35% faster than 10900K single core and matching multicore.

Okay lads, start saving your pennies.

👍😁

Initial data looks impressive.

I'm sort of skeptical.  I mean I have a 9700k at 4.7.  Probably can push it more.  But is going from 4.7 to say 5.3 on this new CPU really worthy of a CPU/MB upgrade?

It also has only 8 cores compared to 10 cores of the 10900k

Nah... Already have my Ryzen....

It is nice to read that newer, faster CPUs are becoming available, just like new automobiles... every year a new model..

That does not mean that you have to trade in your current vehicle if it does the job for you 😉

I am very happy that my current hardware runs both P3DV5 and MSFS nicely.. unlike the past where a new FS release meant a systems upgrade (each time..)  All I had to do this time around, was add some RAM and a new SSD.

Don't forget, its not just about frequency. its about IPC too. Instructions Per Cycle. Whether it's worth it is subjective, a personnel choice. 

I'm guessing it would be about  40% faster in single core performance than your 9700K, if it really is 35% faster than the 10900K. About 11% faster multicore.  

We don't know how the reported score was achieved though, whether it was an overclock or stock, or what manner of cooling. Or if it was an engineering sample or the final product.

True, seems Intel have gone for single core emphasis for gaming. Destined to be the gaming king. Its 13% faster than Ryzen 5950X in single core.

True enough, why I posted a... 😁

I found it amusing that AMD's best hasn't been around long and Intel's best only just over a year, and here we are with a new temptation. 

Everything is out of date within a nanosecond of being released. 

Why I didn't bother with the wait for the latest AMD CPU, and bought the Intel 10900K.

3-4% is more realistic , time will tell

Will be interesting to see the fight sim reviews of this. Like most of you I’ve been disappointed with cpu technology compared to past years. Would love to see Murphy’s law come back

Yep. Fortunately, GPU technology keeps moving forward and flightsim developers have reduced the dependence on CPUs.

Just out of curiousity, If, as an example, the Ryzen5950x gets 110FPS in MSFS, just how significant is the Intel extra 13%.  Will it do the washing up?  LOL

Are you thinking of Moore's law?
