The thing I hate about Blender CPU benchmarks is that nobody uses Blender to render on CPU -- the GPU will always be preferred because its so much faster. Blender benefits from higher IPC than increased multi-core performance. Blender CPU benchmarks are irrelevant for understanding 3d/render performance because in practice, nobody uses it. Also checking Blender's opendata benchmarks -- seems NOBODY has uploaded a single test using ONEAPI/iGPU in Blender so we can see how well the integrated ARC based iGPU perfroms in the mix.

I have an old Dell 8930 with a i9 9900 and RTX 2080 GPU with an Eizo 4K monitor which I use to process photographs. This computer processes images just fine in Photoshop. However, it is challenged when using Capture One as manifested by a noticeable delay when changing settings in the program. Programs such as DxO Pure RAW 4 that draw on the GPU require shutting down Photoshop and Bridge to run efficiently. My point is that Photoshop isn’t the weak link in the chain when it comes to limiting performance in applications that photographers frequently use. It would be much more useful to know how well Capture One, DxO Pure RAW 4, and Lightroom’s noise reduction algorithms run on a 285K. Thank you for your consideration of this topic.

Do you recommend the 14th gen even after all the issues from the year? I know they recently released another update that is allegedly now resolving all issues but can we trust Intel? I was considering upgrading my rig this year at the same time the intel issues popped up then considered switching to the 7950X, but the 14900k is such a great bargain on the price. I guess I could buy an extended warranty with Newegg and hopefully never have to use it but that might give me peace of mind. The only reason I'm considering the 14900k is so as to not switch platforms, so it would be cheaper than hopping on AMD. Either way, I was planning on pairing it with a 4080 super. I mostly do 2D and 3D illustrations, with Clip Studio Paint and dabbling with Blender. I also recently started fiddling with animation but these are super short, like a gif length, to play around with it.

That TILE BASED design that Shintel ridiculed as "glued together" back in 2018. SHINTEL is also cheating in PWR consumption by secretly requesting additional PWR through the 24-PIN connector. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is still the No.1 fastest gaming CPU eats at max of 86 Watt of PWR as a CPU die alone. This Ultra 9 285K cheats by hiding the true PWR consumption when in reality it eats only around 15 % less PWR than the i9 14900K. SHINTEL ditched the Hyper-Thrading due to high PWR consumption, too high TEMPS and numerous SECURITY issues via HT.

You are way too invested in this bro. AMD doesn’t care about you.

@@Felale Haha....I know right, buttercup....truth about how Shintel is inferior and stealing technology, is hard to accept :).

Wanting to upgrade from 12700k to 285 or 14900k... After Effects 90% and 10% gaming. Does it really worth the extra money ? Would be grateful for an opinion

[@theTechNotice]

14900k much better for your money, don't need to change RAM and mobo! :)

[@mikexirou]

@@theTechNotice Thanks I intend to tho, gonna sell the 12th gen case and go ddr5

[@o.b.a6035]

I think in the 3D benchmarks, the results are very good but the problem is the crazy wattage that comes with it when it comes around 250W that's not ideal at all

[@BravoSixGoingDark]

My i7 4790k needs this.

[@graysonpeddie]

I could see myself using this CPU for Blender but then I would be using my RTX 4070 in my Linux machine for Cycles rendering.

[@tmmehedi]

Can anyone please explain me what kind of benefits it gets without Multiple threads in Intel?

[@cmoneytheman]

cooler

[@florin604]

It's the only way they could make safer...

[@ContraVsGigi]

I think they should run memory with up to 10 000 MT/s, not the old 6400. These will benefit from faster memory.

[@GhOsThPk]

Interesting how you didn't put the 9950X in the comparison but made sure to include the 9900X, which have literally have HALF the total amount of cores the 285K have, you shill.

[@Felale]

9950X costs a lot more so it’s in a different class and AMD didn’t send one.

[@GhOsThPk]

@@Felale It doesn't cost a lot more, they're comparable in price by MSRP and the 9950X already received a price cut and you know it, those two processors are direct competitors and it makes no sense to not include a 9950X when you're comparing the 285K. So, just because AMD didn't send one he won't include it but will include a 7950X and a 9900X? Interesting.

[@WaspMedia3D]

@@Felale Current prices its a $10 dollar difference. $599 for 9950x and 589 for 285k ... not sure you financial status, but $10 isn't a lot to me, and I'm poor.

What happened to the 9950x, it should be there.

These are basically fixed versions of 13-14 chips

[@Alex-wg1mb]

@@cmoneytheman I would not buy them either. Or wait at least 4-6 month so they iron out bugs and other stuff. AMD 7000 series are ok with discount.

[@cmoneytheman]

@@Alex-wg1mb I was having drops in kill zone rpcs3 10k resolution with my 12400, and my fps would drop to 40s and back to 60. With my 12700, I hardly get any drops using the same resolution. Timespliters dolphin 8k I got drops using 12400. I no longer get those using the 12700. LFD2 would give me drops to the 60s from 120fps using multiple graphic mods using a 3080 RTX/12400. I no longer get those big drops with the 12700. This cpu is a monster. I didn't expect it to stabilize my FPs so much, but I was hoping it did.

[@nivea878]

doesnt matter they want sell well, unfortunatelly

[@Vergil20000]

Intel Core Ultra 200 series is actually better than the 14000 series, why? The power consumption and the thermals of the 200 series is actually better. 40-60% lower power and up to 20% lower core temperature in a real-world usage. Intel is actually getting better again; in the future it will overtake the AMD and take over the market lead again. And note that the Intel 200 series is now using 3nm chips from TSMC, the same manufacturer the AMD uses with their flagship 4nm chips.

[@scudsturm1]

do u have the 8000 series G cpus? test their igpu with the one from 285k

[@martinmdl6879]

You said Ultra 200 has the same IGPU as 14900K. Intels new notebook CPU was released with a much better IGPU. What is the future of Intel desktop?

[@drbeardo6960]

So We gotta wait for Davinci Resolve optimisation for new intel chips...😅

[@Lamar-yw1cq]

Is the core ultra 7 265k good for workstation

[@zaptiezip]

Is the u5 245k viable for productivity in its price range or is there anything better ?

This is what you get these are fixed 13/14 chips

[@Ro7770]

Bro did the Arrow Lake review ahead of zen 5 while those chips are out for almost 3 months 💀

[@blackbirdpctech]

Very poor choice for memory ... doesn't make sense to select the speeds that you chose ... the "officially supported memory speed" argument doesn't have any technical merit when, for example, DDR5-6000 works on every AM5 platform.

[@Bass.Player]

The memory controller on my 12600k is much better than my 14600k. Tighter timings and voltage.. Weird, i must have a golden sample 12600k?

[@GregM]

Here in Canada, the Core 2 245K is $440 + 12% tax on top. Is 1851 socket a dead end platform that is only for this generation? If it was not I would think Intel would use it as a marketing plus point. Power usage is not always a key point everywhere in the world. I am looking for a productivity rather than a gaming system for a friend whose system sorely needs replacing. The issues that this CPU had with some motherboards and benchmarks I hope were more due to engineering samples that were fixed in time for retail release. I have been building AMD & Intel systems since Pentium 133 days and quite frankly these days the system build flame is wavering. It seems that both Intel and AMD have fubared the product releases.

[@Orincaby]

Intel, good job handing the crown to AMD overnight
