dm you instead incase intel ever clamps down on them in the futureInteresting which shop is that?
am4 cpus have been dirt cheap for the longest time, i havent paid more than $250 over the past 3-4 years for any of those including 8core x3d like the 57x3d. even for am5, u can easily find 78x3d for $350 nowadays which is cheaper, draws significantly less power and still faster for gaming than the 270k+. that said, the 270k+ productivity performance is undeniably flagship for a killer price, which is quite funny since that was how ryzen started outamd $400+ has been giving us their 6 cores class cpu, i checked my receipts since 5600g for last 5 years

Not sure if this will come to fruition, but it is a very good idea by Intel if they choose to breathe life into the older platforms. There may not be a flagship CPU for this but even if it is as close to the 270K+, I think it is a winner.According to techpowerup, 270K+ is faster than 7800X3D in some game titles. 270K+ should have been the 265K all along. That said, Arrow lake is dead and on a EOL platform but it gave current 800 platform users a new last-minute update to their system.
better just make a Bartlett Lake work on Z690/Z790 but they won't do thatWell, they see AMD AM4 still alive and kicking and still selling, bringing back 1700 raptor lake might be a good idea. Raptor lake is still quite fast compare to AM4.
can you see CPU biscuit on that ITX board?
Yeah they gave me the RMA stuff early this week, I just havent had time to print out all the labels for FedEx.In the new RMA system approval is faster than it is used to if you say the right things (i.e. no OC, tested different CPU, latest BIOS, no RAM OC), despite cutting of manpower and using Copilot to reduce manpower needs.
From ticket creation to receiving your replacement.
It is fortunate that the cost cutting did not result in support loops.
How goes OC now that you've had it for a while?There's no CPU Force 3 in MSI MEG (ITX)
I haven't seen the curve, but at default settings VID of 5400MHz was 1.211V I think.
Haven't overclocked IA Cores for a long time ago since moving from a ITX custom loop 5.3GHz 8700K to Dan A4 SFXHow goes OC now that you've had it for a while?
