Intel 11th Gen Rocket Lake desktop CPU in early 2021

started ordering the parts for new build, everything bar the PSU and ram getting changed, march 30 might help my wallet recover a bit lol... will probably just get a new PSU as well, waiting for a good deal on fast ram to pop up and will make do with 3200 until then. MrsBS looking forward to getting my old PC

 

Looks like everyone's hoping for a perf boost from final bios.. Their results as is aren't great

 

How are these stores allowed to sell these CPUs? And at launch I'm betting there will be a shortage.

 

Prices for 10th Gen will drop.... currently
$448 = Core i7 10700KF 3.8 GHz, 8-core,16MB cache
$585 = Core i9 10850K 3.6 GHz, 10-core,20MB cache
$620 = Core i9 10900KF 3.7 GHz, 10-core,20MB cache

prices from https://www.ccpu.com.au/show_cat.php?cat_id=cpus

 

That 10900KF is a pretty good deal ATM.

 

I read somewhere the vcore is higher for 11th gen than 10th gen.

 

^^ Yep, that is to be expected, as the silicone is probably on max yield already, and Intel is milking the fab-process cow at the moment, the only way to get a good speed-step out of these chips would be to dump more voltage at it. So one could assume that won’t leave much for the ‘standard’ water-cooling overclockers brigade, perhaps more for extreme coolers though.

But certainly not a totally unexpected direction, this will be a gap-filler until the smaller fab-process is executed.

 

The 11400 rumours are very interesting, might be a little gaming champ there

 

Apparently there's bios updates goin on for z490

 

Sales embargo for 11th Gen is March 30

Got my Maximus Hero XIII arriving tomorrow, a bit premature lol

 

Buy a 10900k in the meantime?

 

30th? I thought the announcement and release date were both on the 16th, going to have to tell the person who wants it that they are going to have to wait another fortnight!

 

Ah crap so intel 11th gen potentially needs to sync with ram now??

That would be enough for me in deciding to stay with 10th gen . Wtf, are we copy ryzen crap IF now?

 

The only way to keep up with Ryzen, is to immitate Ryzen. The ironing is delicious! This is so typical of Intel, they hang shit on the AMD IF "glue" and then they implement something similar.

 

guess it’s not that surprising, Intel hired the guy that designed the Ryzen CPUs

 

Infinity Fabric is about scalability and future looking at how CPU's will need to be utilised/designed, isn't it?

So Intel moving to an IF style is actually good? It means they're looking at future scalability issues under existing designs and a building towards mitigating it?

This is good for bitcoin intel consumers.

 

With all those years of 0 innovation, one is simply left to copying others' design.
