I haven’t posted on here in well over a year… there is an explanation to that from my twitter page here
For roughly a year now I have been using my new PC build with an I7 10700F at 2.9GHz base speed, and 4.4GHz o 4.6 GHz speed utilization with no open applications. I have never really had the desire to boost or moderate its default performance as it renders most game content for the rest of my PC at a pretty smooth rate. Although performance wear down overtime from heavy usage is a concern a lot of people focus on.
Tests with Minecraft (No Optifine)

E.G: Loading Minecraft Current World: 3 – 5 Seconds
Although in my case I am not a heavy CPU user, just moderate performance wise for building in Minecraft or certain model rendering applications like AutoCAD or photoshop which I frequently use. Although being released little less than a month ago, Intel’s 10nm technology implemented in their Alder Lake processors leaves a wider range of diversity within the specifications of the various types of Intel CPU’s out there, making it pretty comparable to the variety of Ryzen nanometer precision technology they have manufactured.

I decided to do a few tests, and some external research. The 12 series of Alder Lake CPU’s a does a great job at rendering with low wattage amounts. Rocket lake from last year has perfected this well but we also still see good upgrades with this. Roughly 20w to 30w at moderate benchmark running. Although this should be expected for any new recent Intel release as it provides us more expandable opportunities to test wattage with overclocking, or to modify performance to meet specific use requirements.
Alder Lake 12 General Consensus
I think generation Alder Lake is a good release of CPU’s from Intel. But there are still other on par alternatives from both AMD and Intel. More or less would meet whatever the consumer desire. Claims of generation Alder Lake being less prone to aging compared to AMD have been claimed. Also, with better memory bandwidth for DDR4 RAM. Maybe better speed?
AMD has its pros in developing software you can use for better image-rendering on programs like AutoCAD. I personally like to use and other programs like Blender, PS, etc, and it works with multiple O.S’s like windows, Linux, which is honestly expected regardless and many others.
This is also dependent on certain conditions of the motherboard like limitations. On the B460 series for example, only a support of 2666 MHz, instead of 3200 128 GB RAM for example is seen. So as to if it alters the future proofing effect of Alder lake with other boards that have power limitations, and locked settings, you can only see hands on. As someone with a B460 board it is inconvenient. But I don’t really need to do much hands on hardware work on my device regardless.
That is the beauty of making a new PC. Because there are so many ways in which you can customize the actual performance. In ways people probably haven’t even thought of before. Although many people tend to take traditional routes like matching up good parts that are compatible. Checking up on how the actual computer, and its drivers for example are aging.
