That's for data, max I've seen in nop chains is 17-18 bytes a cycle for a single core.
And since Z5 makes no performance-relevant LLC changes...
...well it shouldn't happen.

Reread the chart. It's fetch bandwidth when executing 2B NOPs. You only need 16B/cycle for full 8insns throughput. No Zen is limited by L3 throughput on this workload. It just highlights that the core can decode 8insns per clock from icache.

This is what they showed at ZEN4 X3D launch:View attachment 101647
14% faster than 13900K on average. Reality was like 4% faster.



Watch dogs legion showing 17% vs 13900k.



Horizon ZD showing a 24% improvement over the 13900K.

Considering an AMD rep also said it won't be faster than Zen 4X3D, it's unlikely to be much, if at all, faster than the 14900k.

It will depend on games suite as always. Some places may show Z4X3D faster, others may show Zen 5 faster, just depends on what and how they test.

And here is the 7800X3D Vs 14900K extreme profile result.



Assuming comparable test runs zen 5 should be faster in Horizon Zero Dawn, F1 23 and broadly even in CP2077. No dota2, hitman 3 or borderlands 3 in this test suite.

So I would not be surprised if Zen 5 was actually faster than z4X3D in a lot of AAA titles but it won't be a clean sweep and I doubt it will do as well in stuff like ACC, MSFS and other titles that work great with the 3d cache.

Unless AMD are outright lying the 9950X should be around 10-15% faster than the 14900K on average.
With the cherry-picked set of games and "Intel Baseline Profile", why not? )
Just wondering if reviewers gonna use it with Intel CPUs in Zen 5 launch tests.

It is a 6 game test suite, 5 of which are regularly included in various independent outlets so not exactly cherry picked. Seems the standard one at the high end of the range, one at the low end and then 4 that cover that gap.

GNR-04 says they tested in may with the Intel Default profile on an MSI MEG Z790 ACE Max (MS-7D86) so if you want to go digging I am sure you can find out what those settings actually did on that board at that time with that bios (I assume the MS code is the bios version).

The most interesting thing for me is that ZEN5 vs ZEN5 has more differences in terms of yArch than ZEN4 vs ZEN4c. Not a good move imo, they were so proud about the fact that ZEN4c is the same yArch, they had slides specifically for that. And now Strix has half the FPU without any official sign?

It's not an issue I think. What they were proud of is having the ISA parity between performance and compact cores, that remains true.

And the die area difference between Zen4 va Zen4C was bigger than the die area difference between Zen5 vs Zen5C

Reviewers have so many options:
  1. They could use the figures from their previous 14900K reviews
  2. They could re-run everything with the latest drivers and original BIOS profile maybe without any of the various security updates.
  3. They could re-run everything with the latest drivers and using the new supposedly stable BIOS profile.
Number 1 would be easiest for the reviewers but doesn't leave much confidence in the quality of their reviews.

Number 2 would please Intel PR but again won't be a great review. If their review sample has suffered from silicon degradation in the meantime, I'm sure Intel PR can sample a replacement.

Number 3 might get them on the Intel PR blacklist but is the only fair way to do their reviews.

I think the tradeoffs AMD has made for Strix make sense (as of now). Do most laptops need high levels of SIMD performance? Particularly when they already have a GPU and now NPU as well?

What drives me crazy is when things are disabled just for market segmentation. A different die implies they are customizing the product and not just passively taking advantage of market power through price discrimination.

I think a lot of the recent disappointment in this forum is because CPUs aren't making as much progress as they used to (ignoring that long period of Intel stagnation). I think we will see huge improvements to NPUs and maybe further improvements in IGPU and bandwidth.

I asked Hardware Unboxed, and they said they will re-run everything from scratch.

I am assuming Option 3.

This is a lesson I learnt, don’t catch the AMD hype bullet train. It’s especially prevalent in this site. From now on I’m trusting leaks that are less than a week away from announcement or release. It’s better that way.

Even when it releases we need to wait for third-party benchmarks since no company provides the full truth.
You don't hop on the hype train expecting it to be accurate, you join for the excitement and following disappointment
(And what else should we be doing?)

Perhaps this explains the unusually long gap between announcement and release date.
Strix launches on July 15, 42 days after announcement.
Zen 2 launched on July 7th, 2019, 42 days after being announced on May 26th.

This gap is meaningless, it does not tell us anything. The announcement is tied to Computex where Microsoft wanted to hold their victorious AI march.
