Very good review and squeezing more performance out. But I cannot help think these reviews show how good the 13600K and 5800X3D looks until the 7x000X3D comes out...

I want to see Prime 95 SmallFFTs running with full AVX on the 13900K. I disagree pricing is a "separate topic". Price must be taken into consideration at all times. It's integral to reviews. Without the threat of consumer backlash and bad reviews because of overpriced hardware, corporations will continue increasing prices at will. I am unsure where this tolerance for these prices come from. 10-15 years ago you would be ruthlessly mocked and treated in a hostile, adversarial manner online and in reviews for releasing such high priced gear, and you would get significant praise for correctly priced releasees - like the E7200 CPU, the HD4850, the GTX 970, even the 8700K in more recent time, undercutting the 1800X/1700X and offering similar performance at 5GHz. We should really return to an adversarial relationship with corporations. I don't think this sort of treating them politely, with care and consideration regardless what they do works well for consumers, in fact, it's the opposite. Harsh words, negative reviews with 1 star and not recommending these things must return.

oh look...another 2 sticks DDR5 review (don't blame me when I state the truth) aaanndddd I really wish I was wrong but I'm not..another ASUS board with zero official support for 4 dimms (that's what they call sockets, check other manufacturers or AMD) https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z790-hero-model/helpdesk_qvl_memory/

don't say I didn't warn you I did for all 2022 with my "worst purchase ever" 12900k+asus z690 extreme I checked the asus X670 hero and it also does not support 4 dimms and has obviously fewer support than other manufacturers even for 2 dimms, asus clearly has a problem handling DDR5 compare memory QVLs below yourself below Asus X670E crosshair hero https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-x670e-hero-model/helpdesk_qvl_memory/ MSI X670E meg ace https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X670E-ACE/support#mem meg ace which I should build in 2-3 weeks we'll see, if my 6200 dominator works fine then 100% asus+intel has a problem because on Z690 either it didn't boot or threw lots of errors in memtest (2 sticks) if it still doesn't work then RMA I guess EDIT : yes Intel "allegedly" supports 7000+ memory and AMD doesn't I know, but I'd rather be able to use the 4 dimms than buy 800$ memory kits personnally especially since builzoid in one of his videos says that motherboards should either have 2 slots or 4 populated but not empty ones playing the role of interference antennas

HH in review: "The Extreme has everything but is too expensive at $999, making this 629 USD HERO almost look cheap. Of course, it's everything but that. We're a little shocked as to how expensive PC gaming is becoming, as these prices are out of reach for 99% of end-users." Bought my HEDT MB X299 Rampage VI Apex end of 2018 on amazon. Delivery date: 23 December EUR 258,46 Condition: Used - Like New - Item is in the perfect original packaging. I am still so happy with it!!! But I could sell the ROG stickers....someone? Like new only €200.- approx. 10 stickers overall

I hoped for a 7950x3D but had low faith you just hyped me thanks 😀 the 12900k also showed me I do too much of everything now and 8 (real) cores just don't cut it I would have given up fps for cores if I didn't have a choice, but maybe I will have that choice

16 real Cores on roids would be crazy. I hope V-Cache doesn't make the CPU go above 95°C, TJ-Max or not.

I highly doubt they will aim for anything higher than 95°C, TJ-Max anytime soon , they are still catching flack for that one ! I believe the 3d V-Cache model will come few hundred MHz lower to either match the 95°C, TJ-Max or stay bellow it since V-Cache adds an additional layer on top of the chip.

Greetings from the USA! In these most trying financial times we have been experiencing here and a dismal holiday season ahead, I am one of those who can actually afford these kinds of stickers. Plastering these all over my 'ancient case' and dreaming about having come one stop closer to nirvana! How much did you say the postage would be?

SERIOUSLY? You're very, very, lucky, almost threw them away. If you´re absolutely sure and if you actualy need them for your great journey to nirvana, mmmhhhhhhh let me see, stickers overall page size is slightly larger than a regular EU A4 envelope, I could also send them to nirvana directly for you, better let me know a real mailing address (pm) on planet earth, will send them for FREE!!!!!
