UserBenchmark: "The Intel Core 14900K is a 24 Core processor, and the fastest CPU in the world. It has a massive 6GHz boost clock, which is much higher than the Ryzen 7950X3D's boost clock of 5.7GHz. Gamers or Creators will have very little reason to look at the 7950X3D or the 7950X due to it costing $100 and performing roughly 10% in single-core and multi-core. However, an army of AMD's idiot baboon fanboys like Gamer's Nexus and Hardware unboxed will still try to convince you that the 7950X3D is actually worth it, and claim that Intel's 14900K experiences 'stability issues', even though that is only typically the result of extreme high overclocks. Even with the baseline profile, the 14900K beats the 7950X3D in single-core, which further proves the worthlessness of AMD's processor, and the fact that Ryzen CPUs are no better than Bulldozer CPUs. An average user or gamer should not look at any of AMD's processors, as doing so will only result in disappointment due to lower performance, more instability and worse software."

Gotta love how the "intel baseline" isn't the same across motherboard vendors. Almost like the intel baseline isn't provided by intel but cooked up by each vendor on their own. Also it's worth noting that SVID set to intel fail safe runs more Vcore than the ASUS default settings for any scenario that doesn't hit the power limit. Gigabyte's intel baseline profile does the same. Most gigabyte boards use AC_LL and DC_LL of less than 1.1mOhms on default but with the baseline profile the AC and DC_LL get set to 1.7mOhm which raise the core voltage for any workload that doesn't hit power limits.

@marcelcoetzee7152 Месяц назад

The part that bugs me is that these kind of thing have been a rule and not an exception for a while and there seems that there haven't been blatant issues up until now. This bugs me because it narrows down the potential issues to be likely something along the line of a bad batch or suppliers of materials or even worse a known design flaw somewhere within the chip. I can also get why they would be cagey about it because of the possibility of some kind of class action involved as well. If you tell people they are buying "top of the line" type parts and then they end up with the same performance as a middle of the range I7 (Don't quote me on that, I haven't checked it up again) due to how power limits magically need to be enforced now that is going to make a lot Intel buyers start frothing at the mouth. Also it means we should probably rename the Intel baseline specs to "should-have-bought-AMD-mode". I know I am being really cynical and sarcastic but this is going to have serious consequences for some people. Lasty , dumb question has been bugging me. Has anyone seen any positive or negative correlation between cooler power and the issues with these chips? I cant figure out if having better or worse temperatures would mean more wear on the CPU in this situation. Is lower temperature but higher voltage equal or worse than higher temperature lower voltage and throttling for these CPUs?

Overclocking used to be a deliberate choice - one for people willing to risk stability and deal with higher power, for marginal gains. But these days, out-of-factory overclocking seems to be the new default, and you need to deliberately go and limit everything yourself to get back a cool and stable system which performs pretty much the same...

@ziokalco Месяц назад

In the past it wasn't rare for manufacturers to play so safe with default base performance that it was feasible to get about 10% performance increase without doing much to efficiency. GPUs such as the HD 7950 allowed pretty much every owner to increase performance by a higher % than you can get nowadays changing a 4060 for a 4060ti

@chronossage Месяц назад

@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat Oh they are fully going towards that. Intel had a clever idea of putting in smaller E cores for power efficacy like mobile phones had and while it's a great idea for laptop when you pair 8 E core with 2 P cores. It's basically worthless for desktop when even after windows added support for it the E cores largely don't do much and because of the whole E cores idea the P cores (while powerful) are super inefficient. Just like how bulldozer had a great idea of boosting multithreading at the expense of single threading. Intel is in the middle of needed to double down as a architecture is designed to last a decade or more phase and you can't just turn the ship that quickly. So they're dumping tons of power in it to compensate. I really like the big little idea but for Intel the big cores just lose to Zen and the little cores aren't good enough to replace a multithread so they aren't really needed.

Yet no-one dared to care but held open their hands for their share of hush-money (OEMs got their rebates, while reviewers are paid in cost-free samples). All this is done since ages on the back of the clueless customer and his pockets of quicker dying parts and his power-bill, while never ever going to get what he actually paid for, since it's pretty much non-existing. Since if Intel's parts were running at actual specs, Intel-CPUs would rate a very poor second, while being still power-hungry, inefficient and a hot-mess.

Don't forget to check out how to use AMD's Curve Optimiser in the BIOS to moderately undervolt your CPU and get extra performance out of it. I'm running my 7800X3D at -27. Some people can do even better but beware benchmarks that rely only on Cinebench as that's small enough to fit in the L3 cache and doesn't stress the memory subsystem. Even so, the irony that not only are AMD CPUs far more efficient than Intel's to begin with but that you can tweak them to be even more efficient to get more performance versus Intel's approach of throwing voltage at everything is too delicious for words.

