It looks like this is the direction nvidia is going to get gains as well.
Context:
– FX-9590: AMD’s hail mary with its Bulldozer architecture. 5 GHz max boost with 220W TDP. Still got consistently outmatched by i5 Haswell CPUs.
– Pentium 4 Extreme Edition: Prescott with factory overclocking, and the predictable results with that. Oh, and it was not cheap either: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/whats-with-the-pentium-4-extreme-edition-why-is-it-priced-so-high.1566733/
> Pentium 4 3.2E Box 1MB 800Mhz HT EXTREME EDITION – Price: P49,950 or $925!!!!!

> The L3 caché was thanks to the Galatin’s core. The new EE uses the Prescott core and has lost its L3 caché. Now, its basicly the same as a 6xx series P4 sauf the 1066Mhz FSB, which does NOTHING performance wise.
What makes all three CPUs even more expensive compared to their competition is needing a motherboard that can handle the immense power draw (the FX-9590 was rumored to outright fry budget AM3+ boards), a higher wattage PSU, and extra cooling (especially if someone wanted a low noise system instead of just using some +7000 RPM Delta fans).
I consider this more of an Intel leaning into the OC scene rather than trying to go for the performance crown.
Dude, meteor lake isn’t half the train wreck bulldozer was.
I should upgrade to the 14900ks so that I can complete my collection and run them all at once to wreck havoc on the local power grid.

What’s wrong Intel, AMD kicking your ass?
Remember when core count wasn’t important to Intel? Remember when L2 and L3 cache didn’t make a difference according to Intel? Remember when lower power consumption couldn’t possibly perform better? Now here we are with 16 core Intel chips that are fair, they suck up almost 400w and they have pretty ok L2/L3 cache. I guess when AMD makes a 7800X3D with a third of the power, massive amounts of cache and all with 8 cores, they have essentially swapped places with Intel. I wouldn’t be surprised if it cost 3x more to manufacture an intel chip.
Fx series was absolutely atrocious.
Dumb person here.
Why can’t they add more of the cache to Intel CPUs like AMD did with the 7800x3d
