While on the upper end, AMD should win pretty handly against Alder Lake and maybe even Raptor Lake in multi-core benchmarks, I get the feeling the mid-range will be a harder sell since Raptor Lake/Alder Lake gives you a lot more cores. Granted they are a mix of big.LITTLE cores but Alder Lake already gives you 6P cores and 4E cores for the price of 7600X and of course, it's being discounted. 13600k is supposed to be 6P cores and 8E cores. It will be interesting to see how it all stacks up but mid-ranged so far is pretty disappointing considering the competition. |
Those were the prices we were expecting before that leak that made the 7600 and 7700 cheaper, and I don't know if it will work well for AMD even if these chips are 25% faster than Zen3 as some leaks/tests say.
And I agree with your core count thesis. I've said before that my goal is to get an 8-core chip, but the 12600K and the upcoming 13600K are enticing because while they only have 6 performance cores, there's the extra 4 or 8 that can come in handy.
Plus let's not forget that Intel will also launch the lower end CPUs, 13500, 13400, etc. very soon after launch, and those also have the potential to kill the market for the 7600X if AMD doesn't do something about them.

Yeah... until priven otherwise, I'm going to assume that this is BS.
Why would anyone launch new CPUs two f*cking weeks before launching the only motherboards that are compatible with them? It makes no sense.
Oh, well, at least we'll get some answers to those questions later today/ early tomorrow.
