this is really underwhelming.
this is really underwhelming.
How is 25% faster in single-core with little to no optimizations on an ES chip underwhelming? That's literally the opposite of underwhelming, if the rumor is true. I don't really know any games using 32threads.. I'd rather have faster IPC and clocks than extra cores that aren't used. That fat chunk of L3 Cache is hot as **** too
Also remember that this is with, afaik, JEDEC DDR5 which is slow with insanely high timings. We haven't seen any DDR5 released yet that's even running XMP.
How do you know what clock speed is pushed hard on an architecture that is brand new on a node that hasn't been used on desktop yet?
Again, this is a sample that was used with extremely slow DDR5 as there is ZERO on the market beyond JEDEC speeds. JEDEC is always slow .. hell, JEDEC just moved to 3200Mhz on DDR4 not very long ago.
The performance considering the tons of limitations and lack of optimizations is very impressive. It will only go up from there, especially, I suspect, when we have memory that isn't running slow as piss. We'll see some XMP kits once the platform releases.
There's no real world use data of Zen3 3D getting 15% improvement yet. It's rumored.
We can assume that with pcie5, ddr5, new node, new bigger socket that ADL will beat Zen3 easily.
I think amd can close the breach somewhat with its stacked L3 but if its still on am4 I doubt it. ADL will win by 10% ST...
But who knows what other things amd will do with zen3+ maybe they'll put it on 6nm for some higher clocks.
I'm assuming Alder Lake will not work on Z590 boards.
Of course not. It's a completely new platform with PCIE5.0, DDR5 Memory, and a larger socket (LGA1700).
As for swallowing costs of a new platform... So what? It's cutting edge technology with the fastest memory on the market and I'd hope the fastest performing platform as well.
AMD still has issues with USB and AGESA on their "matured" AM4 platform.. so..??
I guarantee the Zen3 with 3D Cache is going to get absolutely ****ing stomped by AlderLake after a couple updates and optimizations.
You're assuming the best case scenario for AMD, while also assuming the worst for Intel. I'm not going to argue with you man.
DDR5 will be expensive but high end DDR4 is absurdly priced as well .. so what's the difference. Again, you want cutting edge technology, then you gotta pay for it. If you don't, then stick to DDR4 and your old platform.
I want something more than 25% for a fancy DDR5 + new ground up architecture + PCIE5.0.I don't care if it's AMD or Intel.
let's see how it goes.
OK see you in 10 years.
