8 cores and somewhat low clock rateSomething I don't understand, how 9700x is so fast in single core and so bad in games.
It sure is a great upgrade. It is only a sidegrade compared to Core i7-14700KF, that does 3.004 points single and 19.583 multi. But there are others aspects to be considered, like power consumption, heat, efficiency and if it isn't affected by any silicon problems like the previous gen.Out of curiosity I just ran GeekBench 6 on my i7 10700K @ 4.9ghz all core.
I got 1870 single core and 10232 multi core... looks the Core Ultra 7 will be a massive upgrade for me. Nearly double the performance in both single and multi core.
Great naming scheme. Terrific even.
Unless Intel goes backwards in gaming, it will beat Zen5...Looks like it won't be a big upgrade, if the rumours are true.
The i was replaced with Ultra, and now the model number is 3 numbers instead of 5 numbers that's pretty much it...I genuinely don’t understand the new naming scheme or where these fit in the stack at all.
Possible, even probable. It looks like they're trying to improve the single core performance at every cost, what will for sure helps in gaming. The question that's in the air is what is the efficiency of those mew chips and the price.Geekbench is useless.

I've heard Geekbench multithreaded results are very unreliable but ST is solidOut of curiosity I just ran GeekBench 6 on my i7 10700K @ 4.9ghz all core.

Yeah I usually use cinebench when I run benchmarks, I wish they had used it here instead of GeekBenchI've heard Geekbench multithreaded results are very unreliable but ST is solid
Clocks are going backwards due to TSMC. IPC ain't going up enough to provide a big bump. Should be better in games than Zen 5 but Zen 5 X3D is coming.Geekbench is useless.

With a purported 100w drop for the i9 and rumors of AMD increasing 9700X TDP, Arrow Lake could even beat Zen5 in efficiency.Possible, even probable.

I'll still get a clock bump, as I'm on a mildly overclocked 13600K. And if I jump up to the i7, I'll be getting a decent clock bump + the improved IPC + 6 more cores... and the E-cores are clocked half a Ghz higher than what I'm at today.Clocks are going backwards due to TSMC.

Well, we will see. Even with a 100w tdp it coud be above Zen. If they manage to be below Zen 5, it'll be a massive improvement for them. Also why Geekbench is useless? I was always under impression that it simulates everyday tasks, not some obscure tools.With a purported 100w drop for the i9 and rumors of AMD increasing 9700X TDP, Arrow Lake could even beat Zen5 in efficiency.
Its a 2 node improvement from Raptor Lake so I wouldn't be too surprised.Well, we will see. Even with a 100w tdp it coud be above Zen. If they manage to be below Zen 5, it'll be a massive improvement for them.
After seeing Zen5's 15% IPC lead to 3% gaming performance, I am not really concerned with any of these early benchmarks. I'll care when we see some gaming numbers...Also why Geekbench is useless? I was always under impression that it simulates everyday tasks, not some obscure tools.
Right, then it's a personal matter? Because I thought that you had something to back up that claim.After seeing Zen5's 15% IPC lead to 3% gaming performance, I am not really concerned with any of these early benchmarks. I'll care when we see some gaming numbers...

Yeah. Just like you CPU being efficient at doing nothing is useless for this forum.Geekbench is useless for gaming. This is a gaming forum.

By pure efficiency matter, the phone I'm posting from is better than your CPU.Very useful when it comes to posting here, and browisng other sites.

Cannot disagree. Sausage fingers sucks.your speed efficiency of typing is worse.
and i can easily switch between tabs on a much larger screen, whilst reading ebook on the side as well, all while my cores are ilding in a low power state.Cannot disagree. Sausage fingers sucks.
PC's are practical at multitask compared to smartphones. News at 11. But, like you said, that's a gaming forum, it doesn't matter.and i can easily switch between tabs on a much larger screen, whilst reading ebook on the side as well, all while my cores are ilding in a low power state.
lots of users browse from their desktops, so it does matter if one CPU is more efficient in a low power state compared to another, if people really care about efficiency...PC's are practical at multitask compared to smartphones.

I'll take 90% the top gaming performance if I can get 30% better MT and pay less.
. I'll care when we see some gaming numbers...

Well, NPUs are used to accelerate Neural Network processing. It have several use cases, and one of them is the Generative IA and voice recognition (the gimmick you're talking about). I think that, once it becomes more popular, it could be broadly used in gaming, but now, it isn’t. It could be used in upscaling, accelerate physics calculations and so on.Does the NPU have any use in gaming or is it just for the AI bullshit that I will most likely turn off just like I turned off the Cortana crap?

Though not confirmed, Arrow Lake on the desktop is using Intel 20A. And on the Laptop, it's using TSMC N3.
The reason for these lower clocks might be to avoid the degradation they got with 13 and 14th gen.
Multi threaded performance only matters when Intel is losing in gaming.You win.
There's no doubt,IMO, that the Arrow Lake we are getting isn't going to be the Arrow Lake we could have had without all the recent trouble.
And yet despite it all my natural inclination is to still build a top end Intel PC over a top end AMD one, mainly because I think Intel is still inherently more stable when it comes to RAM speeds.
Geekbench is useless.
