It would be good if Denuvo was to die forever because of new cpu releases all the time.
I don't see that happening though.

That's not too bad then. The only games I play from that list are the Assassin's Creed and Farcry titles.

Dont rule out the incompatibility with some games in the future.

There will be a time when you need a second rig or maybe a smart phone to run drm protected games two source verification of ownership

For games that are old enough where multiplayer is mostly dead but single player is still fun, you can always use no-DRM cracks. As someone who games exclusively on Linux now, I use those cracks for some of my older games.

On other hand i am pretty sure that the not protected version might work on it... (Also those versions are generaly more fast than the original...)
I am clearly not for piracy, but i am also against those selfcalled protecting system,
that are source of problem since they exist (as they are made more to earn money than really protect).

Note to myself: to not buy CPUs with hybrid cores.

It's disappointing tbh. I was seriously considering an alder lake build. This has kind of trashed that idea.

anyone who hangs here can wait for either AM5 or Meteor Lake, which is my recommendation based strictly on the likelihood of a new chipset as well to go with either/both.
given the power handling requirements of the mobo, which are never cheap (even @ $250), and the DDR5
this equals a hard pass in my book.
this isn't anti-Intel, this is Meteor Lake will be so much better across the board - including power handling.
and as for AMD we know that going to a smaller node will lower the overall draw even if there is another compute chiplet (tho' i ain't going to say by much @ the top, but core for core will certainly improve).
so my crystal ball is for Meteor Lake mobo's to be around the same price, but to last longer keeping the pin config for a bit (for Intel).
AM5 mobo's will have the same price range as AM4 mobo's, including lower end B and A 6xx, not just the X 6xx.
buying AL is fine if you want to, but to buy a good 5 year system when you can wait a year and get a guaranteed bonkers one is beyond me.

Has anyone actually TESTED these games to see if they work?
I had no problems running For Honor (afaik this is not even patched), Star Wars Jedi FO and Shadow of the Tomb Raider on my 12900k, and I don't see any "compatibility" settings in the Asus bios.
