Zen 4 will basically be forgotten when Zen 4 vcache gets release in q1 next year.
Jack Carter
how about neither.

Bought a 12600k and a 3070ti earlier this year as prices were going down. Prices haven't actually changed more than $30 over the last 6 months. Glad be the set for a long time, but I'm still gonna try and get a 4080 and maybe a 13600k over the next year or so.
Noah Ortiz
and? it'll get fucking OBLITERATED by the 13400 for less
Lincoln Morales
So instead you pay the dead motherboard platform tax lol
Hunter Ortiz
I will pay any amount of money just to not use Intel and be tied to Win11, since Raptor Lake is basically doubling e-cores on any sku that already has them and introducing them on any other that didn't. Which also prompts a weird thought in my head. Will the 13100 be another 4 performance cores, or will it be 4 performance 2 efficient cores? Or would they actually do something insane and make it 6 performance cores? But yeah, but even the 13400 will have the current 12600k config of 6 performance and 4 efficient cores.
Alexander Nelson
Intel revenue is down the shitter so they're forced to raise Raptor Lake prices, and they will keep losing in every metric.
Even if a 13400 launched at $299 it'll be far cheaper than a 7600x thanks to not needing DDR5. And it's likely that it'll come out at $250 tops, which is still much higher than the current 12400. AMD literally trying to be the jew to outdo the jews.

>The i5-13400 has a maximum boost frequency of 4.10 GHz, while the i5-13500 comes with 4.50 GHz. The intelaviv jewing begins, Zen4 already won before the fight even begun.
Anthony Edwards
The price difference between a 12400 and a 12500 is about $17 right now. Might be $30 for Raptor lake, but seems like it'll be worth it
Dylan Fisher
So is dedicated sound cards a relic thing anymore? By that I mean can you tell a difference anymore between the onboard audio chip and say the Audigy. I dunno I feel like something is missing whenever I play music on my computer from how it was when I used to have an Audigy 2 ZS back in the day.. Maybe its just me.
