Achoo

hybrid garnet
#

That's one of the parts that people don't really understand, the production plants are running 100% capacity. It's the fact that demand is exceeding the amounts that can physically be produced that causes the current shortage, plus all the other factors.

We should see signs of market returning to normal sometime around the end of this year, and almost normal by the end of next year is my guess. 100% back to normal within 3 years.

A rare honor indeed. Intel should be proud they've achieved this level of suck.

Truth be told, the cpu part of a 10700K (and consequently, also 11700K) slams my GT 730 in the gigaflips

Not to mention the actual igpu

hope they just do 0 to 100 in 12th gen release tbh

#

Who knows, maybe it will be AMD running the show on the top end for the next 10 years like Intel has been doing before.

#

With Intel the new "budget" option kekw

slender shale
#

ah yes, one of my prev. nicknames kekw

#

competition always makes innovation run faster

hybrid garnet
#

Yep. Intel just needs to push all that much harder and do some serious top-down type changes and re-engineering. (Like AMD just got done doing lol)

Lisa Su completely did a number on Intel tho... they were on the verge of bankruptcy a few years back before ryzen was a thing.

I won't be surprised if Intel just goes "this is fine" and gets comfy in second place, while still rolling in the money from their dozens of other products

only if theres no covid there'll be way less workforce shortage

making new fabs to satisfy shortages would prob do enough

#

Well they're working on the new fabs stateside but they won't be done for a couple years

slender shale
#

owh not just intel

#

tsmc too

#

coz the water shortage isn't only applying to them, but to the whole taiwan (based on prob a taiwanese that talks about the water shortage in the country that result in that situation)

hybrid garnet
#

tsmc bought enough water to keep them running through the summer already

slender shale
#

ooo

nova geyser

Yeah the shipped a metric crap ton of water

But intels fabs won't be up and running for a good few years

Hi the law

brazen turtle
#

Im building a PC and theirs an i9 and a i7 in the same price range. Last PC I built was in 2016 around the i5-6600K.

I'm Wondering which one of these would be the better buy. I know the obvious chooce might be the i9 but new doesn't always mean better. And 5 years latter my i5 is still kicking but even though it wasn't the top of the market when I bought it.

I know enough about PC's to build them but have a hard time keeping up with the evolution of it's components.

Appreciate any advice I can get.

Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX806849900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630
Vs.
Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz (4.7 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I78700K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

tawny shoal
#

newer gen and higher cpu

hybrid garnet
#

Only do 9900k if it's cheaper than 10700k

#

They're about the same performance

#

But 10700k has more, newer features

brazen turtle
#

Looking at the 10700K and the price is in the range.
You think it's a better bet over the i9?

hybrid garnet
#

It's the same performance but the 10 series is newer

#

10850k is slightly better if you want cores for streaming or multitasking

brazen turtle
#

LGA 1200 motherboard I guess is the new king for chips and motherboards?

hybrid garnet
#

Z490 chipset will work just fine, most of the Z590 features aren't useful for most people. Anything less than a Z won't let you overclock, at which point you get the non-K processor.

#

"King" for gaming right now is Ryzen 5000 on X470, B550, or X570 motherboard

#

Intel is now the "budget" option, assuming AMDs old position

brazen turtle
#

I'm starting to accept that. Me and my stubborn ways.

hybrid garnet
#

Here's a hard pill to swallow then: The new i9 11900k, Intel's flagship processor, is comparable to the Ryzen 7 5800X

brazen turtle
#

What about refurbished? Would you spend your money on

hybrid garnet
#

Which refurbished? I usually don't have problems with Newegg or Amazon refurbs

mighty musk
#

Anyone know where I can get the 5600x at msrp?

hybrid garnet

Doesn't Newegg only have it from marketplace sellers right now?

I'll check. I'm pricing out on a $800 budget for CPU, Motherboard, RAM, power supply and heat sink.

Tbh all you can see is the cooler so it could he any of the rx 4/500 but probs fine

sharp ocean
#

5600x in regular stock now

#

Still sells out but not nearly at all like before

#

Same with the 5800x

#

Other Zen3 CPUs are a different story

brazen turtle
#

Full disclosure. I built the computer in 2016 for trading. When started trading less on PC my son high jacket it to game. So now I'm going to mix and match to get my computer back and build him something stronger for gaming and streaming.

sharp ocean
#

Cool beans

#

You want to give us a budget and put together a list for a new one?

brazen turtle
#

Im old school but he's been asking for ryzen so I guess I'll get with the times

sharp ocean
#

You remember how not too long ago (5+ years ago) Intel was the high-end giant and AMD was the budget option?

