Bad news for Arc, and as expected... its the software stack




For older & new lower end budget builders (ironically the segment that B580 is targeting) its advisable to wait until Intel gets it right. But it may never happen too (Nvidia never resolve their driver higher overhead issues but it was never this bad either).

Lets see how the fanbois try to deny this

new stock cooler. RM2 RH2

Imho RH1 & RM1 looks much more appealing & RM1 would be a much better cooler to keep it on if only the outer fins were made of metal like RH1.

RH2 & RM2 looks more like OEM solutions that you find in business PCs. Its design has regress backward despite its slightly lower noise.

Basically clearing stocks as Battlemage series & Core Ultramen is not in the list.

Ps: they didn't adjust the purchase eligibility period so still between august and October 2024. As the title was delayed twice by ubishit till march 2025 so inhell had no choice but extend the redemption period.

Basically you no longer eligible if buy inhell products now

And there's already another latest offer, get selected processor to get CIV 7 and AC shadows between Jan 22 to mar 31. Sadly only desktop 14th gen and ultra 2 K models are eligible

Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen Vmin Shift Instabilty Update - New Microcode Update (0x12F)

LOL meaning previous microcode didnt fix the issue? So how certain are they this new one will finally fix it?

I read Intel price cut certain processors. Does it affect the price for such processor in Malaysia?

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-drops-cor...w-starts-at-284

price cut here normally lags by half a year

Either will come much later or distros makan the margin gap and maintain prices with excuses of tariffs, RM getting shittier, USD getting stronker, petrol subsidy removal, egg subsidy removal, blah blah blah... (pick whichever they want to use).

TLDR; dont put your buying decision on expectation it will come.

I am for intel at first. My current pc lasted years under intel with no issue so was hoping intel would wise up with their price and give a competitive value processor. Looks like I have to go to amd for the next few years.
