And were you guys saying this when Zen 3 Crypto was 2.1X Comet Lake? Nope. The crypto score for Rocket Lake vs Zen 3 is actually closer than it was for Zen 3 vs Comet Lake.

The only difference is that Intel is winning that now by a big margin, so now it must be excluded....

It should have been excluded both times, for sure, and the disparate treatment does probably reflect some AMD favouritism, but if Zen 3 is very close to Comet Lake in GB when you disregard crypto, that just means Zen 3 is relatively weak at GB compared with other workloads. Zen 1 and 2 underperformed in GB too.

This is just funny to watch. I'm just being cautiously optimistic, but if RKL-S shows a higher ipc than Zen 3 then what are all the naysayers going to say? This chip has been trashed so much in this very thread. I'm going to see how all those generous ipc numbers of Zen 3 stacks up in a three-way comparison with CML-S and RKL-S. My quick math is, if Zen 2 is ~6% higher ipc than CML-S and Zen 3 is ~20% higher ipc than Zen2, then a RKL-S that equals Zen 3 or beats it slightly is closing in on 30% ipc gain over CML-S. If that were to happen, I'll call it the chickens coming home to roost in AMDLand lol.

I'm not sure it should be completely excluded. AES does affect a lot of the user experience. But in my view, for a client system, AES went beyond being noticeable to a user at skylake. I mean sure, if you open up 20 youtube videos at once maybe it's noticeable. But, who does that?

Just on these benchmarks in general though, there's so much variation from one machine to another I think anything under 5% can easily be due to things other than the CPU.

I mean take the comparison below. These are both 10400's, mine on the left and someone else on the right. Both of these are very high single thread for a 10400, the vast majority of 10400 scores are below 1100. I was curious, how they got more.

Then I noticed that they are running a Unify which is a $300 motherboard vs my Prime Plus which is a $150 motherboard. The memory is almost certainly different. As you can see, the win isn't 100%. I win in image compression, and machine learning, by 7.5% and 16.5% - significant.

Also worth noting, I beat that system in multi-core by 4.7%.

What I'm saying is, you can tune these rigs to do well at different things. Memory bandwidth vs latency, is probably what this reflects. Again, these are the same CPU on Z490 :

If Alder is the hybrid there might be (Sapphire Rapids?) parts for HEDT with golden coves only?

Hybrid is fine if both the small and big cores can do the same things, just at different speed and power, but with Gracemont having less features it feels sort of a waste… also another step into messy software compatibility.
This is a good point. There are almost no news about "Ice Lake-X". The Ice Lake parts are long overdue and based on an oldish version of 10nm tech. This sounds like even the top SKUs wouldn't be looking that shiny vs old Cascade Lake-X.

On the other hand, Sapphire Rapids should be based on the new 10nm tech, feature high IPC cores, and nextgen IO. So these "Sapphire Rapids-X" products got way better potential than "Ice Lake-X".

Yea, I dont get the hybrid architecture for desktop. I mean AMD had 16 big core desktop chips 3 years ago, and after still another year, Intel can match that? Sad really.
I think there is one good benefit of small cores: background tasks. My two work computers are currently at (1) 7% to 15% CPU and (2) 20% to 30% utilization just sitting idle with only one tab of Chrome open to google.com and nothing else running. My home computers are similar, but I don't have them handy to give numbers. Put Windows, Teams, anti-virus, and anti-malware on the small cores and I'd instantly see a noticable speed boost. Not only would the big cores be fully available, but they'd be cooler for longer turbo and they'd have less competition for better scheduling.

That 7% to 30% speed boost for me is worth the minimal cost of adding a few small cores. And only a couple programs would even need to know they exist. Windows would just need to know to use the small cores for these few tasks and big cores for everything else.

That, and as Jpiniero implied, Intel can't do more big cores profitably. Intel can do more (see 18 core Xeon chips that have been out 6+ years) they just won't profit doing so.

Looks like some folks have made a mockery of the M1 MacOS Geekbench scores. MacOS apparently has some advantages here that make Geekbench not as cross-platform as they claim :

It will match it in ST (at 5.3GHz..) if ST IPC improvement is 18% from CML to RKL, in MT improvement should be roughly 25% to match Zen 3, wich is not the case, and they cant rely on frequency since CML is already at full tilt TDP wise.

