whats the difference between an i7 and an ultra 7? is an ultra 7 always better than an i7/are there any drawbacks to an ultra 7?

i’m looking for a new laptop, primarily for school but just as a general personal computer. most of the comparisons ive seen talk primarily/exclusively about desktop builds and is really heavy handed on the ai capabilities which i dont care about, but ive also seen mentions of better performance with video editing and 3D modeling (which will probably come up within my degree) along with better performance in gaming which is a hobby of mine.

figured id ask here as your 2024 computer buying guide has been extremely helpful so far (i only know a bit more than average about computers so this whole thing has just been making my head hurt)

Intel is deeply annoying and rebranded their model line so now it's the Core Ultra series; basically as of right now Core Ultra is the equivalent of a 15th-gen i7, it's their newest release in that class. I need to update the guide to reflect that and also need to figure out whatever the naming/numbering scheme is, and also add some AMD processors because I'm becoming familiar enough with the Ryzen line to make recommendations.

[ginandoldlace]

Partnering with  Samsung UK and Intel UK has advanced my ability to analysing my dives using AI accelerated software running on Intel Core Ultra processors or gaming Galaxy Book 4 Pro. But it’s also advanced my gaming experience which is just as important!

I don’t care about the computer sponsorship. More interested in the speedos.

Oh My God...inZOI...

"Recommended System Requirements for inZOI (Life simulator from Krafton Games, South Korea)

For those wanting to experience inZOI in all its glory with high frame rates and the most detailed visuals, aim for the following recommended specifications:

CPU: A more powerful processor like the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or the Intel Core i5-10600K will deliver a smoother performance even in the most demanding scenarios.

RAM: Doubling the minimum requirement, 32 GB of RAM will ensure that your game runs seamlessly and enables extensive multitasking.

Video Card: Upgrading to an AMD Radeon RX 6800 or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 video card will allow you to enjoy inZOI at higher resolutions and with better graphical fidelity.

Dedicated Video RAM: A hefty 10240 MB will give you the bandwidth needed for ultra-quality textures and prevent any graphical stuttering.

Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader: Remaining at version 5.0, but coupled with more robust hardware, you’ll be able to maximize the game’s visual settings.

OS: Windows 10/11 with the latest updates is again recommended for the best compatibility.

Free Disk Space: A consistent 50 GB of free space is recommended for game files, mods, and updates.

-quoted from https://inzoiresource.com/blogs/22/Minimum-and-Recommended-System-Requirements-for-inZOI

Yeah...that's my wallet finding out I'm going to have to spend at least $4,000.00 to run inZOI decently on my computer. The thing is that you can no longer play these newest games on "integrated graphics chips". You have to get a dedicated card. My wife wants to play Dragon Age 4 (The Veilguard) which is coming out on October 31, 2024. And those games are just as intense on hardware as it is with inZOI.

Minimum and RECOMMENDED requirements for Dragon Age 4 "The Veilguard"

Me, personally... I want to play Cities Skylines 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Recommended requirements for those two games. Cities Skylines 2

As for MSFS 2024 (due to come out in 2024?)

It's over and above what is pictured in MSFS2020. Chillblast said that the "recommended specs" for FS2024 is the following:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 PC Recommended Requirements

OS: Windows 10

Processor: Intel i5-8400 | AMD Ryzen 5 1500X

Memory: 16 GB RAM

Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 970 | AMD Radeon RX 590

Storage: 150 GB available space

I'm calling HORSESHIT on that right now. I'm saying it's more in the realm of what inZOI and Dragon Age the Veilguard is putting out. You don't get that kind of gaming experience with the specs Chillblast espouses. Especially on the processor and graphics end of things. After all, on the FS forum board, the recommended specs being tossed about just for FS2020 is the following:

Intel i7-12700K CPU

Z690 motherboard

32GB DDR4 3600mhz RAM (upgrades for this on the site are very cheap, but like you said I’ve seen a couple instances where this RAM outperforms most others)

1TB SSD

Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti

Liquid cooled, nice case, 850 watt power supply, etc

Frankly as far as I'm concerned, I'm tempted to go all out and perhaps go so far as investing in:

i9-13900K CPU

64GB RAM DDR4

4TB SSD

NVidia RTX 4090

Z790 GAMING X AX

at least a 1000watt power supply so that I can run peripherals like scanners and other photographic requirements...on top of just my gaming shit.

...at minimum.

I'm sure there will be detractors going, "You don't need that kind of hardware to play Sims 3...or the current games"...well, the main thing in building a system is that you have to shell out for future proofing (as much as technology development allows at any given time) so that you don't have to spend as much money upgrading your computer system on an yearly basis as opposed to once every three to five years and that Sims 3 is not the only game that I play. And the new releases coming out are that graphics-intensive...

