Already faster ? Even before the micro-code patch ??why is no one commenting how ZEN 5 is now king of single thread performance for first time over intel?
actually ~20% faster ST than raptor lake https://browser.geekbench.com/search?q=9950X
Because Zen 3 also took the ST crown for Intel for a while, and because people are also waiting on ARL for a generational comparison?why is no one commenting how ZEN 5 is now king of single thread performance for first time over intel?

The microcode patch doesn't impact longer ST tests much. It's been released for a couple days IIRC.Already faster ? Even before the micro-code patch ??
Perhaps because Apple M4 is faster, and hence the absolute king of ST.why is no one commenting how ZEN 5 is now king of single thread performance for first time over intel?
What first Time? ZEN3 was 17% ahead of Intel in Benches where ZEN5 now is 3% ahead.why is no one commenting how ZEN 5 is now king of single thread performance for first time over intel?

How so? Skylake era was ~10% a year wasn't it?
It's good to keep in mind, that for benchmarks able to use 2 CCDs the GMI memory bottleneck will be lifted, so where previously GMI wall could have been hit, it now might be the RAM bandwidth wall, that could be improved with faster RAM diesIf theory holds, Phoronix's benchmarks, at least the ones that have a notable degree of memory throughput, should start to hit limits due to the RAM configuration with twice as many cores. It would be interesting to see the memory access profile of the benchmark processes and find the ones that are hitting that wall.
That might be the problem with Excel itself rather than the PC it's running onI have a >2700 Geekbench PC and still feel the browser and Excel slow. I'll happily take any ST boost I can pay for - unless it's a Mac.
For gaming?
Not really - maybe 10% from 6700k to 11900k...
Well there is this, but very few if any i know are running stock EXPO/XMP 6000/2000.. Ill ask around if anyone got

AMD didn't make the 9950X to excel at Geekbench. I think AMD knows pretty well that it will be hard to get existing AM5 users to upgrade. They are most likely hoping for AM4 stragglers with 5900X/5950X to make the jump to Zen 5. And now add to that thousands of Intel users who will be wary of Core series CPUs after the Raptor Lake fiasco.That's Intel 14nm malaise tick era skipitude.

It's not even hitting the boost clock of 5.7 if you look at the .gb5, it's not stock behavior.ASUS System Product Name - Geekbench

I'll say it again. Software needs to be recompiled/optimized for Zen 5. Without it, it's just slightly better Zen 4 with untapped potential.