#

The tables have turned, to say the least

#

Intel was starting to gain a little footing but flopped back with 11th Gen

nova geyser
brazen turtle
#

My computer is for day trading. The one im putting together now is for gaming (cod etc.) and streaming

#

Any reason why your promotion leads towards the ryzen 5 over the 7?

hybrid garnet
#

5600X is better value than 5800X, too much more money for only 2 more cores. 5900X is the next step up recommended if you really need the cores.

unborn phoenix
#

BUT just because the 5800X has worse value doesn’t mean it’s a trash CPU
This is a misconception that a lot of the buildapc people fall into

sharp ocean
#

Mhmm

#

Gets real hot tho

#

If you feel like it’s worth your money and you can cool it then go for it

flat swift
#

Not really

unborn phoenix
#

I wouldn’t know
But it must, being that strong

sharp ocean
#

Eh

#

It’s relative

#

Hotter than it should get

#

Imo

flat swift
#

No hotter than your 3800x

hybrid garnet
#

I have a 5800X and it is still a fantastic chip, just not as much performance per dollar

sharp ocean
flat swift
#

Eh, if my 3700x dies I'd replace it with a 5800x

unborn phoenix
#

If I hdmi a laptop to a monitor will the performance decrease
Assuming resolution is the same

#

Performance meaning FPS

flat swift
#

no

hybrid garnet
#

No should be the same

unborn phoenix
#

Ok

brazen turtle
#

The ryzen 5 5600x id my total budget. What do you think about the 7 for more than half the price?

AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000071BOX Desktop Processor

flat swift
#

I'd take the 5600x over the 3700x

hybrid garnet
#

5600X is better in every way

flat swift
#

And I own a 3700x XD

unborn phoenix
#

Imma go see how expensive my dream build is

nova geyser
#

I'd take a 10850k over a 3700x usually around same price, but 5600x of 3700x

Get a b550 if you're going 5600x btw

Whats the difference between coffee lake and comet lake on tbe intel chips?

5600x or 10600kf and by how much

dry nest
#

I mean 10600kf is gonna be cheaper, but that 5600x will perform better by a small bit in most cases

flat swift
#

15-20% in single core and multicore. 10600K gets stomped all around

dry nest
#

Oh I didn’t know it was that bad

#

I thought it was more like 4-5%

flat swift
#

Depending on the test, 10-20%.

true furnace
#

#

Is that even a good benchmark?

#

Last I checked it isn't super behind 5600X, in games at least

hybrid garnet
#

Depends, which MSI monitor were you looking at? Might also consider Gigabyte

Msi g241 for 1080p

Uh different panel I believe

hybrid garnet
#

Is it? Let me double check, I know the model is a digit off

hollow prawn
#

One is KG, the other is XF

#

I assume completely different lines

hybrid garnet
#

I see 7/10 on other sites too, pretty much the same

#

27 inch, same model

#

Well any monitor will display a picture. How nice do you want that picture to look and how many times per second do you want it to display a picture?

#

Yeah figured that out but other sites said the same things, 7/10 below average overall

#

If they're about the same price, the MSI has a higher refresh rate. Displays more frames per second.

unborn phoenix
#

prisma pecan
#

Then why is it that even though I enter the shuffle within the first 2 minutes of it posting every time I still don’t get chosen to purchase? Or is it just like a raffle, you put the names that aren’t bots into a random selector and it doesn’t matter what order we register in as long as it’s within the entry window.

flat swift
half karma
prisma pecan
#

Yeah that’s why I wondered if the order we registered mattered or if it was random once the bots are removed from the list.

half karma
#

it's random, some people just have better luck than others

flat swift
#

Order doesn't matter

prisma pecan
#

I would rather just see it done where we get put on a list based on delivery address, name on payment method, and email to filter out possible duplicate purchasers that way as they come available everyone that registers gets a chance to purchase in order. Possibly also a method to filter out miners by saying provide a description of the gaming computer you plan to use it in or something...

flat swift
#

Miners aren't the issue lol, demand is. People at home, PC sales have been record numbers, up over 20% in the last year.

