Probably because it is.A quick question. Why do I get the feeling that this review is the same as this one?

You do realize it's effectively a more efficient 13900k, right? Yes, the review doesn't show that, because the reviewer is running cinebench and blender at unlimited power limits drawing 999 watts. Which is moronic. No professional on the entire planet will buy a 13900k or ks to run hour long heavy workloads at 400 watts. Testing like that serves nothing but increasing traffic. The 13900ks, the 13900k or the 7950x are insanely efficient CPUs, way more efficient than last gen, as long as you don't run them at 999 watts.All you need to do is de-lid the CPU use EKs Limited Edition Direct-Die Water Block and a 3 fan radiator and this will run just fine, I don't know what you lot are moaning about. BTW I am being sarcastic, this CPU is a joke.
You do realize that around 99.9% of all users do NOT limit TDP or do anything else advanced tweaking. They run CPU default settings.You do realize it's effectively a more efficient 13900k, right?

My 13900k at 110watts beats my 12900k at 260 watts. It also beats a 5950x at 230 watts.
99.9% of users dont run rendering and other heavy workloads for hours, they are browsing and playing games. So power draw doesnt matter for them cause its pretty low on those tasks anywaysYou do realize that around 99.9% of all users do NOT limit TDP or do anything else advanced tweaking.

It DOES matter because you have to have sufficient cooling. And that cooling is designed for max load around 99.9% of systems.99.9% of users dont run rendering and other heavy workloads for hours, they are browsing and playing games.

If you are not running hour long renderings you don't need sufficient cooling. A 30 euros cooler is enough for gamingIt DOES matter because you have to have sufficient cooling. And that cooling is designed for max load around 99.9% of systems.

This is my problem (taken from my manual):You do realize that around 99.9% of all users do NOT limit TDP or do anything else advanced tweaking. They run CPU default settings.
It's not six cores, but I saw a huge performance leap in New World going from a 7700K to 7700X. A lot of these games pound a small number of threads.At this point; upgrading from a 2017 6 core+ cpu for gaming is pointless; if you max settings; the difference between old and new CPUs begins to evaporate and by higher resolutions like3440x1440,v 4k or 6880x2880 dsr...the difference becomes laughable. Even a 2008 i7 920 can still give decent performance at higher resolutions in 2023.
I have a 7700X, and AM5 is a mess in practice outside of benchmark graphs. AMD really fumbled AM5.Meanwhile, the 7700x is near the top of the gaming charts. It even beats the 13900ks in some titles.
Not in terms of "good enough"; exceptions don't ever make rules. You take 30 FPS/RPG/RTS games from 2014-2022 the rule will be an i7 920 is plenty.It's not six cores, but I saw a huge performance leap in New World going from a 7700K to 7700X. A lot of these games pound a small number of threads.
I wouldn't be too worried. There were issues with AM4 when it first came out too. The first kit of RAM that I bought didn't work with my ASRock X370 Killer SLI motherboard. I took it back to Canada Computers and the tech there said "Yeah, there's an issue with RAM on these new boards. Just use this cheaper kit by Team and you'll be fine." so I put that RAM on and sure enough, I'd never had a problem since.I have a 7700X, and AM5 is a mess in practice outside of benchmark graphs.

What's the big deal here? 99.9% of all Americans in these times of our ongoing economic turmoil can simply not afford nor will purchase the KS! The man on the street like me must eat first, then leave a big chunk of his paycheck at the pump and pay rent. Reality bites!
When a CPU consumes that much juice for that much performance at that price, any site that gives it a score of 93 is kowtowing to Intel.Haha. Tweak Town gave it a Must Have with a score of 93. I mean jeez, just 2 days before the official release of the competition.
Because I wrote one of them. Lol. Corporate greed aka capitalism takes over the one thing that makes us human is the freedom to make the right decisions naturally. Everything in life is being influenced in the wrong ways and washed by the media/money. No such thing as truth. Everything is about war and money. Ain't that hard to see.When a CPU consumes that much juice for that much performance at that price, any site that gives it a score of 93 is kowtowing to Intel.
Thankfully, the two comments that I just read on that article are not complimentary to the author.

I couldn't agree more.Because I wrote one of them. Lol. Corporate greed aka capitalism takes over the one thing that makes us human is the freedom to make the right decisions naturally.
Yep, capitalism has subverted democracy.Everything in life is being influenced in the wrong ways and washed by the media/money. No such thing as truth. Everything is about war and money. Ain't that hard to see.
