14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh"

14700K should be able to do 7200-7600 c34/36 on XMP fairly easily. Price isn’t that much higher.

Great thanks, yea I'm running 32gb now and don't really think I need to go 64 any time soon.

48gb is nice. LGA 1851 is out shortly for those that can’t AM5. I’d expect the new socket to resolve some potential motherboard issues and bring cooler running chips.

Yeah generally no harm in it if the price isn't much different, as long as no compatibility issues, but performance wise you have to go from 6000 to 8000 to see more than 1-2 FPS difference in games and even then it is usually only ~2% faster. Sometimes if the timings are slacker to get the high frequency it can impact on application performance slightly.

Unreal thanks guys, trying to see if I can find 8700k vs 14700k overall... that would be interesting!

Really hard to do that because with a bazillion cores on these CPUs and variable clocks the benchmarks have to be app specific, but it is around 3-4x as fast in multithreaded apps if you compare to the 10400 which has the same cores and core count as your CPU.

 

[Proto]

Large numbers of cores aren’t just useful for parallelism, which is truly nothing more than a substitute for higher frequency, but for actual intelligent and complex situations where each core has its own task that may or may not be run concurrently depending entirely on redundancy requirements.

A crude example is a large number of NPC characters walking along at different locations but doing practically the same or a narrow range of movements and expression, or the same example with each NPC exhibiting individual traits.

The latter is also where the principals of AI start to become understood.
