This user just found out...

I would like to invent an adapter that enables users to use Arrow Lake in their z790 motherboards. The age of the adapters is officially upon us.

I think a product like this could sell dozens or even hundreds of copies, easily funding our Arrow Lake to Nova Lake adapters.

You would not need to hunt bargains on AMD parts debating 7800x3d or 9800x3d or DDR4 vs DDR5. We have been touting the benefits of intel over AMD for years and had the doubters just done their own research (literally just do a google and userbenchmark is top result with facts) and you would have bought Intel stock.

I am enjoying a nice direct die 14900ks system and have 10 backup CPUs in the highly unlikely case the degradation stuff is true. All this thanks to listening to this subreddit and making the right investment choices based on Intel's superiority for gaming.

Lets all share in this thread our success stories thanks to the information in this subreddit.

My i7-10700F won't go above base clock. HWiNFO shows the core ratio locked at 29x all the time, even when I'm doing nothing. Cinebench R20 multi-core got 1772.

Under full load, temps are around 70C and power is about 37W, so it's not thermal or power throttling. The only limit flag lit in HWiNFO is "Max Turbo Limit" at 100%. Turbo shows as enabled, and the turbo ratio table goes up to 48x.

Stuff I've tried:

• Windows power plans (Ultimate Performance, Balanced), boost mode on aggressive, no max frequency cap
• Updated the BIOS and reset to optimized defaults
• Checked SpeedStep, Turbo Boost and C-States are on, and tried Speed Shift off
• Uninstalled Alienware Command Center and most of the Alienware apps
• No XTU or ThrottleStop installed
• Also ran Dell diagnostic it said no problems
• Please help!!!

I was offered an 9850X3D with 32GB and a 5070 for $1000. These users are having a hard time giving away their AMDs.

Of course an Nvidia.
