Nice write-up.

Very excited to see the real-world performance numbers of PB2. I wonder will it mean AMD beats Intel in gaming absolutely. In some tests I've seen, Intel's best chips still have a 1-2% lead.

I doubt it has a large effect on gaming, but production loads seem to benefit a fair bit potentially.

If the Cinebench is anything to go by, a 2.5-ish percent gain in ST performance would be a good addition for AMD in gaming when things are so tight. That said, I'd imagine that having the right memory would have more of an impact.
