Intel wants everybody to stop using benchmarks and instead think about the "benefits," presumably somehow not provable with benchmarks, of its products. Rather than marketing on its actually present advantages, Intel is instead taking an Apple approach of marketing on emotion and feeling of a product, which is much more nebulous and harder to follow. Meanwhile, we're discussing stock and availability of the new AMD Ryzen 3 3100 & 3300X CPUs and Intel Core 10-series CPUs, like the i5-10600K, all of which have been scarcely available on retailers. Corsair, in additional news, is replacing some SF-series PSUs affected by a defect, and Windows 10 is adding GPU scheduling.
