Having second thoughts but not sure - I know this is a gaming forum. Got a Intel i9 14900k I am going to upgrade to

[River]

Mainly did it because I sometimes run VMs and a lot of other programs in the background while gaming. I know I know recommended not to. Like to be able to run everything I need without having to continue closing it then reopening it when I am done gaming. Yes I know VM a lot require a lot of RAM so yes I have 32 GB. I know more the better.

Coming from a i7 12700k. I know it may seem like hardly a upgrade but I feel like it could be a decent upgrade. Do not know anyone who has done it personally.

Mainly looking for higher 1% minimum fps in cpu limited games. Do not care about max fps.


I do not have it yet otherwise I would not be writing this.

Sorry forgot my resolution 3440x1440

I know the higher the resolution the more it is the video card that determines your performance

Though CPU is important too in my opinion depending on the game

Current gen Intels are a terrible buy.

12th gen to 14th is not really an upgrade, Intel's performance gains since 8th gen are almost a flat curve.

Also take in to consideration that the i9 uses 2.5x as much power as a comparable Ryzen while providing inferiour performance at 1.5-2x the price.

Thank you.

I will return it once I get it. Not opened.



Wish there was a way to test the feel difference without getting it. Oh well.

You really should have 48-64GB or more if you going to be doing VMs

PURE NONSENSE.you have absolutely no idea what your talking about.rysen uses more
power over all and please tell me how 4.whatever ghz is better than 5.8 to 6ghz my
god your completely clueless.intel is also far more stable than your clunky rysen garbage.
but if you into stutter and constant trouble shooting yeah GO AMD !!! YAY TEAM.

I run the 13900k and its a beast hands down the best and most powerful cpu ive
ever owned upgraded from the 9900k whickh was overclocked to 5.4 and it doesnt
come close to the power of the 13900k.and like all intel cpu the reliability and stability
are unmatched if AMD even made a stable cpu i would consider it.but that day is not
now.

I fail to see how your experience with the 13900k in any way is supposed provide any counter evidence to my claims.

You are litterally saying that you are basing your entire response above on "I used a 13900K once and I liked it".

Great, amazing you liked it, I am sure the CPU does a fine job in putting an image on the screen I never pulled that in to question.

That is possibly true if you are only using Linux but that is definitely not true if you are on Win10/11

12th Gen i7/i9 is quite a jump from 9th Gen i7/i9

But yea going from 12th Gen i7 to anything 13th or 14th Gen is kind of dumb.

Honestly I wouldn't go with any of those, better off with Ryzen 5800X3D or 7800X3D if you are gaming. If you do more then just gaming; like maybe heavy work stuff, then maybe look into if the Intel stuff helps more in those apps and what overall is more important to you. Couldn't pay me to buy Intel ever since Intel 9th Gen only because the Ryzen got really serious once 5600X/5800X got here.

Intel is still playing their same stupid games with consumers that they've been doing since PENTIUM was King. The CEO of INTEL is as delusional as the current US President and just is out of touch with everything. He was even crying like a little baby over this whole NVIDIA and AMD push for AI, saying INTEL totally dropped the ball there and should have been ahead of the curve on all of that. So yea, their record speaks for itself. Pointless CPU upgrades, constant Motherboard changes/upgrading and even their GPUs are still a 100% joke.

someday when you own a top dog cpu be it AMD or intel you'll understand theres more to
them then plugging in and running bench marks he even stated that in the video.
"theres room for improvement" but still continues to use his plug and play methods
that are essential for his youtube hits.drama is everything !!!

Yes I did overlook that part... the ridiculous power consumption is another reason I've stayed away from using Intel 12th Gen and later.

I have used them in customer builds and at work, but I refuse to use them in my personal builds unless Intel makes some much needed changes to basically everything they do and how they do it.

I already use high TDP GPUs, I don't need a 200-300W CPU when my AMD choices of CPUs have proved to provide just as good of performance at sometimes 1/4 or 1/5 the power consumption as flagship Intel CPUs.

[River]

Thank you everyone all good input and comments!

Will be honest it is for Cities Skylines 2 but I feel like nothing will improve it enough so back the processor it goes. It was for some other games too. Not just that one.

[River]

I just wish I knew if it would give me a extra 5 or 10 fps of 1% minimum fps that is basically all I need.

Guess I will never know.

Even if only 2 tops ?

try this then up against AMD best.funny how the power claims you made just dont show
and if you drop the voltage down (like most people do who know high end cpu work do )
