Ok so If that zen chip is running 5ghz it’s a success is it even if the 9900k is running 4.7ghz?
Hmmmm
Explain...
Eem, it'd be evidence that they could hit those clocks.
I agree though that'd be a disappointment from an IPC point of view, since it's the IPC that we so desparately want to see AMD making gains on.
However, a Zen+ 8c CPU at 5.0GHz would have scored higher than 2057, so we know that it cannot have been clocked that high anyway unless there was IPC regression (read incredibly unlikely/impossibility). Someone said their 4.3GHz 2700X scored 1900 in CB. We have the 9900K having a 3% IPC advantage over Zen+, so that would put it at 1957 @ 4.3GHz, so 2040 looks about right for ~4.5-4.6GHz for the 9900K.
If Zen2 has the 9-13% rumoured IPC increase over Zen+, it'd be at ~2071-2147 at 4.3GHz.
To me, it looks like the demo was of an 8c Ryzen @4.2-4.3GHz.
