Very happy with my 5950X. Not changing it until it explodes.

[luigisaguier]

Can't wait for the 7950 vs 13900K or the 7800X3D vs 13900K

[ivanbuendiaaguilar]

All CPUs are at stock settings without any undervolt, or has the Intel 12900k been undervolted in BIOS?

[huntmining]

Okay, so intel system had way better cooling for this test. Makes it hard to trust the results.

[leedex]

I will just stick with my 5950x for now. It’s working fine with my RTX 3080 TI 🙂

[bigbeard]

How are you getting MSI afterburner to report clock speed and temp for the 7950x....I have the same CPU and it seems not supported to reporting by the software as of yet?

[mrphun]

how are you getting such good frams in valorant? I have a 12900k with a 6950xt and in the same scenario I'm getting around 800-900 fps

[yves-]

The i9 is literally 20C° cooler than the R9 at the same or less power.

[strelok]

What you are using for record?
Because frame looks pixelated

[Vintage]

The frame difference between the 3 are negligible at that high a frame rate at 1080p unless you're a championship fps gamer. I'd be interested to know what they're cooling the processors with. Intel have been running hot as shit, so to see it running cooler than a 5950x when gaming is a little ?

[ivanbuendiaaguilar]

It is always said that Intel consumes much more watts than AMD and the AMDs being less watts than Intel, Intel here in games does not consume even 100W and the Intel 12900k is the coldest of all, but it seems that the games also use less frequency on the Intel than on the AMDs that want to use the games with higher frequency.

Even so, how is it possible that the Intel 12900k with a lower MHz frequency and lower caché gets more FPS as the AMDs that use a higher frequency and caché in games?

[ivanbuendiaaguilar]

I also see that Intel is more cold than AMD, and that makes me think that it is not due to the number of transistors at 10nm than AMD's 7nm and 5nm, but I would think that Intel is the most cold because in games it wants to use less MHz and consume less watts or because Intel has less MHz and less cache which probably makes Intel the coolest of them all.

But still, Intel using less MHz frequency and less cache manages to get more FPS than AMD using higher MHz frequency, how can this be possible, Intel should be worse with less FPS but Intel manages to get more FPS, then could someone explain to me how Intel 12900k manages to achieve more FPS?

[Илья-цшч]

Где то Ryzen 9 7950X быстрее а где то медленнее 12900К

[cfif_asd]

Только тут 12900к быстрее, совпадение? 😁

[strelok]

I from future and amd next gen cpus will be something insane, remember!
