delivering a Product or Service!!

[@DamnedSilly]

All you're pushing for is to get them to limit the license further. Instead of 'until we give up' you'll get specifically limited licenses. For $60 we'll promise 6 years. After that you'll have the option to renew... if it's something we feel like renewing. You're talking about laws no one is ever going to pass and that would only ever be a barrier to smaller producers, anyway.

[@markhackett2302]

Well de-facto they are able to do it, but you are able to sue too. In the USA the law is the First Sale Doctrine, and makes this pretence at a license illegal, even in the USA (it is entirely illegal in the EU), because if they shut their servers off, you can't connect. The game still runs, but can't connect. Your claim of physical media doesn't cut it, either, because now the physical media is just a download code, you are still required to connect online and download your copy, what you got is NOT the game. Your best option is go GoG, because you can save a copy and if it stops working on the OS, then it stops working on the OS, but if you installed it on an OS you never change, then the game will keep working.

I wish people would learn that EVERYTHING digital is temporary. It doesn't matter if you "own" a digital product or just have a license. It is vanishingly unlikely that companies hosting the files will do so indefinitely. We already see this with music. I doubt games will be any different. Unless you maintain your own backup copies locally, you can't count on a game's files being available wherever you "bought" it any longer than it's popularity keeps it profitable for the seller to pay for storage and distribution bandwidth.

[@DamnedSilly]

Physical media is not much more permanent in the end. You might 'own' your floppy disks but they degrade over time and, like VCRs, rely on physical readers that are increasingly rare. CDs and DVDs are better, but that depends on quality and is still reliant on available drives. Everything is ephemeral.

[@BobBobson]

Everything is temporary fullstop. If you bought a movie on DVD and your house burned down, destroying the disc, do you still have it? Those people who lost their houses in the hurricanes, how much physical media do they still own? If they buy a new pc they can at least redownload their Steam library for free, instead of having to purchase another copy of everything they already paid for. If the drives you keep your backups on get damaged, stolen, etc. they're still gone. This is also assuming the game works offline at all, looking at you, The Crew. How much are those offline copies worth now that they're just useless chunks of plastic?

@@DamnedSilly Certainly true. I generally buy physical copies of music I want to own, then I rip the cd and pack the cd away until I need to rip it again due to loss of the files in some way.

I wonder if Intel will ever release a hypothetical Core Ultra 200G lineup that uses the Lunar Lake iGPU. It would be a good Ryzen 8000G competitor. A possible "Core Ultra 3 225G" for $100, 4P Cores, 2E Cores, with what is basically an RTX 3050 built in. It would be a killer deal for ultra budget gamers. Turn two $100 parts into one singular $100 part, and half the cost as a result. Here is what I'm thinking: Core Ultra 9 285G - $400 (2.5-5.0GHz, 8P Cores, 4E Cores, RTX 5060 speed iGPU) (obv the 5060 isn't out yet, but you get the idea here) Core Ultra 7 265G - $300 (2.4-4.8GHz, 8P Cores, 2E Cores, RTX 4060 speed iGPU) Core Ultra 5 245G - $200 (2.3-4.6GHz, 6P Cores, 2E Cores, RTX 3060 speed iGPU) Core Ultra 3 225G - $100 (2.2-4.4GHz, 4P Cores, 2E Cores, RTX 2060 speed iGPU) Increases space for a larger iGPU by cutting down on E Cores, and cuts down on cost by lowering boost clocks

[@tim3172]

I wouldn't hold your breath on Intel cannibalizing their own GPU division by selling both parts for less than the cost of one now. Also, what kind of magical unicorn RAM is this using that an iGPU can keep up with a 5060?

[@MidWitPride]

@@RobloxianX If their consumer grade GPUs flop, they can always just use the silicon to make enterprise AI cards. Nvidia has complete monopoly on that now with triple digit % profit margins. At this point gamers and consumers are an afterthought who get the scraps, while the big boys buy all the $30,000 AI cards. And not too long time ago Nvidia had some +2 year backlog on those from reservations alone. They have no reason to even try to compete as more demand there is for their gaming GPUs, fewer chips they have for the enterprise cards where the profit margins are. Expect Nvidia to release ridiculously expensive gaming cards and them to not even care that much whether the things sell or not, and in an emergency they can price drop the 5090 a bit to sell them too to smaller-scale AI clusters as its 32GB VRAM makes it suitable for it if the price is right. If Nvidia could just flip a switch and turn their gaming GPU division to pump out more AI GPUs at 1:1 ratio, they would, and would only make a few token GPU paper launches this generation to keep their brand somewhat alive, while 95% of the production would go to AI cards. But much to Nvidia's dismay, there's more to making GPUs than just chips, so they can't convert their gaming GPU assembly lines to make AI cards, at least any time soon. This is at least my uninformed opinion which I made the F up while typing this.