#

PC's for work, school, fun, etc

quasi roost
#

high demand low production

flat swift
#

Actually

#

Record production as well

prisma pecan
#

At least since NVidia has been trying to reduce miners from buying as many so gamers get a chance to purchase cards to play their games.

flat swift
#

There is no way to sort out if someone is buying for gaming and mining. I do both with my 3070

prisma pecan
#

That’s what they said anyway.

#

I guess that’s true. Regardless if there was a way to just let people buy in order of purchase and filter out duplicate purchasers that would help provide everyone a chance to get one eventually.

flat swift
#

Who says they aren't tho? There's no way to tell. Situation just sucks all around for sure.

prisma pecan
#

The shuffle doesn’t prevent a person or not from having 100 email address and register by driving around to different hotspots or free WiFi’s to register from different IP addresses.

flat swift
#

It does tho

prisma pecan
#

Or bot*

flat swift
#

Mike filters all of that stuff

#

has said so here many times

quasi roost
#

other people too, not just mike but does do it

flat swift
#

Right

quasi roost
#

be crazy if it was just mike >_>

unborn phoenix
#

lol

prisma pecan
#

If they random generate different email addresses and randomize their public IP address by driving around to different Starbucks and McDonald’s free WiFi which lets them submit from different IP addresses then it can’t easily be identified as different people.

#

Agreed it’d be crazy if it was just Mike!

flat swift
prisma pecan
#

I guess maybe I am just not thinking broad enough to identify bot or multiple entry methods.

flat swift
#

You've been listening too much to the doom and gloomers blaming everything on miners instead of the big picture 😉

prisma pecan
#

Gotcha

unborn phoenix
#

this is facts

prisma pecan
#

I just assumed that it was miners since NVidia made the whole thing about blocking miners from 3060’s supposedly initially trying to say they were trying to make sure gamers had them available to them.

flat swift
#

And then released a driver that unlocked it

#

XD

prisma pecan
#

Yeah or a developer did anyway... lol

#

So when cards become available it’s not like there are 30+ of each and they just sell out instantly it’s more like just a few of each.

nova geyser
nova geyser
prisma pecan
#

Gotcha. The mining cards that they are saying are specifically for mining or whatever are insanely expensive also from what it looked like and it didn’t look like they provided any benefit to miners over a regular card.

I've been seeing 3080s selling from retailers at over $1000 (lookin at you wegg)

#

Wasn't that Asus TUF 3080 like $1200 from wegg though? Getting ridiculous when retailers are almost double msrp

#

And the ROG Strix was $1120

nova geyser
#

Oof

lone depot
#

above 1200 isn't

#

Only 3080 that gets close to 1,200 is 3080 strix white iirc

$1,150

Well if you have the money then why not

#

5800x for a 2k build isn’t unreasonable

nova geyser
#

^ no point getting a 300$ 6 core with a absolute minimum 800$ 3080 if they can get an FE

tawny shoal
lone depot
nova geyser
#

Closest is a 10900k with a win at the silicon lottery and OC'd but still wouldn't even compete lol, i do agree that the 5800x is a bad value chip, as the 5900x is only 100 more but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

tawny shoal
#

exactly

tawny shoal
lone depot
#

wdym

#

11th gen leads in some test while ryzen 5 does in others

tawny shoal
#

comparing a 5800x to another cpu isnt dependant on use case rly

#

yeah ofc one wont match up completey

#

i asked which one competes

#

which is really the 10900k

lone depot
#

has ryzen come near the 7.3ghz world record on the 11900k?

tawny shoal
#

speed doesnt dictate performance lol

lone depot
#

well it does show what was focused on in engineering

tawny shoal
#

theres old cpus that are 6 core 3.6ghz, just like my 3600, but do they do near as well? no

lone depot
#

all CPUs arent automatically top tier overclockers

tawny shoal
#

5800x can oc pretty decent too

lone depot
#

i bet that is true

#

i sure hope for the pricepoint

tawny shoal
#

its still way better value than a 11900k imo

lone depot
#

if you are focused on value you are not going 5800x either

tawny shoal
#

ig

nova geyser
lone depot
#

this is true

#

but maybe this hints that it would be a good overclocker in general

tawny shoal
#

mhm

nova geyser
#

Still 11900k waste of sand

tawny shoal
lone depot
tawny shoal
lone depot
#

11900k would probably sit happily at 5.3 all core with the right thermal solution

tawny shoal
#

i bet 5800x would too

#

i bet at least 5ghz

dry nest
#

Realistically you won’t be overclocking to 7.3 anyways, but yeah 5800x is a weird value. 5900x being just 100 USD more was totally worth it for me, thing beats the 11900k in some single core scenarios, and it decimated the 10900k in most single core

