AMD just became the losers.

New intel CPUs are cooler, way faster than AMD, and same price. So now intel is a very clear winner at eveything - a knock out blow to amd. A new leader...

I am going to upgrade in jan/feb depending on pricing. 12900K and new m/board, and new type memory and same old beautiful glass case/power supply and water cooling. Inc graphics.

Well it's nice to see Intel get back in the game!

In the RETAIL cpu market, AMD has been hammering Intel. This is the best release from Team Blue in quite some time. Congrats! Competition is good.

Not buying yet though till they ort out the inevitable early adopter issues. Its a very different way of doing things. So will wait till board manufacturers, windows 10 and 11 get their acts together properly. And then also prices shuld fall even further for the cpu, and esp for the 1080 nvidia cards. That 1080 is essential for 4k gaming. It allows 60 to 70 fps with its new method of upscaling enen 1440 games to 4k. And great on native 4k stuff like microsoft amazing new FS with all the details turned up to max. Its almost twice as good as the previous 1080, 2080 cards. At the same launch price. No 5% gains here!

4K gaming NEEDS this level of CPU and graphics card. Non of the lesser cards can cope with 4k gaming. And/or a slower cpu. Although right now its around £1.1k plus CPU £600 and m/b and mem.
