Anandtech is running their 11700K below Rocket Lake's real world performance... But that is due to Intel's screwed up default settings on non i9 Rocket Lake CPUs where memory is only using synchronous mode at DDR4-3200 on i9, 2933 on everything else.

So real world performance due to latency etc would be better than the review suggests for enthusiasts, but less than knowledgeable builders will be scratching their heads and wondering why the CPU performs worse than Comet Lake in gaming, let alone Zen 3.

so for all SKUs other than i9 it's better to change the settings yourself and run 2933s at 1:1?

E = extreme
A = apex

not talking about strix

Hero . go for that if u are into ram oc.

of not wait and see on b560 lineup

ini bukan fabric garbage.

1:1 vs 1:2 both has its merits.

Ideally configure to 3200 1:1, most users say you could pump it up as far as 3733 1:1, latency should behave around the range of 3800-4000 1:1 on Zen there. Users seem to suggest Intel used shitty default settings as product segmentation to make the i9 look faster to users who don't know how to change BIOS settings.

AT's review was done using default settings and JEDEC spec 3200 RAM timings, so the 11700K should get ~10ns less latency according to Redditors if it were at 1:1. Also note that the Ryzen 5800X comparisons in the AT review is also slightly gimped by the slow JEDEC timings as well.

Ok. Not going to push extreme RAM OC though. Maybe i'll settle with ROG Z590-A.

Very unlikely i'll get B560 though. Want CPU unlocked.

you may not get it but keep a look out for a comrade for a good deal would you?

Just visit the shop and haggle. Motherboards prices are inflated. You'll get some discount.

eh using it on which rig, don't you have 5900x already?

Converting and upgrading ITX to ATX.

Yes, I have 5900X.

asus mobos. other than maximus. i wouldnt buy them.

strix gets nerfed.

Thanks. I'll be checking reviews and specs before buying. All the brands gone nuts with the VRM. I definitely won't buy Gigabyte this round.

My experience with MSI board so far is great for intel.
how is it for rocket lake?

Wonder how will z490 work with rocketlakes. But i guess i wont be buying so soon. just blew a big chunk of money for all the arrangements to go back to SG lolol especially the quarantine

what kind of nerf?
