Not sure how we missed this one in the mix ?!

While monitoring the MSM tech sites and talking heads at YT, we missed that Puget Systems, who are an offical Intel W2400/3400 release partner, did a Content Creation review / benchmark report earlier this month for the W2400.

They spend considerable time comparing the platform against the previous W3300 series and reporting gains over the previous architecture, do a head to head against TR Pro, and throw in a 13900K for some comparative performance results, but barely mention the performance of the 13900K in its summaries ?

TL;DR : Reads like an Intel marketing puff piece , while ignoring the elephants in the room , one being the W3400 is the direct competitor to the TR Pro , not the W2400 , and that the i9 13900K in anything CPU bound is outperforming both W2400 and TR Pro of similar thread counts , mirroring our direct comparison results of the W2465X v 13900K , which was my main focus. In some benches the 13900K was the lead performer outright even against the W2495X.

Total Peak Power consumption under load is also a grey area, where they only list Total Watt Hour ?, which I don't have a full grasp on that in relation to actual chip power draw, maybe someone can help clarify that for me.

There is no detail on clocking , just some rambling about Power Modes, ie, tests should be run under High Performance Power Mode, really, let me make a note of that one, LOL !

My summary, nothing surprising there in respect to what we have seen with the DAW benchmarking , just confirms we are over the target.

I have the final DAWbench BUS and CubaseBench results which I'll compile and post up over the next few days.

I'll be keen to see some of the other reviews and benchmarks from the MSM sites, surely they can't be too far away ?
