Yeah, I mean, they've been hanging around +15% for multiple microarchitecture generations on top of a pretty solid baseline. That's not bad, especially since they've done it on a reasonably quick cadence. (But it was kind of funny watching this thread whip itself into a frenzy about how +25% or higher was a done deal and +40% was plausible...)
How do I get 50% moar skt score off a 96c Turin at 16% moar PPC?

And nobody has addressed the efficiency yet. Even at 16% perf at the same wattage, means perf/watt is even better that Zen 4, and that blew Intel away

That's not the issue.
To get 50% moar socket perf on a 96C Turin assuming modest clock bumps, you need >30% PPC.
better L3 eviction strategy can make a serious impact
Not that much.
SMT improvements (increase in replicated vs competitively shared structures?)
Doesn't look like it given how nonexistent perf uplift from SMT on is on Turin-D.
Lower latency to remote chiplet L3?
It's SIR n-copy, doesn't impact it much and given no uncore changes of note, also not happening.
Those are actually more useful in a relative sense than GB5 AES.
And it's faster there, just that they didn't put it for some reason.

Gaming performance will probably be about the same as x3d zen 4. What a disappointment
I'm happy to avoid the very hacky thread scheduling on X3D. Though I ofc hoped for more, given HandBrake, various AI tasks, and some non-X3D-boosted games I play.

I'm still questioning why they lowered the max wattage on most of the SKU's.

Zen 16% it is.

7/31 is just 8 weeks later. I hope we get 3rd party reviews on Day 1 of the release. Hopefully Anandtech does the deep dive if there is anyone to do it :-( Otherwise we have just Geekrawan.

The issue is if the slides do leak and I show up to this thread at the start of the Keynote, there is a good chance y’all would be talking about IPC and performance targets and then all the surprise would be gone
Dang, just hopped into this thread and I caught up.

Now my day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.

I think 96c Genoa is at least somewhat gimped by memory performance, it doesn't quite scale linearly in practice. If they improved that, it could result in Turin improving comparatively more than desktop Zen5.

Does Turin still use the same IOD?
No, on server side, the IOD is new.

If this is a real slide then saying +16% is being super generous. Look at the tests they're using to calculate that average.. They're using subtests of Geekbench (not the actual GB score) and using GB6 AES-XTS to artificially bring up the average.

Wasn't >15% the original claim from AMD? And not long after they said that, weren't people here and elsewhere starting to run wild with speculation about how they were lowballing? So then we'd hear >20%, then 25%, then 40% and some going even higher than that! I laughed every time I saw people pushing the 40% thing, it was wildly unrealistic but people with an ax to grind against Intel or maybe Apple wanted it to be true so badly they somehow fooled themselves into believing it.

Claiming 16% at launch is right in line with the original claims of ">15%", and if it turns out they had a fudge a little to get there that's understandable given their promise of >15% and the knowledge that they had allowed the Zen 5 hype to get so unrealistic that even a very conservative 16% would be disappointing for a lot of AMD fans.

If AMD was smart they would have tamped down the expectations to avoid all the crazy claims of 25, 30, 40% and more. All that does is create disappointment - and probably reduced their sales as no doubt some people who believed Zen 5 was going to be a massive jump (or at least thought there was a chance) held off buying. Some of those buyers might decide to hold off a bit longer to see what Intel can do, and if they can deliver (which remains to be seen, the inflated expectations thing seems to be starting on that side lately) those are sales AMD loses because they were content to let the speculation and hype run wild and uncorrected.
