Well, AMD once made tri-core CPUs so....
Indeed but that was still odd and they were mocked, as usual.Those were four core CPUs with one core disabled, but since the hardware wasn't physically fused off people could unlock the fourth core and get a free upgrade.
I regret there was never 5core and 7core. I'd love that.Well, AMD once made tri-core CPUs so....

Roughly 17% over Z4, just as the slide said.
I think we should expect more than 16% average MT performance uplift is supposed to have a higher frequency residency.Roughly 17% over Z4, just as the slide said.
Also R23 was the only IPC metric AMD explicitly said was nT, the rest could be anything.
To be fair, the actual core clocks in the R23 MT are still unknown. Not to mention the fact that some reviewers measured 29,3 - 29,5 MT score for the 7900X which makes it only +12%.Roughly 17% over Z4, just as the slide said.
Omg, those residents again...I think we should expect more than 16% average MT performance uplift if the 9950X is supposed to have a higher frequency residency.
You mean because AMD is spending die area and budget on NPU instead of CPU/iGPU/... (on laptop CPUs at least)?AI is robbing us of a bunch of neat stuff and I am not happy.
AMD has completely changed internal roadmaps.
But the 7900X3D has 3D V-cache. So would a better comparison not be 7900X, but with the TDP limit set to 120W?9900X has a 120W TDP while the 7900X is a 170W TDP, the comparison should be the 7900X3D wich is also 120W TDP/162W PPT.

But what do you mean by that they are completely changing the internal roadmap? What did it look like before, and what have they changed?
Not sure I follow. In what way do you mean AMD has changed the internal roadmap? Are you saying it previously focused on e.g. client desktop CPUs and now enterprise server CPUs instead?They are focusing on enterprise stuff, and nothing related to Zen 5 (yet)
V-cache doesnt affect the CB R23 score significantly, the only downside is that the 7900X3D real TDP is probably lower than the 9900X one.But the 7900X3D has 3D V-cache. So would a better comparison not be 7900X, but with the TDP limit set to 120W?
Why would it be better to use such an average as comparison instead of just 7900X set to 120W TDP limit?Best comparison is to use the average between the 7900X and 7900X3D
What's the point of comparing them at the same TDP?Why would it be better to use such an average as comparison instead of just 7900X set to 120W TDP limit?
From what they said in that article about the 9950x gaming performance, I would not put money on that betoverall its good. Performance per watt improved.
The 9800x3d should be the best in gaming
I agree with poke don't see that scenario changing from the Zen 4 gen where 7800X3D > 7950X in gaming.From what they said in that article about the 9950x gaming performance, I would not put money on that bet
Oh, really?overall its good
