AMD's "Zen 2" IPC is 29.4% higher than Zen 1 in DKERN +RSA

[WYP]

That's a huge performance leap for a single generation.

Wow. And we should (hopefully) have higher clocks too.

Staggering !

The news everyone except the Intel fan boys have been waiting for. Now all they have to do is keep the prices about where they are.

I don't even see many Intel fanboys any more.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Only fanboys I've seen in the past few years is Nvidia. Even then some of it is deserved.

Nice, anyone wanna buy a 8700k setup?

 

[WillSK]

I think there are many people who were going to upgrade but then saw the stupid Intel prices that are eagerly awaiting these (myself included)

 

[RobM]

An almost 30% uplift in performance gained from architecture alone is pretty amazeballs if they can also give above 10% speed increase with same or lower tdp then Intel really are in trouble

 

[ImprovizoR]

So Intel can just keep sweating throughout 2019 as well. Cool, I guess.

8700k

You got one?

 

[looz]

Yeah, as per my signature.

 

[ImprovizoR]

Yeah, as per my signature.

It was a joke. A reference to that moronic The Verge build from a month ago

Don't get too excited . It was 29% in specific work loads not 29% ipc improvements

People quickly forget that IPC improvements are always applications specific.
