From laziness to narcissistic, quoting myself, but am surprised that I still haven't been able to find this. Almost exclusively reviews on Z370 boards with i7 8700Ks... one 8086K and the odd X299 platform. No AM4 love? Guessing its going to be a case of waiting on gaming benchmarks for the i7...

Hopefully more about searching having been frustrating on a mobile phone rather than laziness, but... Has anyone come across any apples-to-apples benchmarks in these reviews that have 2080 Ti numbers using both Coffee Lake and Ryzen CPUs?

Would 3200 14-14-14-34 be worth it over 3200 16-16-16-36? I've seen kits with both specs that are listed as running at the stated speeds in the QVL for the B450 boards I am looking at, but the CL14 has a A$70 price premium.

"Proper" memory being the kicker locally, and taking 16gb of DDR4 from $250 for an Intel system to $340 for an AMD system here. Definitely appreciate their review, but taking away that frequency advantage, with the extra core and thread count its still pulling up on par with the supposedly...

To again be too gaming-centric, are there any indications or logic to the idea that Zen 2 would see latency improvements to the Mesh interconnect, assuming Ring Bus latency is where Intel is getting an advantage in gaming? While admittedly on much older hardware than the OP, I had all but...

Given the speculation that the 9700K will see an increase to 8 physical cores and the loss of hyper threading, and the comparisons that were originally drawn between the 7700K and the 8600K, I was curious if there are actually use cases where sacrificing a few physical cores for more than a few...

So based on your attachment, if Skylake-X is selling really well at 1%, then Threadripper is also selling really well in your opinion? I don't understand what you mean by pro-AMD store, or pro-AMD country. What are you basing this on? A store that sells both brands, yet... markets AMD more...

Any chance that the 9000 series CPUs will just be the 8000 series with the hardware fixes for Spectre and Meltdown Intel promised by year's end? Cannot help but feel a 9700K is going to open a wound for anyone that splashed out for a 8086K, and then pour salt in it given in theory its going to...

I'm not sure I understand the argument there, so more Devil's Advocacy. How is paying extra for a better binned 8700K marked as a 8086K, that much different from paying extra for a better binned 2700 marked as a 2700X? Or any more or less a for profit company, acting and reacting as a for...

Appreciate what you're saying here, but am curious if said 8 core desktop CPUs featured on the charts linked one post earlier? To play Devil's Advocate (for Intel today... AMD tomorrow), I hope its not too contentious to say that while the i7s may not the best bang-for-buck, they take the...

A little bit of thread-necromancy, but quote for truth. Hardware Unboxed: Does Ryzen Require X470 for DDR4 Overclocking/Tuning? X470 vs. B350 vs. A320 Tweaked memory results didn't seem quite as impressive as last time around, but maybe that's due to the 2600 getting some additional uplift...

Or could this be part of the reason they have flagged it as a "limited edition"? This is one of the things that has me wary about upgrading to Intel right now - what their product lineup is going to look like in the next 12-18 months, and not wanting to end up feeling like how I imagine someone...

Thanks for that, will have to go back over the B350 options. Even taking into account the lack of overclocking on a 8700 non-K, the difference in price between a B360 and Z370 here doesn't seem to be equivalent to the savings between a B350 and X470. I suppose my concerns there were around how...

I was really looking forward to the Hardware Unboxed Ryzen 5 2600 vs. Core i5-8400, 36 Game Benchmark Battle video given my P55 motherboard is showing signs its about to take the choice of whether to continue the perpetual wait for the next generation or not out of my hands, and wanting to...

Not sure if anyone has posted this or the Hardware Unboxed video, but I found this interesting. TECHSPOT 4GHz CPU Battle: AMD 2nd-Gen Ryzen vs. Intel 8th-Gen Core - Instructions Per Cycle Shootout
