Intel announces 5.5GHz Core i9-12900KS CPU

06 January 2022
That's for a single core - it can sustain 5.2GHz on all performance cores.

Power draw is probably somewhere around 600 - 650 watts

Also, after a point higher higher clocks solely won't provide much of an advantage. ARM needs to improve its GPU architecture, and the lead of x86 architecture may completely vanish. It's actually great that Apple realised thus and that's why Apple's new M1 Max chip has a 10-core CPU and a ginormous 32-core GPU. That size along with the unified memory help immensely, in adding speed. Plus, the smaller node size ensures that the efficiency difference between being plugged in, and on operating on battery, is almost non-existant.

the test should be playing 1 game, coding or rendering at the same time, even old i7 can still run 1 game too.

But redesigning x86 to be more efficient and powerful than ARM is just way more unrealistic than ARM companies providing driver updates for longer.

Imagine your current smartphone is using x86-based CPU and GPU. Sure, you're constantly receiving driver updates for 5 or more years, but I doubt you'd be able to comfortably hold that phone for more than 5 minutes when doing tasks as basic as browsing the web, lol.

kek, 06 Jan 2022"overall lower temperatures." You know this is... moreWith more performance for the same temperature, the AMD can have the choice to lower down the clock speeds to level it on the same ballpark as its Intel counterpart, whilst having much lower temperatures instead.
Regardless of their choice, they surely have a distinct advantage over Intel, and that's due to the more advanced fabrication process used to build their CPUs.

Goddess Lyrienne, 06 Jan 2022Well... to be specific it's a gain of roughly 61% comp... moreYep, a massive boost. Improving from being horrendously crap to something still bad but somehow more usable, lol. How I wish laptops were capable of sustaining high performance without the need of plugging it into the charger to achieve it, just like how the new M1 Macs are doing it, along with super long battery life that one can easily rely on to be used for a day without having to worry about drained battery after just 1 hour of heavy use.

But hey, the games, right? The GAMES! Everyone ONLY play GAMES on laptops!

i wonder what cooling system is needed, or how big the heatsink for this insanely fast processor

The M1 is a very purpose built SoC designed to prioritize all the productivity things that Apple users typically do on their computers. This is great for content creators, but not necessarily a game changer for general computing.

I like how everyone now licks the ARM arch, knowing that SSDs were a much higher upgrade from stupid HDDs and nobody says anything about that, give the M1 Max an 4,500 RPM HDD and it will automatically be a crap computer.

Apple, ok, their M series is monumental, then again it is proprietary and nobody but Apple is using it.

What else do we got over there?

Maybe we need a new processor arch altogether? Photonic computers? What else can we do?

P4 era is back! AMD effortlessly beating them with that lower clock.

Hopefully they get it right (like last time) with releasing the successor to their core series (which is clearly old and dying, much how the pentium series died in the "hands" of Athlons the core series is being killed by Ryzen).

Better off taking bigger die core than mini maggot V6 Vs v12

You know this is a lie, and you can pretty much check this yourself by going to notebookcheck and comparing any AMD laptop vs Intel laptop.

Yes, performance is better, but temperatures are equally bad.
