@coolingreviews They forgot to enable the "default performance profile". /s

Are you telling me that the F-35 is like an overclocked and unstable CPU?

@x86deadandback Related to DMR ?

@SteakandChickn @jaykihn0 There's a WCL refresh ?

@jaykihn0 WCL-R is gunna hit like a truck

Wildcat Lake SKUs and clocking

@DreadyBear @lackynamber1234 ARL-R should have been a smaller 6+8 cpu with 48 or 64mb L3 cache. The die size would have been smaller than 90mm2, gaming performance closer to 9800X3D than 7800X3D, while surpassing both in MT.

@lackynamber1234 My experience with Arrow Lake was fantastic, and to me just extrapolating what a Nova Lake bLLC would look like from Arrow Lake vs vanilla Zen 5, I think there could be an upset if Intel doesn’t fart around. Not sure why people think AMD has an insurmountable advantage.

This is the average across 14 games. Say we swap out the 2 extreme outliers (BG3 and AC) and replace them with 2 extreme outliers for Intel (TTW - beamng - cities skylines) it would not be unreasonable for Intel to have the gaming lead - especially in 1% lows. Wild.

@kushal_mehra OK ! panauti maharaj

I think New Zealand will win the #t20worldcup2026 tonight

@IanCutress @Fujitsu_Global Oh, that is the cpu built on Intel 3.

634g. Feels like I'm carrying nuthin' at all! @Fujitsu_Global UX-K3 Up to Ultra 7 255U Up to 64GB LP5X Up to 2 TB (2230) $2400 (inc tax) max config This config: U7 255U/16/256 Price: ¥269780 / $1740 (inc tax) Tempted

@meng59739449 NVL is N2 though.

18A NVL 8+16 (Standard Compute Tile) ~110mm² NVL 8+16+144 MB (bLLC Compute Tile)~150mm² NVL 16+32 (Dual Compute Tile)~220mm² NVL 16+32+288 MB (bLLC Dual Compute Tile) ~300mm² N4P AMD Zen 5 8 Core CCD + 32 MB/64 MB X3D~71mm² N2 AMD Zen 6 12 Core CCD + 48 MB/TBD MB X3DL3 = ~76mm²

@OneRaichu @Alex_Intel_ 1278.7 is 18AU or 14A ?

I'm glad SemiAnalysis finally leaked 18A-U Now I can talk about it lol. Anyway 14A is coming earlier than 2029 guys but keep believing Lip-Bu sandbagging

@kopite7kimi Are they clocking all 32 E-cores to 5.5ghz ? Wtf is that shit. I like it btw.

The power consumption of a full-load NVL-K is over 700 watts.

@MCH2024 @insane_analyst Is the NGU really 5.5ghz ? That is insane.

@insane_analyst Intel fixed their chiplet latency issues with PantherLake. ARL/MTL had their CPU connected to the IMC by a paper straw. 2.5 GHz clock and no SLC. PTL fixes it. 5.5 GHz and 8MB SLC. Even D2D clock is up 50%. Result: -45ns memory latency. Big for NVL-S.

@OneRaichu Any idea how much power LNL pulls for P-core fmax ?

@Bullsh1t_buster If true, then the chip size is small right ? So you should say "Small, if true".

True if big

@highyieldYT @NVIDIAGeForce Amazing value. /s

Updated @NVIDIAGeForce RTX 50 Super line-up leaked 🚨 - RTX 5090 Super 16GB - RTX 5080 Super 8GB - RTX 5070 Super 6GB - RTX 5060 Super 4GB

@harukaze5719 ARL-R with the magic juice will cure all problems. /s

Everybody says great iGPU performance of B390. But what about the center of Intel, the CPU performance. It would be a bridge for the next gen, NVL So, what about the CPU Core's game performance? Don't tell about ARL-R lol

@hmph29759351 @mooreslawisdead @nvidia idk what you saying hmph, but that advice is solid. /s 22-34% IPC. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

@mooreslawisdead @nvidia "Good Advice"

According to recent reports, the RTX 5090 will be Effectively EOL'd just like I confirmed months ago: youtube.com/live/YdZxQiO4q… Can you believe some hacks masquerading as "journalists" swallowed @nvidia's PR and disputed this? Follow MLID for good advice, not access journalism.

@3DCenter_org @GohlJoao You cannot overclock it. So unless you are getting the highest end skus, you will have low boost clocks. Better to get the regular Raptor lake.

@GohlJoao It *is* not, indeed. But there is no reason, why it *can* be not.

Another possibility for a CPU upgrade for DDR4 owners in 2026: Bartlett Lake for desktop/consumer. The CPU exists, offers DDR4 support, and runs on LGA1700. No further technology is required; production just needs to be ramped up — and Intel needs to have the courage to do so.

@meng59739449 Up to 20 and 30 ? I expect no more than 5-7% range for gaming perf improvements.

Arrow Lake Refresh new 1)Compatibility with Arrow Lake motherboard 2)Ultra Plus performance up to 10+ or above 3)Some gaming performance up to 20 and 30 4)Launch in March 2026 5)Same price with Arrow Lake 6)Looks like redesign IO tile

@Haze2K1 So 2 i9s and 2 i7s with bLLC.

Nova lake-s with big last level cache: 16p 32e 4lpe 14p 24e 4lpe 8p 16e 4lpe 8p 12e 4lpe

@Silicon_Fly Compared to LNL i9, I get ~5% better ST score. Considering the same ST boost of 5ghz, the improvement is entirely from ipc gain. So Cougar Cove is ~5% better than Lion Cove. Comparison is fair because both PTL and LNL have on-die imc.

Finally!!! Panther Lake Top SKU 388H performance revealed! And it's actually better than expected! Performance is actually a fair bit faster than ARL 285H in ST/MT. And freq is 5.1 GHz which is inline with previous leaks. This puts a serious damper on the entire Ryzen AI Max series (including Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Ryzen AI Max HX 375/370, etc). PTL is going to be the best x86 Laptop CPUs in 2026. Good performance, Extremely efficiency, Terrific Gaming, Fast AI & a lot cheaper than a MacBook. Intel finally has a clear winner. Thanks to 18A. Intel Laptop market share is now at ~78%. It should easily cross 80% next year.

@MCH2024 @Silicon_Fly I just checked 285H scores. In GB6 ST it scores ~2600. Which is lower than LNL 288V's score of ~2900. Despite higher clocks, ARL-H still shits the bed in GB6. PTL-H has the advantage of on-die imc and SA. So the score is better.

@Silicon_Fly It’s similar to 285H actually in ST/MT. Slightly less but I am sure 388H still has a few hundred points to squeeze. The big thing is PTL beats STX Point pretty comfortably at MT.
