Benchmarks for AMD's Zen ES CPUs have been leaked

[WYP]

Performance data from AMD's Zen Engineering samples have been leaked online, showcasing some huge performance gains over their previous architectures.



Read more on these leaked AMD Zen performance numbers.

Any mention of whether that's the 8 core or quad?

The derpy clock speeds will not help. I'm surprised AMD are releasing them with such low clocks tbh. I hope they clock well.

Also it's probably not the best thing to bench a DX12 game that uses mostly GPU really. They'd have been better using a bench for a CPU.

Well the clocks are going to be low in order to keep the tdp in check, then reviewers are going to get their samples -probably cherrypicked- and they are going to hit the 5GHz overclock and everyone's gonna be "OMG GUYS BUY IT FREE PERFORMANCE" same thing that happened with the G3258 -almost because the AMD chips are going to be a bit more expensive-

Looking good for an engineering sample so far, should have pretty good performance once the consumer stuff hits with better clocks, let's hope AMD knock one out of the park with the pricing.

looking good to deliver haswell performance I think

per clock performance seems good to me.
A low tdp with decent performance at low clocks i cant see anything to grumble about. Will be nice to get the bitter taste of bulldozer out of peoples mouths, it only took a couple generations of cpu's for people to forget about how bad the pentium 4 was so its all good imo.

Taking a look at the source (wccftech) they list two different models, one is referred to as 1D and the other as 2D, both are listed as Physical cores 8/Logical cores 16. Also these are Engineering samples so come release they may be clocked a little higher, though of course they could choose to stick with 2.8/3.2 if they can't reliably clock them higher.

When compared to Intel GPUs on the same benchmark and GPU configuration

Intel GPUs

Did you mean Intel CPUs?

ES are always at completely lame speeds. It's so when it comes time for the actual CPUs the ES are so slow they're not worth having.

I've got an 8 core Ivy ES that I bought ages and ages ago for £100. It's only clocked to 2ghz on all 8 cores, and whilst it's still perfectly adequate for gaming and so on yeah, it's lame compared to one running at 4ghz.

I would be surprised if they don't clock quite high. Even AMD's existing 8 cores clock really well
