Should we expect greater things from Zen 4?

Imagine if some Zen 4 chips hit 6Ghz before Intel could.

"Wouldn't that only put the gaming performance on par with 5800X3D?" is kind of a silly question, really. The 5800X3D has lower single-threaded (and multithreaded) performance than a 5800X, yet smokes it in games. Obviously that's not a very good measure of gaming performance.

In this interview Robert Hallock also said that with Zen 3 Cinebench only went up 8-10% in IPC, but the average IPC increase over a larger number of software packages was 19-20%.

All in all, we can't conclude much from this figure.

Hmmm... My text "In this interview", which linked to a video, got the video embedded. Which is not very intuitive, but I guess it's not that bad.

Wouldn't be a shock if they did, but would be if they did so without being a nuclear reactor in terms of cooling :lol:
