I just had to rant a bit.
Kinda need hardware right now for my "NAS". Since I need hardware acceleration from quick sync it needs to be Intel.
And oh man the last few generation sucks, the new 12th generation is no different and on dying platform. At least there is a bump in iGPU performance...

What ?

I thought the new gen is 11th gen?
10500 should be able to be resold easily later on.

10500 in the list was just a placeholder. The 12th gen was officially released today. Even though some samples of 11600k and 11700k has been available for retail in Europe. Such a weird launch.

Updated the list with i5 11500.

Yeah hopefully I can resell it next year. Not like it's an expensive CPU and motherboard compared to the drives.

I'm so confused...

The nomenclature for the Intel CPUs is like this XXYZZ. Where XX represents the generation, Y is the line up, and ZZ are the whatever additional crap they want to include.

So if we take 11600, it's 11th generation and i5 (even though it says 6, it's like rounded down to 5).

If we take 11700, it's 11th generation and i7.

Where is 12th gen release? Did you mean the news break out for the 12th gen or did you mean release as 12th gen is available for purchase? Because right now the latest reports are showing 12th gen available/release for Q4 2021.

oh you didn't hear intel wants to go back to 45nm for 12th gen, but they'll use a '7nm design' and put it on a 4'x6' sheet of silicon, draws 12,000w but it'll edge out the 5800x

ok the point of this crap post is?

is it too difficult for you to understand I'm being facetious, making a light hearted joke about intel's poor idea of porting 10nm design to 14nm

or is this just you being some kind of edgelord, in that case I'm sorry I didn't impress you

Because the more you explain it, the more it sounds like an announcement rather than a release...

I think I'm wasting my time in this topic.
