The Last of Us is one of the most multi-threaded PC games to date, can use up to 16 CPU threads

I saw it eat up more than 16 CPU Threads on my 12700KF using Afterburner overlay lol

Upgrading from 9700 to 13700 with RTX4070

Once you go 2K (which is where 4070 should be played) there is negligible difference between 9th & 13th gens. To me unsurprising really cuz gaming requirement hasnt gone past the need for 8 cores CPU yet so that 9700K still has a lot of room to play perhaps in another year or so when games recommended spec is 8 Pcores and thats when the additional Ecores in 12 & 13 gen will help it pull ahead.

More details on MeteorLake revealed and as I expected it is an underwhelming successor to RPL refresh



Clearly this will always be up to i5 level family as its limited to 6Pcores. For context its kinda like Broadwell gen family, if anyone remembers it, as the pariah inbetween Haswell & Skylake.

As I have mentioned b4 the true successor is ArrowLake (ARL), going back up to a proper 8 Pcores.

Will still be an interesting CPU to compare to something like the 13600K with its similar 6P+8E config.

Can make a direct IPC comparison by normalizing clocks between the 2 and benching them when it releases.

Perhaps so, but as a gaming CPU not so much. If this is the roadmap for Intel, as long as AMD doesnt stuff their 8800X/8800X3D launch it will wallop the MTL generation.

Intel Meteor Lake CPUs Rebranding: Transition to Core Ultra Confirmed

Yes, we are making brand changes as we’re at an inflection point in our client roadmap in preparation for the upcoming launch of our #MeteorLake processors. We will provide more details regarding these exciting changes in the coming weeks.

Not a single consumer asked them to change it.

This must mean a certain fruit named company threatened intel with a lawsuit.

The more bombastic the name is, the lesser real world performance it can actually do.

hands itchy...

get now 13700k system or wait next series?

any big diff later? performance.. price... etc...

wait for faster DD5 ram price stable first.

ooh.. i tot with current price and speed ok already...

but how fast is faster?
6000mhz still not fast ke? price expensive a bit je compare ddr4, same gb...

wait a bit lah 8000mhz clk 18-24 maybe.

I don't think anyone is selling since other brands (eg. Thermalright) are so cheap and performance are similar as tested by Gamers Nexus previously. I use Thermalright for my both 13900K & 13700K, can get dirt cheap, around RM30.