Sure it can certainly match Zen 3, and even beat it in single threaded stuff. The price you have to pay though is that it will double as a space heater.

Sapphire Rapids-X does exist. It will appear on the Fishhawk Falls with Alderlake Point PCH. It was called X699, also marketing name is subject to change. However, I wouldn't expect it until around 2022Q4.
PS : I haven't heard anything about Ice lake-X yet.
Holy sh*t. I did not expect Komachi is on these forums. Hello !

高频版 Tiger Lake 来袭!Intel 11 代 ES CPU 超前评测 - 电脑硬件 - Chiphell - 分享与交流用户体验

Big thread of details about this Rocket Lake ES.

Although seems it's running at 5GHz instead of the stated 4.8GHz maximum single core?
Apparently reporting the multipliers like this can happen when overclocked?

I don't have an Intel chip I can test with - going off what a friend told me when they saw this.

some rough translation:

RKL VS SKL IPC difference(4Ghz):

R15 13.6%
R20 17%
R23 17.3%
CPU-Z 14.8%

RKL has lower temperature than SKL due to the lid redesign. (184.48watt, 76C while AVX3 load)

Some other info in that thread already in those images(firestrike, time spy) no need to translation.

Gaming perf still unknown. still possible to have good uplift in game.

Last paragraph the author is pessimistic as some leakers before(less core, can't compete against 12+cores Zen), but optimistic about OC on RKL.

New Rocket Lake benchmark overclocked to all core 5.2 Ghz. 706 is pretty good for single core. Don't ask about power consumption.

5.3GHz stock boost clock scored lower in single thread than 5.2GHz all core.

Thermal Velocity Boost strikes again!

Also considering the AIDA FPU power consumption of 183W at 4.3GHz trust me when I say I don't want to know power consumption.

According to CPU-Z RKL (with a 64b OS) has 4.65x the IPC of a Core duo based E5500 using a 32b OS...

Dunno what is the validity of this bench, but looks like it s not even usable for a same brand comparison that overlay more than one or two gens, not talking of cross brands comparisons..

CPU-z is a benchmark that's held together by duck-tape.

Anyone else remember when Zen completely broke it and scored stupidly well?

Power consumption is what ever is set in the motherboard firmware.
Efficiency is great compared to Skylake
11990K 143W for AVX2 FPU stress and 184W for AVX512 FPU stress.
9900K at 181W AVX2

Rocket Lake would have more 256-bit FPU resources so at 143W it would be beating the 181W 9900k in performance.
In AVX512 FPU stress it would be 50-100% throughput increase over the 9900K iso-power given what we've seen with Ice Lake vs Comet Lake in FP vectorized code with few memory accesses.

I so love how everyone ignores the 10700K running at the same clocks as the 9900K and same core count yet pulling 30W less. Not to mention the fact that the 11900K they're talking about is also only clocking at 4.3GHz vs the 4.7GHz for both the 9900K and 10700K.

That's the third time I've read this exact same thing now between here and Reddit, it's getting boring.

Also, that's quite a large increase to FP performance you're expecting despite the fact that Sunny Cove sports the exact same FP pipeline setup as Skylake. 2x256 - the only difference is it can use both at the same time to handle AVX512.

Oh and is now a bad time to point out that AIDA FPU is still a rather light test in the scheme of things?

Even compared to 10700K the 11900K ES AVX2 power draw is 16W under the Skylake based 10700K which is a surprise considering that the cores wil grow quite a bit and have like 15% overall better IPC. This is probably ES related, they are lower clocked. It's unlikely that a final clocked 11900K will draw less than 10700K.

If nothing else, it's entertaining to read the Google translations of those posts. Here's a few choice comments :

"Is this cold water fish the great demon cold water fish of this forum?"

"Isn’t it true that toothpaste was leading back then? It’s okay for Su’s mother to improve and sling toothpaste... It’s just a matter of fact. "

"It seems that the multi-core debugging of agricultural entrepreneurs is good "
