Intel Demoes Core "Lunar Lake" Processor from Two Generations Ahead
Intel at the 2023 InnovatiON event surprised audiences with a live demo of a reference notebook powered by a Core "Lunar Lake" processor. What's surprising about this is that "Lunar Lake" won't come out until 2025 (at least), and succeeds not just the upcoming "Meteor Lake" architecture, but also its succeeding "Arrow Lake," which debuts in 2024. Intel is expected to debut "Meteor Lake" some time later this year. What's also surprising is that Intel has proven that the Intel 18A foundry node works. The Compute tile of "Lunar Lake" is expected to be based on Intel 18A, which is four generations ahead of the current Intel 7, which will be succeeded by Intel 4, Intel 3, and Intel 20A along the way.
The demo focused on the generative AI capabilities of Intel's third generation NPU, the hardware backend of AI Boost. Using a local session of a tool similar to Stable Diffusion, the processor was made to generate the image of a giraffe wearing a hat; and a GPT program was made to pen the lyrics of a song in the genre of Taylor Swift from scratch. Both tasks were completed on stage using the chip's NPU, and in timeframes you'd normally expect from discrete AI accelerators or cloud-based services.

And yes, of course the 7800X3D is more expensive, it's the fastest gaming processor on the market right now which always costs a premium. That comparison was never about the price though (even though the difference isn't that big at $320 vs $380 with the $380 7800X3D including the $70 starfield).The 13900K's memory performance gains above 6000 are less than 1% on average:
13900K memory scaling test
After AMD's BIOS patch a month back, AMD is more stable on higher frequencies as well, just watch of any buildzoids video on the topic.
Not sure why some people still seem to hold the belief that memory performance saves 13th gen. No, according to every memory scaling benchmark we've seen it's a non factor compared to their Ryzen counterparts. On either brand you should be slapping in a 6000 kit with the lowest timings you can get. It's a waste on either to pursue higher frequencies due to added instability.
For example it very rare that someone mentions AMD SMT fix doing Cyberpunk Benchmarks... basically throwing out of the window all previous data.
Well a stupid question. When your country anthem plays? Why people take off their hats? Or that's also not important and not happening? So this case doesn't apply to that? As I said, this is a public stunt, you should follow basic manners as there are many cultures around the world. You have to act without offense, you have to have a person regulating the whole event telling what's good or bad.
I am not offended by remarks that find it amusing, that I argue about it. But it is just a point of view, maybe older European look. But that's how I was told in school and parents. It is a pure matter of knowing what's what and manners.
Now if we're talking about the latest generation who think playing music on loudspeakers on public transport is not bad manners...well they're just wrong :p whilst I think I'm still in the majority on that one, maybe one day I'll be in the minority & I'll have to concede that society no longer thinks that's bad manners. I'm sure I'll feel much the same as you do now!
Yes Ryzen 7000 can use faster memory than 6000 with new AGESAs but it is pointless anyway due to how AMD's infinity fabric work
Intel don't have this issue and you can blast the memory as high as you can and some games will scale well
14th Gen looks to use DDR5-6400 and will probably be able to use DDR5-8000 without a problem
Hopefully Ryzen 8000 will be able to use 7000-8000 speeds instead of just 6000. We have not seen the true potential of DDR5 yet, speeds are still kinda low and 6000 is not really impressive when latency skyrocketed. DDR5 at 4800-5200 is literally mediocre at best. Reminds me of early DDR4 days with 2133-2400 speeds.

But that hat apparently casts a such long shadow, and no one noticed that A.I. is now writing song lyrics by ripping off T.S. - How the roles have reversed!
