Support NeoGAF

It was a firmware bug and it's fixed. New 14900k CPUs don't have this issue. Even Zen 5 is frying itself due firmware bugs it's not exclusive to Intel.

For AM5, only ASRock has the voltage issue. This issue has been solved with a BIOS update.

In higher core count workloads the u9 and r9 are neck and neck.
If you are buying high core count CPUs and NEED them then Intel is totally viable.
Down the stack the 12/3/400 were always good and I dont believe Intel ever brought out the replacement 240 or atleast havent seen any in the wild.

Cinebench 2024: Reviewing the Benchmark

Cinebench 2025 doesn't use vector 256-bit or vector 512-bit. It's exploits scalar 3-operands floating point from AVX2. Cinebench 2025 has the old scalar 3 operands from the old school RISC workstation world.

3nm 5nm 7nm?

From what I recall I think they are aiming for 2nm.

Man, this just seems to be Windows Scheduling nightmare. You just know first 6 months to a year lost release it will run terribly with games without manually turning off E cores or using stuff like lasso.
