Going to buy a 13700K and drop inside my MSI Z590 Ace when it launch. 

Big differences between ES and Retail units.ah yes engineering samples are totally 100% the same as retail units.
are they at least the same clocks as the offical spec?

higher speed means will run hotter and less efficiently, so cannot just anyhow claim those based on es.Lower specced actually, retail units will be able to run higher speed and better bins.
i was being sarcasticBig differences between ES and Retail units.
ES units and Retail units behave differently in terms of overclock and IMC performance with respect to voltage required and used. And don't forget that once retail units are out, board makers are ONLY going to tune and support retail CPUs. So either you figure out which bios works best for ES early and stick with that if you wanna keep that CPU or go retail and enjoy the microcodes and bios updates that will frequently come out for performance and stability improvements.

how to know when independent reviews are not out yet?
Shhhhh dun so loud... mine can support 13000/14000/15000/16000 series.Wah your Z590 mod ah. I thought only 1151/1200 for Z590 and LGA1700/1800 for Z690/Z790.

My advice will be to take all leaks with a pinch of salt, no matter who it is from. Simply owning hardware is completely different from having the skill to perform accurate analytics.
Having early samples on hand simply means that the leaker is related to an associated corp that allows them to get their hands on it. It says nothing about their skill in analytics or ability to create and follow a proper testing methodology, it could have been done in a highly scuffed manner for all we know.
Anyone tried 2h22 update for win11? no major issue?
Analytics u say is easy but how come they never teach you not to draw conclusions with sample size of 1?Up to you lah lol. I lazy argue. Just know enough that it will push ahead of zen4 and a good enough perf increase from 12th gen.
Performing accurate analytics not even a hard skill to develop. I don't even follow most major tech sites/youtubers because most of their setups not even configured correctly to keep up with the times, and they ignore scaling past stock perf, either via undervolting or overclocking.
Updated in the first attempt on my new 12 gen built and encountered BSOD. Anyway, the new system wasn’t stable in the first place.
Decided to create a new boot media with 22H2 and reinstall, working fine and monitoring now.
This one need dry ice for cooling?Sorry ah, slow news but holy crap.
I haven even smell the 13900k yet
Intel Core i9-13900KS "Raptor Lake", The World's First 6 GHz CPU, Launches In Early 2023
According to Intel, the 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs were never officially planned for launch until 2 years ago when the plans for the Meteor Lake desktop slipped a bit. As such, the engineering team decided to offer an intermediate CPU family, now known as Raptor Lake, to be launched after Alder Lake and optimize the foundations set by Alder Lake, Intel's first Hybrid CPU design. The result is a massive bump in clock speeds which makes the Raptor Lake family the first to feature a 6 GHz CPU and also achieve overclocking frequencies beyond 8 GHz after more than a decade. The first 8 GHz confirmation was reported by us a few weeks back which you can read more about here.

You think only 1 sample of ES is being tested worldwide?Analytics u say is easy but how come they never teach you not to draw conclusions with sample size of 1?

Some links to these numbers? Matique claim he had unreleased ES numbers but never show hand. I cant seem to find anything except Intel's reports. Which like AMD reports should be view with cautionYou think only 1 sample of ES is being tested worldwide?
People who are already testing these CPUs and we have indications on what these numbers are. Take it with a grain of salt or you can just wait for the reviews to be out and make your own decision.

Well for eg claimed here there is lower power draw but everything i have seen from leaks and official announcement is higher power draw. Stuff like this just makes me wonderThese numbers are not to be released. You either take it with a grain of salt or wait for official reviews. Why should we post screenshots of numbers if it gets testers with ES samples into problems of breaking NDA?
If you want link to numbers, I advise you to wait for the official numbers.