The best part of this is Intel was happy with the increased power limits on Publications because it gave them good performance in reviews on release. They've been doing this for years and it finally caught up to them. AMD is doing something similar with PBO and increased power limits but not nearly as severe. All these extra default boosts on motherboards are why people can't get much of an overclock because it's running beyond the default specs out of the box.

It wasn't an issue with those older CPU's because the voltage stayed within the higher end of reason. Now the VCore spikes up +1.5v on these processors. The old rule of thumb for a 24/7 overclock was to keep the VCore below 1.35v. Intel has deluded themselves, vendors, and noobies into thinking 1.45v to 1.55v is safe, when it isn't and never was for long term stability.

@josephlai99 As shared above, i am working for an SI. So bios is our main game. In case you didn't notice, i am talking about a b760 chipset board that doesn't allow overclocking. Yes, brands like Asus enable Asus performance enhancement by default on all Asus boards. But this is disabled in the midrange options. Every system is stress tested and benchmarked while measuring power and temperature as part of our quality control process. So 253 watts, that's all that goes in under any condition. Ofcourse we have higher end models using rog strix b760 and z790. These boards with asus performance enhancement enabled pulls upto 390watts peak. We had failures in stock power.

@paradoxicalcat7173 27 дней назад

Really...you should never trust "default" or "stock" settings, ever. I have ALWAYS checked the defaults to ensure they are reasonable. A power limit of 4 kW is NOT reasonable. It would raise a huge red flag for me, and cause me to set the power limits to whatever the spec sheet defined. 253W is a very high figure still, given that until now, most CPU packages have been limited to 90-120W due to thermals. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS, but you can sacrifice your device for short-term performance. It's like drag racing: you can take a 5.7L V8 and make it produce 4000 HP, but it can only run 1/4 mile before it needs a total rebuild.

I’m assuming this now invalidates any previous baseline benchmarks performed, maybe?

@RurouTube Месяц назад

If Intel at least using the baseline profile in their presentation then I can see it kinda okay (but really not okay since they did allow it), but they didn't. For example, the Cinebench that Intel posted shows that 14900K multicore is 1.06 faster than 7950X and from what I see, 7950X scored around 2050 to 2090, thus Intel with 1.06x multiplier should score 2173 to 2215 which it can't achieve without using more than 254W! AMD does use PBO in those benchmark, but from looking at The Verge benchmark, 2058 score can be achieved with the CPU using 224W of power (within AMD spec of max 230W) while their 14900K score is 2194 using 324W of power which is definitely above spec and again, this is the number that Intel use in their own presentation! And no, Intel is not comparing actual baseline (as in purely non OC state, thus 125W) vs AMD actual baseline because if they did, 14900K will lose by a mile. So basically Intel is being hypocritical. Right now if you buy Intel CPU expecting to get the performance shown in Intel's own presentation, you're not getting it with baseline profile. In other words, they are lying about their performance to those costumer that purchased 14900K (or any other K model), running their processor out of spec just to get the win. For Intel to not be lying, they need to allow mainboard partners to default on these unlimited power setting and keep replacing any CPU that run into instability because of it. They can't just say "run the baseline profile if you encounter instability" since with baseline you can't get those numbers from Intel presentation, thus lying.

BUT, it depends entirely on what revision of BIOS your using. Im running at 8000mhz 24hour stable memory speeds and the CPU is functioning with zero stability issues.

@richard-davies Месяц назад

It's Intels fault mainly because the intel baseline is not usually the default setting out of the box. Intel made the CPU so they should be enforcing the baseline power limit as default. Any changes to this by the user is then the fault of user if the CPU degrades. AMD just had a similar issue with 7000 series CPUs frying because they didn't make board partners enforce a voltage limit and let the board partners push things way too far. Intel and AMD really must watch these board partners from now on to make sure they don't push things way out of spec because it's bitten both of them in the ass.

The motherboard manufacturers have to sign a contract with Intel to get chipsets and firmware to build motherboards. So Intel has all control in the world over this. But they want to write "TDP: 253W" on the box of the CPU (so it doesn't look too bad) and then have the board blast the CPU (with plausible deniability) to win benchmarks. So yes, it's Intels fault. Very simple. Nvidia doesn't allow their partners to just do whatever with their GPUs (much to the frustration of EVGA, but that's a story for another day). To get an OC VBIOS signed by Nvidia (otherwise the OS driver won't talk to it) the board partner has to send Nvidia the VRAM layout and component choice along with a standardized performance test of the cooler. Intel has the power to do this too. But they chose to make it very opaque what who is actually defining what "TDP: 253W" means in any particular case. For reference: Not a single professional desktop machine from HP, Lenovo or Dell runs Intel processors differently from Intels "guidance values" (And trust me, I've checked a fair few). Because corporate decision isn't made on benchmarks in popular media. In this environment power consumption actually matter, and 5-10% performance difference gets easily washed out in service contract details. So here Intel are magically honest and proper professional. Who would have thunked!