nova geyser
tawny shoal
#

mhm

dry nest
#

Plus I personally don’t even need a super high single core speed anyways

tawny shoal
#

i think so

lone depot
tawny shoal
#

exactly

lone depot
#

every person has different uses for there CPU

dry nest
#

Yep

lone depot
#

which is great to have the CPU market competition

dry nest
#

Now if only I could get my hands on a better GPU drake

tawny shoal
#

i run 3.8 ghz all core on my 3600, and my 5700xt is my bottleneck lol

nova geyser
#

Why not just use pbo at thar point

dry nest
#

My poor XFX 8GB 580 can’t keep up with the 5900x

#

But that’s the shortage for you

#

Make due with what’s on hand

tawny shoal
#

yup

lone depot
nova geyser
#

The cpu makes no sense tho

lone depot
tawny shoal
#

crisp chasm
#

There's somebody local to me selling the 5900x and aorus master together for retail price. Brand new, unopened. Do you think it's worth it if I already have a 9900k?

glass mason
#

it beats it in every way but id say the 9900k is good enough for right now and would be best to wait for next platform

#

aka AM5 or LGA1700

#

@crisp chasm

crisp chasm
#

Yeah, I had a similar feeling. Just felt almost too good to pass up. But it's still like 900 bucks, even at retail. And I'd probably need new ram.

glass mason
#

9900k is still similar to a 10700k so you arnt completely outdated

hollow prawn
#

(and 10700k = 11700k because Intel dumb)

hybrid garnet
#

(And 11900k<10900k also because Intel dumb)

charred wasp
#

how about

#

10400 and 11400?

true furnace
#

11400 better

#

Anything above 11600K starts being trash lmao

charred wasp
#

ic

charred wasp
true furnace
#

I dunno, but should be noticeably better

#

UHD 730 in the 11400 is a cut down Xe, has only 24 EUs

#

Probably loses to vega stuff lol

charred wasp
#

ye

#

but i planning on buying a gpu

#

if i can find a good 2nd hand

true furnace
#

Yeah, Intel chips are basically only usable in gaming with a dGPU

#

Their iGPUs are eh

charred wasp
#

but can play valorant?

#

1080p low

hybrid garnet
#

On one benchmark I'm looking at (G3D) the UHD 630 (10400) scored 1419, the UHD 730 (11400) scored 1691, while the Geforce GT 1030 scored 2621

#

The UHD 730 is slightly higher than the Geforce GT 740 (1544), a 7 year old low end GPU

#

This barely beats out the minimum recommended spec for 60 fps, the GT 730 (according to valorant website)

#

So I guess the answer to your question @charred wasp is that you can use it for Valorant but you won't have a good time doing it

#

(The Vega 11, the AMD integrated GPU, got 2132)

But how much FPS could I get?

I wanted to overpass 100 FPS

lone depot

depends on settings

sharp fossil

At high quality

lone depot

No point unless the monitor can output over 60HZ

#

Also cheap is relative

#

budget?

sharp fossil
#

Hmmm

#

1,200?

lone depot
#

you prob could pick one up with a 1650 mobile and 120 hz display

#

you'd have to ask someone more on laptop models, but thats the things you could pick up.

sharp fossil

So 1650 mobile and 120 hertz

Streaming will be difficult if not impossible on integrated graphics like that.
You could wait for the Ryzen 5700G coming soon. 8c/16t and improved graphics processing, making it leagues ahead of Intel.

lone depot
nova geyser
#

Yeah but you still get more accurate info

hybrid garnet
#

Doing it that way aiming for double helps ensure that even if frame rate drops suddenly you're still above the refresh rate, and 1% lows as well.

nova geyser
#

^ that too

viral cliff
#

doesnt make sense tho

hybrid garnet
#

Other way around, if you have a 100Hz panel you should aim for 200 fps

viral cliff
#

bruh i dont got that do i ljust use the 144hz

hybrid garnet
#

Well that's what all the super-competitive esports players will tell you, they use 320Hz screens at like 720p running 600 fps

split terrace
#

^ very very true

#

I just wish I could have a 320 for csgo lol

You need to specify that you're not from us when ppl go looking for products for you btw as availability and pricing is different in different countries, if you mean 125£ that's even more likely that theres one

prime jungle
#

yeah £1 = $1.39 rn

so £125 is more like $173.83
