The 4080 with 12GiB memory may have been canceled Of course nvidia might launch these models later but it would be a bit confusing for the consumers. RTX 4080 AD103 76 9728 12 GiB G6x+ 21Gbps 192bit 504GiB/s 64MiB RTX 4090 AD102 128 16384 20 GiB G6x+...

Did nvidia cancel the AD102 4080ti ? Initially this was posted from an unreliable source RTX 4080ti AD102 108 13824 20 GiB G6x+ 21Gbps 320bit 840GiB/s 96MiB? 450W Lately however we never really got any leak confirming this and nvidia probably doesn't want to release a GPU...

4080 incoming It remains to be see what the exact specs will be, will the full AD103 be called 4080 or 4080ti ? Nvidia might also release a 12GiB version of the 4080 https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-4080-pcb-details-16-gb-12-gb-24-gb-memory-models-rumor/

The Taiwan invasion risk One big issue with waiting for raptor lake is that china might invade Taiwain in october which would very much screw over people looking to buy a new CPU (due to the intel competition being largely eliminated for an extented period of time).

Monolithic dies are better It is often claimed that the chiplet design would allow for lower cost but we there really isn't any great evidence for that. You can get good yield from large dies simply by cutting down defective dies to use for cheaper models. For example ga102 is used for all the...

Summary AMD that used to offer value now really doesn't look particularly great compared to what intel will offer just a months later. Zen4 advantages AVX512 support Better motherboards (more future-proof) Launches one months earlier Likely lower power consumption when undervolted (making their...

Intel likely to offer much better multicore performance per $ Even the 7950x have a hard time beating the 13900K in cinebench R23 multithreaded and it's even worse when you go down in the stack...

The graphics isn't even that special. It's just inefficiently coded, you can make a more impressive game run much better on the last gen. They are not particularly good generally. They are/were overhyped by sony fanboys using them to justify buying a lame console (such as PS4 pro).

Undervolting Seems like you can cut the zen4 power consumption in half without losing any performance, this means no need to upgrade your power supply or get a better cooler. AMD Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" processors can hit up to 95 °C at stock settings, with cooling most appropriate to the TDP...

Cyberpunk 2077 The development of cyberpunk 2077 started well before the existence of next-gen consoles and initially it wasn't even properly released for next-gen systems (it was initially running in a boosted backwards compatibility mode). The game does use multiple CPU threads really well...

Seems like AMD included dolphin emulator benchmark From what i have read dolphin actually support avx512 which does explain the 32% increase in performance. This is all well and good except for the fact that a zen4 would be massive overkill for typical usage even without avx 512, it's simply...

Sony initially claimed that they "believed in generations" and claimed that only making the game for the next gen would allow them to take the full usage of these new systems. The thing with games is that developers have a lot of options available to them to port a game for a weaker system...

Don't let AMD fanboys gaslight you A lot of bad youtube channels are doing damage-control now for AMD. While zen4 CPUs are significantly faster than zen3 CPUs a lot of that is merely due to higher factory clock-speeds which comes with higher power consumption. The main thing zen4 has going for...

AVX-512 It is often claimed that this would not provide a benefit for gaming which is utter nonsense, it is very valuable for emulation which makes it something you definitely want for gaming. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ps3-emulator-avx-512-30-percent-performance-boost Initially you...

AMD only promised to support AM5 to 2025 One argument for getting AMD is that they are committing to support the AM5 socket at least to 2025 (maybe longer) while the intel platform is approaching end of life. https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-am5-support-thru-2025/ I personally do not think we...

DDR5 vs DDR4 Intel has decided to support both ddr4 and ddr5 with raptor lake while AMD has opted for the less consumer friendly route of only giving support for the more expensive ddr5. For people who already bought ddr4 ram going for intel might be the better options since then they can wait...

AMD: we will lose While they didn't openly say that they were going to lose you can just do basic maths on their official performance claim to figure out that intel will beat them again in single-threaded scenarios. Raptor lake will offer at least 10% better gaming performance than alder lake...

The intel gracemont efficiency cores A gracemont cures take up around 33% of the space of a performance core while also delivering around 33% of the MT performance. Unlike the performance cores the gracemont cores does not have hyperthreading so each gracemont core will only offer one thread...

Power consumption According to various leaks intel will at least offer 2 options for limiting the power, one at 125W and one at 253W. The following test does indicate that the pl2 figure of 253W is indeed accurate...

New CPUs from AMD and intel are now coming soon. Both "zen4" from AMD and "raptor lake" from intel. We actually do have a lot of performance data with most of it indicating a slight win for intel in terms of stock performance (including in multithreaded workloads). AMD will however release...
