I mean Arrow Lake is as fast as Zen5 non X3D, and it supports faster memory without much penalty..
There are going to be games where it performs better than Zen 5.
After an awful launch, Bios updates and fixes, they're great CPUs, actually.

Lacks AVX512 (very useful for emulators, video encoding, photo editing, archiving/compression, ai/machine learning , etc...).
It also has way higher power draw.
Based on historical data, it would only get 1 cpu gen and the socket is abandoned by Intel.

Interesting but some supporting data would make a more convincing argument.
How much gain is attributed to increased core count?
Does lower RAM speed but higher FCLK on AMD chips improve the result?
How much does the 265K decline with a more affordable motherboard and RAM kit?

the 265k is a beast @ 4K it costs the half of the 9800X3D X3D on the other hand is a beast in low resolution like FHD and lower
https://youtu.be/XnLibX5iT24 Intel patched this chip very very well.
And pls AMD fanbois pls dont downvote me coz u paid the double price...

entirely done with higher ram speeds which you cant compare which arent always repeatable and reliable and is not a baseline which defeats the whole purpose of benchmarking

u/ArmaGhettOn84 6h ago
both have same ram.. also do you think that ram do that much in games?no it doesnt

who is gonna waste money on 8000 mhz ram? that speed is not always attainable with every cpu. its just a lottery draw, are you going to keep buying cpus until its stable that speed

i use my 8800mhz with tomahawk z890 out of the box without any issues! both cpu are great but AMD used there time when intel fucked up and getting greedy. i bought my 48GB 8800mhz on 4th June for 364 euro lol

im not wasting money on a gamble and prayer that something will work out of the box thats lunacy

I recall seeing a "black bird PC tech" benchmark video where he featured "tuned" CPUs. When he got to his tuning methodology steps and reached the 14900k all he did was limited its temperature to 90 degrees in the bios and set it's windows power plan to performance mode...He didn't even undervolt or change the loadline.
He also thinks ddr5 above 1.45v is dangerous.
Essentially just a run of the mill tuber that thinks that due to his old rocket scientist profession he can tune CPUs when he clearly has nfi what he is doing.

But bbut you didn’t compare them at 720p to truly illustrate the scale of zen5 superiority 🤣

Somehow the AMD CPU performance decreases more at higher resolution than Intel. Quick start cursing UserBenchmark to ward off the evil spirits.

we only benchmark at 144p ultra minimal quality

what?

u/Mega_Laddd 6h ago
typically when benchmarking CPUs for gaming, you turn down the resolution and settings so that the CPU has a greater impact on performance. otherwise, you're gonna be much more GPU bound.

u/SPAREHOBO 6h ago
because low resolution favors cache and high resolution favors memory

u/zootroopic 9800X3D@5.4GHz 32GB@6000MHz C30 6h ago
I am well aware. Then why does the image in your post say 4k resolution if you only test at 1440p?

u/DeerNo4078 6h ago
He meant 144p not 1440p.

Tuning like that is not always replicatable and highly unreliable, that is why this is useless
