These early benchmarks, which were probably leaked by marketers, indicate the best-case scenario for Intel’s new Arrow Lake desktop processors. The new chiplet-based design results in around 90 ns of memory latency, compared to around 60 ns on Intel’s 12th, 13th and 14th generations. Consequently, gaming performance on the 200 series (like AMD Ryzen) is susceptible to frame drops. Meanwhile, Intel’s 13600K and 14600K continue to offer almost unparalleled real-world gaming performance for around $200 USD. Spending more money on a gaming CPU is normally a waste of money as games are rarely CPU bound under real-world conditions. Without significant improvements in social media marketing: forums, reddit, youtube etc., Intel now faces the very real risk of bankruptcy (third worst-performing S&P500 stock from Jan to Aug 2024). [Oct '24 CPUPro]

 Frequently Asked Questions

 Best User Rated

Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
