Intel's Rocket Lake i9 surpasses AMD's Ryzen 5000 series in new benchmarks

[WYP]

Intel may have regained single-threaded performance leadership, but Ryzen still has major advantages.

meh....



best thing AMD can do is to have a futureproof socket for ZEN4.
same as with AM4. make it so that the next 3 CPU generations will run on AM5 (or whatever).


i used intel until 2017.

i knew i was milked for 3-5% more performance every generation.


they have to create something truly outstanding to make me forget that and switch back to intel.

Many friends are having issues with 'memory compatibility' on most all of their newly acquired AMD systems. It was noted with some regret by having taken a AMD jump, that Intel in retrospect has always afforded a more mature CPU architecture regardless with what RAM is being throw at it. With this I think that ultimately AMD will come around but still has a way to go.

I cannot afford to upgrade any time soon with my still unresolved WFH plight. Stimulus checks have to buy food. My kitchen table doubles as my new desk. Now HR communicated that all full-time WFH people will now be converted to a "Casual Employee" status. More tough times ahead.

Ah that's rough to hear dude, keep hanging in there, stay strong, even though it might seem hard to do. You'll get through this and be an even stronger individual on the other side, once this passes.

I'm looking forward to seeing comprehensive reviews of Rocket Lake, but honestly, the main thing that matters is market availability. In the current market, I doubt that Intel will feel a need to undercut AMD, although I do hope for consumers' sake that Rocket Lake will have good availability and a decent enough price to take a chunk off AMD, and so perhaps allow those who want an AMD CPU to get one.
