Seems like we're getting really close to release date for the new Rocket Lake cpu's and the 11900K is rumored to be under $600 ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
That's still a crazy amount of money for an 8 core part, but if they are widely available at retail prices they will fly off the shelves.
Lots of early "leaked" benchmarks showing that it's providing some real competition to Zen3, except for the multithreaded heavy ones of course.
And as much as I nearly jumped on the Zen3's when they were released, I still can't find a 5800/5900/5950 at any sort of sane pricing, so hopefully this will give AMD a push
An overclocked 11700K should make for a fun new build to replace my solid old 5Ghz 8700k.
But, at the same time, both platforms sort of seem like a bit of a dead end![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
