Intel Announces 8 Core I9-9900KS: Every Core at 5Ghz, All the Time
I used to be Pro Anandtech and consider them one of the best Sources online for Hardware News. But the fact they have yet write a single post, big or small about Intel's Zombieload and its implication on performance worries me a bit.<p>Then there is the "Intel" benchmarks as usual [1] on GPU. Trying to suggest the 2 CPU were both running at 25W TDP to give a "fair" comparison, without mentioning the Ice-Lake U CPU were running with 50% more memory bandwidth vs the AMD Ryzen. And we know Graphics Benchmarks do depend a lot on memory bandwidth. The memory used was somehow mentioned in Toms or Other Sites but not Anandtech. ( Although none of them had mentioned the bandwidth difference, it was up to the reader to work them out )<p>Anyway none of these Consumer CPU upgrade interest me anymore ( Although any improvement to iGPU would be great ) I am eagerly waiting for a 2S - 128 Core EPYC 2 on a Server or AWS to play around with it.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.anandtech.com/show/14405/intel-teases-ice-lake-integrated-graphics-performance" rel="nofollow">https://www.anandtech.com/show/14405/intel-teases-ice-lake-i...</a><p>Edit: And the lesson here, never trust a single news source. Always have a few option opened and fact check yourself. ( If you have the time )
