it does not work like that… 8tflop rdna3 is becaue they count the fpu perf like it is done on ampere/ada ie both the int and fpu alu can to fp while older u arch had fixed alu for int and fp.
And there is a problem with the rdna3 where this function is not working correctly so we only get the additional 30% fpu perf from the additional fp alu units.
and like u sait the memory is holding back the apus but it will still not perform like an 8Tflop gpu.
does not really matter if they dont do it. u can look at a fiat or an ferrari, both are pretty much owned by the same company yet they are vastly different products. same here, does not matter if the apu in the consoles(ferrari) is so much faster if the desktop apu is like a fiat.
dont forget that many kits can run at cl28 when at 6000mt/s
this again? I swear, must be Brian from TechyesCity that post from many of his alt accounts to get us to watch his youtube vids :D
yes, 120mm aio is pretty much the same as an dual tower air cooler. I used an 120mm aio on both an 12700k and 12900k as I only had one 360 aio so one of those had to use the 120 aio and it was doing okey job.
I see that people are trying to scare u off, if you have the 120mm aio just use it. it will be more than okey for 99% of your usecase/workload. just as bigger aios and big aircoolers it will be super hot when U load all the cores up like in an tile based renderer but for gaming and desktop use, no probs at all.
yes, 11700k is actually very good cpu. it was a poor mans 5800x back then.
lga1700 cpus are very effecient if you play with the power limits. I 12700k(2x), 12900k and 13900kf and all of them were super fun to see how they performed at lower watts.
I gaming they dont consume much at all, but I do not run with the e cores at all :)
