Sweet! Nice to see Intel opening a can of whoopass. I wonder if there will be a 290K Plus? That would be the one I would want. It would need to be a 9950X beater in all core workloads.

Unless something changes in a big way with Zen 6, my next build will most likely be a return to Intel. Will see what happens when it happens and go from there. I think the 9950X is a very good CPU, but I do not like how many hard-coded functional limitations there are with AMD CPUs and the X3D CPU features don't really offer me anything important to me since I am not particularly obsessed with gaming.

 

They opted to skip the slated 290k Plus and just stick with the 250k and 270k. Seeing as the 270k is basically a 285k but depending on bins will be better and the 290k was literally the 285k just pushed a bin up, Intel actually did the right thing this time coming in at killer price points on both the 250k and 270k.

 

Technically, 285k has TVB but it is a non starter really for us.

 

And just like that, the 9600x drops to ~$182 a few days before the 250k launches.....

 

Mobile wise, I'm curious to see what 290hx plus brings to the table as it is rumored to have 10-15% more performance than the 275/285hx variants but that will come down to the supporting rig around the engine as always. Difference between the 275hx in my Acer Neo 16s and the 275hx in my Alienware 18 is night and day.

 Zen 6 is rumored to have a 24 core variant though and if we get that, double X3D AND what is rumored to be significant fabric interconnect latency improvements, it could be a killer chip too. 

 

But Nova is going to be a brand new architecture with its own 3d caching system and I am expecting absolutely killer performance out of it too. Unlocked with absolutely no boundaries and a ton of cores, it has pulled ~600-700w in testing. Sounds right up your alley @Mr. Fox!

Apple's new M5 Max chip is a decent little bump CPU wise but GPU wise it is a pretty substantial upgrade....

 

M1->M5 performance progression in just the Macbook 16" Max models. I imagine the slated M5 Ultra is going to be a beast especially now with M5 the CPU and GPU are own their own, individual modules with Apple having solved the high speed interconnect issues and allowing the same shared memory. This bodes well for future configs too for really building out Macs with multiple GPUs.

 

AI performance is absolutely through the roof. I suspect a lot of M5 Ultra boxes are going to be snapped up for AI work.
