i7-10700k RTX 4080 I don't really game all that much anymore so kind of a waste lol. Might upgrade my CPU at some point, heard bad things about current gen Intel though.
intel 12th gen arent having the problems of the 13th and 14th gen. plus the 12th gen processors are on sale.
I personally hope there is a class action lawsuit over this. They are forcing people to dump machines that are plenty fast enough, have the multiple cores, have enough memory, and should have more longevity. These chips may not have the security features that Windows 11 requires. But, they are otherwise leaving tens of thousands of consumers (or is it hundreds of thousands?) with no choice except to try to run Windows 11 under the guise that windows updates may not work correctly and the OS will likely crash more, i.e. unsupported. Or, run no longer supported Windows 10. They should have to continue support for Windows 10 or pay up. This is f-ing horses__t! Remember when minimum requirements used to mean..."well...your chip is so old that it's not fast enough and/or your hardware doesn't meet minimum memory requirements to run the latest OS"? Now, they are pulling this. They made a choice. Now, they should have to pay for that choice for f-ing us on backward compatibility. I didn't buy this machine under the premise that I would only be running this one OS and forego any future OS releases only to be screwed. No CPU should have a one OS only lifecycle!
The nerds will laugh, but I got a great sale deal (around 900- ish) on a really nice HP (top shelf chip, nvidia graphics, all the rams, great monitor, sound, etc...) over a year ago, and have absolutely zero complaints. Oh...the mouse crapped out after about 14 months. Boo hoo.
I haven’t heard that name in years. Was my first build as well , when “2 cores!” Was huge stumbled on this
I needed a 360 AIO water cooler to keep my 14700K from overheating. If I could build it again; I’d do AMD.
This many years of computing, never owned an AMD CPU based computer or built one. I did have an AMD graphics card once but GeForce with CUDA...better for video editing in Premiere. https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/26/24206529/intel-13th-14th-gen-crashing-instability-cpu-voltage-q-a There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent
5950x 6800 XT 32GB DDR4 Samsung 990 AMD is the way but does anyone know if the intel 13th and 14th gen issues are applicable to laptops or is it just desktops for now? I bought a laptop earlier this year and it's running 13th gen, never had any issues also haven't it used it much.
“We have determined that elevated operating voltage is causing instability issues in some 13th/14th Gen desktop processors,” Intel employee Thomas Hannaford writes on the company’s forum
Macbook Pro (M2 pro) 12 cores. 32 GB ram (for making the occasional Rockets GIFs). Daily drivers splitting between that and an older MacBook Pro. Still use Windows OS for work. Gaming is on console.
6700XT 5800X3d 32gb ddr4 maybe ill get a 4070 super at some point but otherwise im stuck on am4 for a while. sad.
Have you tried running LLMs locally? Hopefully work gives me an m4 when it's out, but prob won't do much gaming on it. Consoles, mobile, and some streaming here.
Much the same as what you posted. There was a time years ago when Intel was held in high regard, but not so much today. Intel confirms that any Raptor Lake instability damage is permanent, and no, it's not planning a recall