I play SWTOR currently and I'm finding that the game stutters especially when there is a lot of people on a server. I want to minimize that so I'm thinking the more RAM I have and the better the video card, I'll get a little less lag out of it and that will help when I'm taking on Imp or Pub forces whichever side I'm playing against at the time. That and maybe improved graphics to the point where it looks semi-realistic. I'm also planning to get Dragon Age 1-3 and then Dragon Age 4 as well. Plus there are a few other graphics intensive games such as Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS: World) as well that are attracting my attention. I may even get into Call of Duty (depending on the feasibility of the user controls.

Mass Effect drives me absolutely friggin' nuts when it comes to controlling my character Shepard - she's a "femShep". I have to key-bind my movement keys to keys that I'm familiar with in order to keep from going bug-frickin' mental. That also messes with the shoot key too. I'll get there someday. In the words of the ever-immortal Maverick Mitchell:

So in a nutshell, these latest games if not forcing people to upgrade to a better class of gaming PC, will find that a lot of people with restrictive budgets may just drop out of the PC market and try to find it on console (if they play console games) no matter how restrictive the console games are in comparison to the PC versions as opposed to spending $4000 on a new gaming system. A standard PS5 is $499.95 CDN as opposed to spending 10X that much trying to set up a PC to be able to play these newer games. Add a couple hundred dollars buying a hard-drive for these consoles will maybe bring that amount to around $600.00 still much cheaper than buying a whole new PC. Dragon Age the Veilguard will only be released for PS5 and PC - No plans in the works for XBOX Series X as far as I know. And for now, inZOI is PC release only (with an intent to release to console later on down the road - though who knows when that will be) Why though am I looking at a new PC on a restrictive budget? Well, it's because I want to play the games in their full graphics and be unrestricted and potentially moddable states. Does it mean I'm going to have to save a lot of money while waiting on a new PC? Yes. Do I have the patience to wait? Yes...I'm in my fifties, I've waited this long...might as well.

🤣

I just ordered a bunch of pieces parts that I'm gonna turn into a computer.

I've built systems before, like eh 15 years ago or more, and I cannot overstate how delightful it is that the persistence of modularity means that while the system I'm building now will be functionally the equivalent of dozens of times the power of the computer I built then, the bones of it are all pretty similar.

Motherboard. Cpu. Cooler. Power supply. RAM. Storage. Case. Fans. Graphics card. Operating system. Monitor.

Now some things have changed. You can now buy literally everything with vivid rainbow lights, and for a few minutes I stared at the pretty modern cases with their windows and rave -like interiors, and dreamed of the gayest computer on the planet.

Then I remembered that I'm a photophobic mushroom who computers in a darkened room and hates bright high contrast lighting and spent more dollars to get a case without a window.

Also, water cooling terrifies me. Not because the idea is unsound but because while I'm confident in my ability to insert tab a into slot b to assemble a computer by going slowly and following instructions, the very notion of me handling liquids around electronic components sounds inherently fraught.

So I did not go with components which require such things.

Infodumping below the cut.

(for the curious: fractal design define r5 case, msi pro z790-p WiFi ddr4 mobo, i5136000kf (14 core), 64gb ddr4 RAM, radeon rx6800 16gb, deepcool ak400 zero dark plus cooler, 4x 140mm case fans, Corsair 850w modular platinum ps, 1 tb ssd for the os and a 2tb ssd for the games, both pcie4x4 nvme, and a curved 27 inch 2k monitor. This is upgrading from a 2015 laptop which is still very robust with an i76700 quad core processor, 16gb RAM, 1tb ssd and a gtx950m 4gb graphics card which just this year stopped meeting minimum specs for the games I want to play. I figure the new system could last me another 8-10 years.)

Is 64 gb of ram overkill? Hahahaha yes. But it's about a hundred bucks. Is 3tb overkill? No but it's also about 120 bucks. Do I need a 27 inch monitor? Mayyyybe but it's $200. The real splurge is the video card and CPU, but I'm not going to regret those at all when I'm playing starfield and bg3.

(I'm also going to play every game I've been playing at low settings on ultra just because I can. Subnautica is gonna be so pretty.)

Interestingly, the parts come with three games, including the one I initially decided to build a system for (starfield). The processor comes with assassin's creed mirage and something I didn't recognize. Going with Intel for the processor and AMD for the GPU ended up being very much in my favor that way as if I'd gone ryzen, I'd have ended up with two copies of starfield.

I think the last time I built a system from scratch it had 4-8 gigs of RAM and a 2gb video card and maybe a dual core cpu maybe not. I've done some bare bones systems since then and a lot of upgrades, but not from-the-ground-up.

