The highest result attributed to a 24-core Nova Lake-S processor reaches 5,210 points in the single-thread test, followed by another submission scoring 5,191 points. For comparison, we selected baselines from existing processors with overall CPU Mark scores close to their published PassMark Averages.

The Core Ultra 9 285K scores 5,059 points and Core i9-14900KF at 4,635 points. This puts the fastest unnamed Intel sample around 3% ahead of Arrow Lake and 12% ahead of Raptor Lake Refresh in this particular test.

The 24-core sample also achieves 61,509 points in the overall CPU Mark test, with another submission reaching 60,964 points. This puts it ahead of the Core i9-14900KF baseline at 58,074 points, but below the Core Ultra 9 285K at 67,274 points and Ryzen 9 9950X3D at 72,065 points.

Discussion Can someone explain to me like I am 10 years old why all storage prices are double what they were a year ago

0 Upvotes

I get the "AI data center" think and using more but there is no shortage, so the prices are high just because companies do not need us and are ripping us off? This is what a buddy told me lol

Same things with Graphic cards? Will CPU's go up soon?

This is based on a rumor from Jaykihn and MLID. There is no confirmation. The headline is specifically claiming N2P for the compute tile, as other tiles still are rumored to be 18AP.

HWCooling calls 18A as 1.8nm.