13700 here with a U12A. When I first got it, I noticed temps up in the 90's with the default power limit. I think I set PL1/2 to 125/150 after that and haven't had any issues since. But I did wonder why the heck they put those power limits so high by default.

@JumboTTV Месяц назад

I built my new PC around 45 days ago and have been struggling to get stability with the 14900kf even to this day. I bought the msi z790 gaming wifi plus and I'm wondering now if this has good enough VRMs, I think the power phase on it is 14+1+1 if that helps?

Not your mobo, it's ur cpu, undervolt/clock it to i7 lvls, turn off xmp and run ram at native ddr5 5600 which is what the processor supports without xmp as thats considered oc'ing and u should be good

@club4ghz Месяц назад

If you don't sync all P-cores to always run at the same frequency it will overshoot to 1.6v and crash cause vrm can't keep up. If you have all cores synced and you crash under heavier loads like BF 2042 at high fps, then you need more voltage, like 10 or 20 mv so not much more. Weak vrm can cause crashes when overheating, direct airflow on vrm heatsink could solve the issue if that's the problem so you can test it out.

@NANOTECHYT Месяц назад

As someone with a 13900k and MSi board I can say it works. You get similar performance to the ASUS profile shown here for 253W and it dials back the voltage and heat quite a lot. If it's at 4096 it will push voltage above 1.5V and will hit 100C. At 253W it's a 10-15% drop in performance, hovers around 1.38V and it runs at like 80-85C. I think MSI bios acts different to ASUS and Gigabyte but I could be wrong.

@chelsea9320 Месяц назад

They clearly did mentioned another step to select “intel default” under CPU lite load control option. But this will use higher voltage compared to MSI’s default option. Not sure whether it’s better to switch to intel default for this step..

Intel knows that people impulsively buy a new rig every 2 years because they are pushing for higher frames in whatever e-sport, diaper filling trash they are playing at the moment. Its really a poor habit because it leaves a giant opportunity for companies like Intel, AMD, Nvidia to schtup you (the customer) on the veranda. Self detonating CPUs/Motherboard isn't that big of an issue if it will be thrown out with the adult diapers every 2 years.

@TheIndulgers Месяц назад

This is intels fault. You can’t say Intel is innocent because the board makers are boosting beyond defaults - because Intel isn’t enforcing it. They want the higher benchmarks, but blame the mb for the stability. Trying to have their cake and eat it too. It’s same as Nvidia and the power cable. Try to blame the consumer when your faulty designed cable allows for user error. Edit: haha. I wrote this before watching the video and Steve says the exact same thing at 17:22.

@mostafafarghaly5258 Месяц назад

I have this problem for almost 3 years ago for intel CPUs in my workshop from 12th gen to 14th gen because it consumes a lot of power and my customers complain about the heat it goes up to 95 degrees in any 360mm aio or 420mm liquid cooling system 😢 and i decide to lower the power consumption of the CPU or limit the overheat temperature protection to 80 degrees and that's works for me some customers doesn't care about the frequency of the cpu they care about the heat and some other care's ...I tell them the performance will be less about 7 % and they are satisfied for that ....everyone is happy ...they happy 😁 me happy ....for every build i build it for intel CPUs and I believe the common enemy for electronics it's the heat More power = more heat More issues..unstable.. crashes ...for me it's like overclocking unless you have the best power stages or best VRM components and best cooling system to gain this much power

@Leadshot Месяц назад

I have a gigabyte board.. the same one you were using to test (apart from the X), i9 13900k, I've decreased the voltages and mutilthreading gives me about 37k with temps of 88°c roughly...

I'd say, yes, if you leave it the hell alone, a Raptor Lake CPU on Z690 is staggeringly more stable that a Zen 3 platform. My 13600k has literally never BSOD'd or otherwise hard-crashed. Sure, the occasional game will inexplicably crash ( _maybe_ once in three months), but that's just bad coding by the devs.

@TheJamesKF Месяц назад

@@awebuser5914 It seems like the i5s are not really a problem and the 13600k or 14600k is probably the best all around CPU for the socket for the money IMO. I have a z690 and z790 board and will happily run the i5s until I need something else. The i7s and i9s are a problem though and Intel needs to fix it right or they better have a good showing with 15th gen.
