Still stands.Don't believe the rumors spread by... Intel engineers simply.
Same thing happened for RDNA3, same thing happened for Zen 5. Which is why I was cautious believing them.
Also Python, PHP, Node.js interprets are super fast.Unironically great uplift in browsers, what the hell.
Turns out it really is a "bulldozer moment" somewhat.
Years of expectation, huge changes to the architecture, negative IPC slower than previous gen, only performs well under specific right circumstances (at least power is good), gives time to the competition to breath and strike back with calm.
Make me fear that Zen 6 and Zen 7 will be Piledrivers and Steamrollers.

Truly a server core that somehow found itself on client.Also Python, PHP, Node.js interprets are super fast.
On that we can agree. Both CPUs and GPUs consume embarrassing amount of power on client nowadays.I'm probably in the minority on this, but I think modern CPU power consumption is insane and AMD resetting expectations there (outside of the halo part) is greatly appreciated. With all the talk from reviewers about how crazy high power consumption has gotten, I'm a bit disappointed that this move has been almost ignored by reviewers in favor of highlighting the lack of significant performance improvement. I get it, but still a little disappointed. Like I said, I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm ok with that.
the gains are there if you look at the comparison with the 7700X-7800X (which consume more) and 7600X.
On a serious note.
Its tremendous CPU core for EVERYTHING else, except for gaming.
Read Phoronix review.It's productivity "gains" essentially match the gaming "gains" at least for HWUB they did.
It depends on the game and how CPU limited you are, in most of the cases even the top CPUs (7800X3D excluded) are not much better. In any case I said "gains" and not "trampling over".You consider ~5% to be "gains". For any practical purpose that's essentially identical.
Phoronix review shows the thing is actually very good, just not in the ways we hoped.Read Phoronix review.
AT posted surprisingly high gain on gcc subtest of SPEC, tough compared to 7700, but it's 17 %
Edit:
They have also significantly updated details about the test environment for SPEC, newest CLANG, enabling AVX512 and specifying the WSL version used. Nice
Read Phoronix review.
Zen 5% is real.
Btw on Linux it is a different story (just like with Bulldozer): https://www.phoronix.com/review/ryzen-9600x-9700x
That is exactly the point I was making here: http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=thread...dge-ryzen-9000.2607350/page-722#post-41270664Phoronix review shows the thing is actually very good, just not in the ways we hoped.
Geomean score is similar to a 13900K with half the power consumption.
As it turns out, FP gains are significantly higher than INT, something I guessed ages ago just from reading the uArch changes.
Oh, and the biggest takeaway is the most significant gains are in traditionally Intel dominated workloads.Phoronix review shows the thing is actually very good, just not in the ways we hoped.

The worst part is that we’ll be stuck with this total dud of a core for years and Zen6 will only bring iterative improvements over it. At least improvements to the uncore will be something to look forward to.
This was exactly the same case with Bulldozer.And Linux results in general just look way better than Windows, why exactly is a question for AMD software engineers and whichever intern Microsoft sends as a sacrifice.
As in the performance? :-DPhoronix review shows the thing is actually very good, just not in the ways we hoped.
