If you're concerned about proportional performance gains, this product isn't for you. So why are you complaining about something you're not gonna buy anyway? Most tech products that are the tip of the spear are bad value for money and less energy efficient than the ones down the range (Nvidia 3090 vs 3080 for example) as they pass the point of diminishing returns of what the design can do and what's cheap and easy to manufacture. But they exist because there is a marke of enthusiasts for whom efficiency or price does not matter, they just want the best performance money can buy because maybe their business use case benefits from the 10% shorter render/compile times at the cost of 50% extra power consumption. Who are you to judge?

To feel better about my non Intel purchase by laughing at the performance. If that is true they should be comparing it to the Epyc 7763 or other CPUs that aren't meant to be reasonably priced. No reason a true enthusiast would pick this CPU over Epyc.

    It’s a self deprecating joke, dude. People make these to de-escalate situations safely. I sometimes really wonder at the social skills of people on this website.

      Some people want to read comments that have something interesting to say, not comments making up for lack of real life friends to bs with. If you attention go somewhere else.

  > they should be comparing it to the Epyc 7763 That's a server chip/line, no? And therefore will have significantly worse per-core performance, one of the most important things for non-embarrassingly-parallel compute tasks? Edit: and after a cursory search, is it not also true that Epyc line is 4-8x higher priced than the 12900k MSRP?
