Innovate.
For years and years, Intel's approach has seemed to be just add an extra 100Mhz base clock and call it a new model. You appear to be getting largely the same chip on the same process for more or less the same performance compared to a chip from 18-24 months ago.
Meanwhile AMD and Apple have come along with someone new and essentially are eat intel's lunch.
- charwalker 5y agoAnd do it with the same power envelopes as AMD! I can't run a 12600K without upgrading my PSU but a 5600X sips power and runs just fine. New Intel chips are exciting but not practical when it comes to power, cost, and availability not to mention lack of motherboards in the SFF space.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoAs an older Intel user, I don't see anything exciting since Ivy/Sandy, performance is just a few percent, an i7-2600 still won't be outdated anytime soon. Even people with an i7 920 didn't think upgrading to a 2500k was that worth it, and that had a 30% difference https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-920-vs-Intel-Core-i5-2500K/1981vs619 https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-920-vs-I... compared to the 5600X its 32% after almost a decade. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-5600X/619vs4084 https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-vs...