Amusingly, while doing this, I thought I was going to hand my laptop down to my son. Then I realized that in a pandemic fugue state in 2021 I bought him and my husband computers with part of the stimulus that were basically maxed out refurb systems that somehow are running 32g of RAM each and the only real weakness in their systems are graphics, which hubby doesn't use and which can be easily upgraded for my son for like <$150 to double his vram.

I have minimal memory of buying these systems but it makes sense for how little they complain about them. (old Dell optiplex systems. I think I spent 400 on each of them at the time. With upgrades.)

So since I've been hyperfixated on this process I've been watching a lot of pc building YouTube and it's been very helpful but also very popcorn. So much drama. Le gasp.

My one regret about not getting a flash light up system with lots of rgb is that it would impress the hell out of my 11 year old but I seriously can't deal with that much light up distraction and the extra cost for the components has been spent on a better GPU.

Anyway this is all going to be much cheaper than trying to find a system with equivalent stats prebuilt, and it's been a while since that was true when I was in the market for a computer.

[hayleylovesjessica]

Because our current laptop is 4 1/2 years old and becoming kinda glitchy, my partner and I took advantage of the Black Friday sale at Best Buy and bought a new laptop, a 16" 2-in-1 HP Envy with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor. We also got Windows 360, and about that -- when the fuck did Microsoft go to an annual subscription model for its OS? WTF?? Having to pay an annual fee is such BS. At least I'll be able to claim all of these expenses when we do taxes in the spring.

Dell XPS 13 Upgraded with Intel Core Ultra 200V Processor; Delivers an Impressive 26-Hour Battery Life

This year has already been full of surprises for the PC hardware world, and Dell just added another twist by unveiling a new version of the XPS 13 laptop, now powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 200V processors. Thanks to these cutting-edge chips, the laptop now offers a remarkable 26-hour battery life.

This marks the third time in the past year that Dell has refreshed its XPS 13 with new hardware. The laptop first launched with the initial version of the Core Ultra processors and was updated with Snapdragon X in July. Now, it’s getting another upgrade with the Core Ultra 200V.

Specs of the Dell XPS 13 with Intel Lunar Lake Processor

The Intel Core Ultra 200V processor in the Dell XPS 13 brings powerful neural processing capabilities, delivering up to 48 trillion operations per second (TOPS) for AI tasks. The chip also features significantly faster high-performance and low-power cores. Intel claims its integrated Xe2 graphics are 32% faster than the previous generation, 16% faster than AMD’s HX 360, and 68% faster than the 12-core Snapdragon X Elite.

One key difference in this new version of the Dell XPS 13, compared to previous models with the Core Ultra processors, is the lack of upgradability for RAM. In the Core Ultra 200V, the memory is designed to be integrated directly into the processor.

Beyond the new processor, the latest Dell XPS 13 is the first laptop to feature a dual-layer OLED display for enhanced brightness. According to Dell, users can achieve up to 26 hours of battery life while streaming Netflix in 1080p on a Full HD+ screen with 150 nits of brightness.

Starting today, the Dell XPS 13 is available for pre-order, with a base price of $1,400.

Intelは15日、同社のコンシューマ向けCPUブランド「Core」のブランディングを変更すると発表した。今年後半から市場に投入予定の次世代CPU「Meteor Lake」以降に登場するIntel製CPUは、従来の「Core i9」といった表記から、「i」の文字が取り外され「Core 9」という表記に変更されるという。Coreプロセッサのブランディング変更は、2008年に「Core i」というプロセッサ名を導入して以来約15年ぶりとのこと（The Verge、ITmedia、PC Watch、4Gamer.net）。 基本的には「i」がなくなるだけで、数字が大きくなるほど上位のプロセッサになる点は同じだという。SKU名の付け方は、従来のスタイルを踏襲するものの、今後は「第○世代」という表記を廃止し、「Core 5プロセッサ ♯♯xxxH」といった表記に改めるという。♯♯の部分には世代数が入るとのこと。 これに加えて、新たに先進的なクライアントPC向けCPUとして「Core Ultraプロセッサ」が追加される。Core Ultraには、Core Ultra 5、Core Ultra 7、Core Ultra 9の3種類が用意される。プロセッサー・ナンバーは「Core Ultra 7 processor ♯♯xx」のような表記になるとのこと。ただし、Ultraとしてブランディングされる基準は現時点では不明とのこと。 ブランド変更の理由としては、Coreブランドが登場より15周年経過したこと、Meteor Lakeではクライアント向けとしては初めてIntel 4プロセス採用と3Dパッケージング技術が投入されること、Intel AI BoostというAIエンジンも導入されるためだとしている。