[@Aaron-zl5gq]

Tbh I only thing there being honest because the numbers are low and stagnate enough to where they really can’t fumble the numbers to much this year just sounds rather meh for CPUs.

[@brianmckee3991]

You know what I wish AMD would do? I wish they'd create a driver that allows us to use two AMD GPUs in parallel, with no cable between them. It has to be doable, right? Then we could buy two RDNA4 boards at half the cost of a 5090 and run 70 percent the speed or something like that.

[@daveg4417]

The new Intel processor low power features I feel are a real plus. I would have bought the 14 core had I waited, but I just bought a different system a month ago. I upgraded my old X99 6950X so anything would be faster. The 13th and 14th Gen sort of soured me on the new 200s and I don't really trust them out of the gate.

I'm not worried one bit about my 13th gen at all. I control the voltages and well no issues after almost 2 years now. Same with my 4090. No melting after almost 2 years and that's also oc 200+ core and 2000+ 24/7. It's a f'ing Christmas miracle 🙄🙄

[@cracklingice]

I care not about the gap between the 90 and 80. I understand that not all workloads can benefit as much from scaling out, that power is a part of performance and that the 90 card will not be twice as fast. That being said - the 70 class is a 256-bit 16GB card just like the 80 class card. Anything 192-bit is 60 class or laptop. Period.

[@billwiley7216]

Intel is at least trending in the direction of less power draw (which will also result in less heat) and if you look at the performance versus the wattage used in that area they are showing a big improvement in performance for the wattage used to get there. Another thing is this is a new architecture for Intel and usually anything new requires several generations to mature into its actual capabilities. Look at the difference in DDR5 ram speeds today versus just a couple of years ago when first introduced and in SSD read, write speeds and even storage capacity as that medium has matured. What pc needs right now is for a top tier GPU company to step forward and challenge Nvidia because without competition in the top tier Nvidia can stagger performance as it wishes among it product line and also charge whatever price they want for that upper tier performance and as a gamer you either pay the jacked up pricing or go to a card tier that does still have some competition in the market. I do think that with Nvidia jacking the 5090 up to 32gb vram they are making a statement the 90 series cards are not really meant for gaming as their primary use and the 80 series is actually their "top" tier gaming card. Rumor does have it that there will be a 24gb 5080 "super" coming at a later date. Whether that Super version will have a further unlocked chip with better closing the gap somewhat to 5090 performance and when it may actually launch and what it will cost are all unknowns as well.

Everyone should be buying AMD CPUs right now. We as consumers need to balance the market. Once we get to a 50/50 market, we will get the best deals because the competition will be better. Nobody should want either company to go under but we also don't want a dominated market. Look at all the BS Intel pulled when they were way on top. We need a balanced market so they can't pull crap like that.

[@prodromosregalides3402]

They are not faster , because they are not heaters for the winter. Who wants a 300W cpu? Even for a gpu , this becomes disturbingly too much. During the previous years , companies had to sell overclocked products because lithography stagnated. We should not confuse ridiculous overclocking with true performance . Everything over 60 watts is not laptop category . Desktop category actually begins with 60 and ends with 140ish . Everything beyond that should not exist , for a number of reasons, including the heater argument , but mainly because the diminishing returns are so low after 140 watts , it is not even funny. Even at 140 watts you get way less than jumping from 30 to say 80watts. So, if this little you get from 80 to 140 is critical for your workflow, then ok . But 250+? Out of the question.

[@jadusiv]

Arrow lake seems nice, but it’s going to be the only chip on that platform?! No thanks. I’ll wait for Razer Lake. I always go for the toc not the tic anyhow. They created a lot of thermal headroom with this redesign. Razer lake will probably be awesome.

Why SHOULD nvidia get to have a nostalgic moment while shafting every owner? Sadly, they have total control and monopoly over the market for now, but the second their monopoly is broken by a reasonably priced, high performing, industry standard competitor, I'm gone. So I guess I'm stuck with them for the foreseeable future. Discontinuing the 4090 is low though.
