It was pretty pointless starting this. There are not enough on TPU that have them or do but do not bother posting in here.

There is so much vitreol against ADL by AMD users who will never have one so will never understand how good they are or how cool they run when used for gaming or general use which i do not understand why, you have your AMD and will never buy a ADL CPU so why shit in most Intel threads making it into a anti Intel or AMD vs Intel crap.

I will not be replying to any such thread again, i am sick of the crap.

I really wish i had never got the ADL setup, i should have kept the dead end AMD AM4 setup till AM5 came out. Could have at east joined in the Intel baiting then too.

I have two ADL rigs now; 12600K & 12700K. They're both nearly identical and I think the 12600K is slightly more of the Silicon Lottery winner when it comes to overclocking. I haven't posted much about them because they're works in progress. I also have other issues far more serious going on in my life that limit my time to work on them at the moment.

I recently updated the OS's to Win 11 Pro 22H2 and haven't finished properly configuring either one of them. I'm not the type to post until it's actually merited. Both perform spectacularly though and I hope to have benchmarks and pictures up in the near future when I'm physically able to.

There is so much vitreol against ADL by AMD users who will never have one so will never understand how good they are or how cool they run when used for gaming or general use which i do not understand why, you have your AMD and will never buy a ADL CPU so why shit in most Intel threads making it into a anti Intel or AMD vs Intel crap.

I will not be replying to any such thread again, i am sick of the crap.

I really wish i had never got the ADL setup, i should have kept the dead end AMD AM4 setup till AM5 came out. Could have at east joined in the Intel baiting then too.

I kinda get what you are saying.
I switched to ADL from a first gen Zen in 2022 february or so and whenever I mention this somewhere I get questioned why the fuck did I do that.

Tired of explaining every time that I had my reasons and at the time it was the better deal where I live even with the mobo price included rather than upgrading into my aging B350 so I went with the newer platform instead with better/newer feature set.
At the time my specific board had no official support either for the 5000 serie and the non X 5600 did not exist yet and even the second hand 3600-3700x were overpriced here so I noped out of that route.

I have no problem with AMD or Intel, simply buy whatever is best for my budget and use case and this time around ADL won that with the 12100F cause AMD had nothing to offer in that range.
So far I have no issues with it, it does exactly what I needed it for and it was a massive upgrade over my 1600x in some of the crappy single thread limited games I play. 'even in multi thread ones actually..'

This platform will serve me for a long time I think, I'm not a power user nor chase crazy FPS numbers and I can still drop in upgrade to a 12400 or maybe a Raptor lake CPU later down the line if I ever need it. 'Yeh I don't really feel like posting on the forums lately..'

I have no problem with either, just a problem with the number of imo shit posts against Intel ADL by people who know fuck all but the spew spouted by people who have never had hands on with one.

Imo the 12700k is the best gaming and general use CPU out now. You can't count the 5800X3D as it is good for gaming but so so for other stuff and beaten by the 12700k in non gaming stuff.

It seems to me that most people don't care much for the E cores... much like most people didn't care much for Bulldozer.

From where I stand, I'm not how strong the E cores really are, but I've seen a post somewhere on here claiming that the E cores are about as strong as a Skylake core... which is already much faster than my Sandy Bridge cores :laugh:

Iirc w1zzard tested E cores only and they are pretty good. I don't really understand the problem with something that drastically increases MT performance. Imo as i have stated, why run something like discord on a P core while gaming when it can be run on a E core, leaving the P cores to be exclusively used for the game task. That is if you just have Discord running, what about all your other background tasks which are using the P cores too. If you did not have E cores, there is a lot of stuff using your cores while you are running your game, which are obviously going to impact game performance.
