Do you water cool or air cool Raptor Lake. Which one do you own and what RAM. What are your max temps? Just a gut feeling but trying to air cool these things is probably a bad idea. And probably best to keep temps 65C or lower at all times...

Not so sure on Intel fixing it with micro code update with 13th Gen. I have even manually underclocked and had slight undervolt and differnet voltages applied with a 13700K and styill experienced weirdness issues anb instability at even enough...

At least the CPU was killed right away and you can RMA or return it then correct the SOC to be lower with a new CPU. With Intel CPUs, they may work then BSODs or WHEAs down the road and wonder WTF is going on. Well degradation and random errors...

And better yet, no random errors! https://hardforum.com/threads/13900k-out-of-video-memory-or-bsod-during-shader-compilation-in-two-ue5-games.2031265/

Yes its normal due to memory training on bootup. You can enable Memory Context restore and it will speed it up. However I leave it disabled as I use XMP and conservative (my own less aggressive higher numbers based on Buildzoids ones so not...

It can be an issue if game threads do cross CCDs. Fortunately they usually do not thus your statement that dual CCD CPUs are still great for gaming. But when they do a bnig dip in 0.1% and 1% lows in most games which is not good., Though why...

Is there really advantage of more cache on 7900X vs 7700X mean anything when the only reason the 7900X has more cache is because it has 2 CCDs vs one but each has same amount of cache. I mean any advantage of more cache only because of an extra CCD?

E-core generate more heat by die mm no ? In your example, is it not just because in both scenario, they max out on their temperature anyway and you could be doign the same with more p-core and have them run in a more efficiant window power wise ?

Which games marginally benefit form more than 8 cores? Would it be Cyberpunk Spiderman Remastered and its addons like Miles Morales and The Last of Us Part 1 and Starfield and Dragons Dogma 2 be such examples of games that may marginally benefit...

Thats only because the 8 P cores without the e-cores clock higher because of more thermal headroom. 12 P cores all would clock lower to compensate in all core workloads and have similar power draw. Its like all cores on 7950X clock lower than all...

1% and 0.1 lows tank because of it. I mean look at benchmarks and see how 7700X outperformed 7900X and 7950X because of dual CCD issues in early Zen 4 benchmarks Intel could have 10-12 P cores no problem as 1 P core is similar in power to 4...

Yeah that link is about overclocking degradation, but it seems Intel is more affected than AMD. Have AMD Zen 4 users experienced it and if so as fast as Intel users. And Any Zen 3 or Zen 4 degradation from just curve optimizer? Or only sttaic OC...

Its got dual CCDs so cross CCD latency penalty which is not good in all situations and need to use stupid XBOX Game bar.. Why oh why is there no CPU with more than 8 P cores on a single ring/CCD? Well there is the 10900K with 10 cores on a...

Bingo after trying so many 13th and 14th Gen CPUs, they have degradation and stability issues. You absolutely need a 2 DIMM board and please no Asus for faster than 6000 RAM and if even that. AMD is more stable and better and uses much less...

I build PC since more than 30 years, I doubt that I lack skills ;) Stabilizing Intel requires too much time and most of the time the stability is only apparent because some "others workloads" may fail. Stabilizing for AVX2 requires the CPU to run...

And a lot less power usage and heat, during gaming

I had a 13900K and I upgraded to AMD because the 13900K was unmanageable even with a quality 360mm AIO, throttle fest after some minutes of intensive tasks. I don't see the stutter because there is no stutter.

Yeah why did Intel intend to fuse it off. What is worng with just leaving AVX512 as an option for those who disable e-cores as it works without them. And it can just be disabled automatically when e-cores are on at stock. Any reason other than...

Let's not forget that Intel did make a CPU with 10 even, full-performance cores a couple generations back. Didn't it also have AVX512?

Yes they did 10th Gen Comet Lake the 10900K and 10850K all on a single ring bus. And it had its own die I believe where as the 10700K and below had a single die with lower SKUs and parts disabled I think? Shame they do not have something current...
