My understanding is that CPUs have evolved to such a state that OCing is no longer a necessity anymore. Unlike the past, the core count of a recent series i7, i9 or later i5 reached to a number that is more than enough for all kinds of applications & games. Ditto with the speed, as even games are more GPU bound than CPU limited nowadays.
To me PL2 is at the peak performance/power defined. From PL2 state, you'll need to up power like 20% just to gain 10% more performance so for me OCing further than that is pointless unless benchmarking, epeen glory, or dont know what or why they did. Plus now with unlimited PL2, a regular 12700 running at full PL2 is nearly as fast as its K sku at stock full PL2. Just take care of cooling and thats it.
As a caveat, sure, OCing will net some performance gains but how much of that is tangible to the user, as in can anyone easily tell the difference between 200FPS and 220FPS kinda situation. But that is more of a GPU OC scenario rather than CPU OC...
wrong , so wrong.
core count still doesnt helped in most case
even today (per app)
do u know how hard, how complex to have ur software/programme to utilize multicore?
and utilize 2 core and 4core are also completely different story?
u cant split calculation into different core
u can only schedule task to different core
some app like rendering with very simple repetitive task(rendering) can easily benefit frm core count.
in daily case, core count helped when multitasking, running many apps.
this is why 64core 128thread ryzen threadripper is slower in game.
same for intel xeon.
it still limited by single core top speed. not core count.
2nd, OC
oc always a thing, unless u saying DIY OC..
because most cpu today are cone with auto Turbo..
