AMD Zen 3 (5000 Series), rumored 17% IPC gain.

Well, no other reason to buy Intel now.

The only Intel chips that have peaked my interest recently are the 8400 not a bad chip for £140 at the time, the... 106057G? 4 core U part with HT. I have a XPS 13 with one but I got somewhat burned. That chip was briefly relevant but I wish I had waited and bought a 4700U system.

The other is a Xeon W3150X just for some perverse overclocking.

If money were no object I'd jump on the W-3175X paired with the Dominus Extreme board, just simply because it's so retarded it's hilarious and beautiful. And as an art piece I've seen some truly stunning builds and mod projects with it.

In the real world, however...lol no

I think what they are referring to is future proofing if, like me, you tend to kept your CPU's for over 5 years. In this case the 5900x seems to tick all the boxes for content creation etc but also games are only likely to utilise more cores over the coming years

That's exactly it. And it feels good to be on the cutting edge of awesome, if only for five minutes.

I think AMD will be the same sort of level's ahead of Intel in games as Intel are ahead of AMD now, about 10% overall at 1080P with a 3080.

That is very significant, AMD's architecture is very different to Intel's, its tuned for power efficiency and built like Lego for yields, that's good for data centre, AMD can make higher core count CPU's more cheaply than Intel, the downside is the chiplet design introduced intercore latency which hurts them at low resolution gaming, despite having 13% higher IPC with Zen 2 already, they are still fast gaming chips, just not quite as fast as Intel.

Zen 3 will gain another 19% IPC and slightly higher clocks, that will put AMD ahead of Intel in everything, including low res gaming, but in productivity where Zen 2 are already stronger Zen 3 will take the pee.

Intel will need to increase their low res gaming performance by 20% just to put them a at a similar level in low res gaming that they are now at vs Zen 2, which isn't enough because it was never enough vs Zen 2.

At this point Intel need a miracle.

The hype train ramping up here as well, you go Humbug.:p

I’m feeling a new rhetoric in the air. AVX workloads will soon become useless.

What about AVX-512!
Won't Intel fans will keep on banging the AVX drum whilst AVX-512 remains Intel only?
I don't follow that world but I still hear the drum being banged.
Doubt it's of much relevance to most consumers but it gives them something to use in PR benchmarks.

Yeah, it seems to me pretty simple, 1 CPU / GPU per customer and a CAPTCHA at checkout, it seems to me if you REALLY want to stop bots speculative buying its that simple, Nvidia....

I mean, OCUK seem to have a real problem controlling/updating catagories and filters on their store page so what is the hope that they can implement this in 2 weeks? :P
