Also, as Pemalite uses to say every chance he gets, it's also telling how the Z1 extreme is so much powerful than even the Z1 in the TFlops slide, but if you check the AMD announcement of the two chips and compare the performance of both, the difference is much, much smaller. It wouldn't surprise me if the regula Z1 manages higher clocks than the Z1 extreme, and that makes up for a lot of the disparity in specs.
Yeah that doesn't make any good to anyone, neither board makers, AMD nor specially consumers. But it makes you wonder, if both AMD and its borad partners knew about this, why the F did they allow the higher voltages to begin with? It doesn't make any sense other than to be able to claim better performance than the competition in reviews and in posts around the web. |
Honestly it feels like I am going to be in for a performance degradation after this but we will see. This entire thing has felt odd from the start. If it was just Asus, fair enough, they got something wrong. But every motherboard vendor? Like wtf and now this NDA nonsense? As a person that likes to buy hardware and loves pc gaming and benchmarking as a hobby, this is the type of nonsense that turns me off. The 4090 debacle was stressful enough but at least my computer can work without a 4090 for a few weeks if that died. If my cpu dies and I am without a computer for 1-2 weeks waiting for an RMA. Like that is legit costing me real money because I work from home after covid happened.
I am really regretting selling my 5950X so quickly lmao.
