Too early to do that with Ice Lake, but I could see it happening with Tiger Lake once 10nm yields have matured more and transistor performance/efficiency is up to allow all cores to run loaded.
With Coffee Lake going 6C/12T, hopefully Intel goes 8C/16T for i7 and 6C/12T for i5 with Icelake mainstream LGA 15xx platform.
HEDT LGA 2xxx platforms should really be 10C or more cores.
Core parking issues probably. GameGPU do seem to have bad data control.That's odd. Why does the 6600 have the highest minimum framerates? And why is it beating the 6700 at all?
I’m excited to announce that Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is the first cloud provider to offer the next generation Intel Xeon processor, codenamed Skylake.
Customers across a range of industries, including healthcare, media and entertainment and financial services ask for the best performance and efficiency for their high-performance compute workloads. With Skylake processors, GCP customers are the first to benefit from the next level of performance.
Skylake includes Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX-512), which make it ideal for scientific modeling, genomic research, 3D rendering, data analytics and engineering simulations. When compared to previous generations, Skylake’s AVX-512 doubles the floating-point performance for the heaviest calculations. [...]
Probably one of those badly optimized games that actually runs worse with hyperthreading.That's odd. Why does the 6600 have the highest minimum framerates? And why is it beating the 6700 at all?
Based on Hardware.fr's review: Core i7-7700K is 25.2% faster than Ryzen 7 1800X in games, while the latter is 35.7% faster in applications (stock vs stock). IPC: Broadwell-E is 28.3% faster per clock in games and 11.9% faster per clock in applications, Skylake-X should increase the lead in August. Assuming Intel can improve the performance of entry-level Skylake-X performance by 10-15%, which is very doable with a clockspeed increase + higher IPC thanks to the newer core and new cache structure - their entry-level HEDT (6800K's successor) will almost match the fastest Ryzen in application performance while beating it in games by >30%.
Considering the typical overclocking potential between Kaby Lake and Ryzen, Kaby Lake or the 7700k is the better option for typical / mainstream usage.
Disabling SMT on Intel (or rather "optimizing" for smt Youtube video) boosts gaming performance as well so same 'ol same 'ol.Disabling SMT on Ryzen boosts gaming performance ~10% which will close the gap with BDW-E. Which anyone who cares about gaming on that chip will do so, considering people favored HT-less Intel chips that had less of a loss with it on.
Also, SKL-X will be priced to match.

yep, and watch, I bet you SKX will be a good OCer.
Ryzen is a good value MT part, but the expectations that they were going to curb-stomp Intel were probably unrealistic.
