  1. #AskGN would disabling HyperTreading AND cores on a 10900K, coupled with overclocking it, the cache and memory, for specific games (like knowing that game X only uses 8 cores, so disable HT on all of them, while also disabling 2 cores), do you think that using that would significantly increase the performance and/or the power usage & temps of that specific CPU ? If I got your attention, how much do you think that a 10900K with a 4c/8t would compare to a 6700K ? Or in 4c/4t configuration vs a 6600K ? I'm asking in the context of being curious of the overall advancements in the Skylake-generation of CPUs. Just with the cores&threads configuration, the 10900K should perform much better, only from the power budget alone. But I'm also curious if the frequencies would be the same if the power targets are matched. Or vice-versa, if the power usage is the same if they are locked at the same frequencies. In this last scenario I'm curious about the performance too, since I think the power usage will be lower for 10900K, effectively meaning that it has all the same limits, so in this case the IPC can be compared (if there's any improvement). I have to say, I'm very excited about the overclocking improvements that Intel added to this 10th gen (...."gen"....). Too bad they're still a bit too expensive and behind in IPC and power draw. Intel really had a lot of bad luck by not being able to deliver the 10nm manufacturing even now, 3 years later (or is it 5 later than initially annouced?). The laptop CPUs looked interesting, with pretty good IPC increase, only drawn back by limited cores and frequencies. I was hoping they would have something by now, but I think that on desktop 10nm will be skipped entirely. Also #AskGN, how would Intel's 14nm, TSMC's 7nm and the other 7nm variants would be called using the new metrics proposed by ... that consortium that I forgot it's name and I'm too lazy to check ? I even forgot the metrics they proposed to use. I only remember that there were about 3 of them, the main ones, and that one of them would be the transistor density. Anyway, seeing them in your videos and hearing them would get all of us used to them sooner rather than later :) If you read this far, cheers!
