My current system is Intel 10900k on Asus Prime Z-490-A and it works really well - but modern software is asking more.
Was keeping an eye on the latest Intel chips but it appears like they are not benchmarking much over the 14900k. I’m not too interested in AMD as I had issues with that system before. I also want to stay on Windows .
What are we all looking for best options in 2025?
Did you check this one out?
Hi Hendrix. I didnt see this chart no. It has been drowned out by other internet benchmarks that are not being favourable about the new processors. The Ultra 9 looks like its doing well here though. Wondering what Motherboard plays nicely with it that offers plenty of PCIe
From what I researched all the negative articles come from a gaming perspective… so always a little biased.
But yeah… the PCIe slot numbers on mainboards are declining… that frustrates me too.
Absolutely. I need 5 without having to look into expansion chassis which can bring new problems
The average of new intel LGA 1851 mother board is around 3 PCIe port now, maybe i will have to get rid of one of my UAD card as i need USB port extension stably powered with PCIe card extension.
i still waiting to get more bench, intel told about improvement with next BIOS update, but I was already surprised by the first DAWBench showing that intel is still over AMD.
Intel 13e and 14e generation were over heating and needed the top of the top cooler system, so for quiet systeme not sure they are the best option. But the new intel Ultra Serie improve a lot in that regard.
I own intel 9900k, so I’m really looking forward for more experiences and bench from users before to be sure making the move…
Yes the reduction of PCIe is happening but I’m running 3 UAD PCIe cards. (plus RME HDSP and graphics) I will wait a little longer for the dust to settle but interested to hear about those adopting the new Intel chips and also using UAD PCI cards in the system in terms of motherboard choice
