I m saying that SPEC Povray score difference between Zen 4 and RPL is about the same as Computerbase.

So you ll have to assume that AVX2 bring no perfs enhancement in Povray for RPL, otherwise it wouldnt be faster in SPEC (wrt to Zen 4) by the same amount than when using AVX2, that s basically what you re saying.

Or that Geekerwan numbers are flawed eventually, wich i already pointed as being a possibility.

You can draw absolutely no conclusions about a test largely comparing scalar floating-point performance (because of having no vector intrinsics) based on performance involving vector intrinsics. Even in the "AVX2-less" builds that reviewers have used, it's still using AVX.

SPEC does not use AVX (except what the compiler can emit itself.) You cannot draw the kinds of comparisons you're talking about. I don't find Geekerwan's result suspicious, just meaningless.

Zen 5 CPU-Z single core benchmark is supposedly 910. Will share source soon.


EDIT: Sorry,, I put the twitter link below, had to get to a desktop. I wanted to link the original baidu post, but have had issues.

That is for the engineering sample of Zen 5. For reference I get around 740-750 on my stock 7950X, so about 21% higher. Not bad.

Oh and if this was already posted, apologies. Sometimes this thread moves quite quickly and it can be hard to keep up.
100% sure this screenshot is fake. Looks like they just messed around with the CPU ID on a Zen 4 part.

So now you re telling me that when the 7950X is deprived of AVX it lose more perf than RPL deprived of AVX, knowing that the 7950X is surely faster when both CPUs are limited to AVX, that s quite a stretched assumption given that you have no numbers to validate this point, just assumptions.

I don't find Geekerwan's result suspicious, just meaningless.

Whatever is meaningless is forcibly suspicious.

Crap! Anandtech's in on it! The conspiracy goes deeper than we thought!

Except there are tests showing as such, namely tests within SPECfp. You have provided zero evidence to the contrary, so. . .

Whatever is meaningless is forcibly suspicious.

What? I can make all kinds of meaningless statements that are absolutely true. Something being meaningless does not force suspicion.

Spec was routinely used with optimised code using AVX on official submissions, that it is cheatinng or not, and geekerwan s numbers are suspicipous in this respect when
it come to Povray.


You don't know what you're looking at.

All those flags can control is whether the compiler attempts to autovectorize to AVX2. GCC contains flags to do something similar. So does AMD's AOCC. It means absolutely nothing about the Povray AVX2 fastpath. Zilch.

Please stop. You clearly have never touched SPEC yourself and don't know how it works.

Curious question: if someone compiles POVRAY with that option turned on and uses it on Intel CPU but runs the binary compiled with that option omitted on the Ryzen, will the Ryzen suffer in the performance comparison?

Nobody but Intel compiles with ICC. Anandtech doesn't. Geekerwan doesn't. Running it on Ryzen would likely be a little slower but not significantly - ICC generates decent code for AMD CPUs these days (but is itself increasingly irrelevant because gcc and clang have gotten really good.)
