AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

Just release the damn chips already! I dont want to wait any longer :(
I have a pc to build and im pretty much just waiting on the 3600x to get released....

I guess it is quite expensive to release them now and this is why we have to wait several months till mid 2019.

The thing is that you can buy everything now - and buy your precious 3600X when it is released, whenever it is.
Then sell your CPU or CPU and motherboard and move to X570/B550.
 
Can't see any benchmarks nor actual specs , My point still stands

Please stop posting misleading "news" story titles. That headline does not follow from a single test result being 29% faster.

lol, are you laughing or what? :o

The news coming from Expreview mentions that AMD performed DKERN + RSA tests for integer and floating point units and that resulted into a score of 4.53, that was 3.5 for the first-generation Zen and that indeed is a 29.4 percent IPC. Of course, these are number from the manufacturer themselves and have to be observed with caution as other benchmarks have not been mentioned. So I have to add though, 29% "in certain workloads". Still, impressive.

Point to the benchmark/Test methodology

Even the quote states to be taken with caution !

Are you seriously suggesting that Zen 2 will have an average IPC increase over Zen 1 of 29%? Because that's what the headline implies.
 
So you agree the headline is misleading?

No I haven't seen a law which states that the headline should mean average values and not minimum or maximum...

Average is very difficult to obtain because you need to take all the applications available. Not 5 and 5 games. That is not average.
 
Hilbert is that you??? Really that title is utter ********. The 29% IPC increase is only in FPU operations in a specific scientific workload. To claim "it's a 29% IPC increase" is disingenuous at best and an outright lie at worst.

The improvement that's been quoted by AMD literally today was ~13% average IPC improvement over Zen+ (which is actually higher than expected for average IPC uplift).

Also companies obviously use the best numbers they can get away with so if AMD's figure is ~13% it's probably more realistically ~10%.

Totally agree. I've been working on 10% and 4.8GHz boost for them as the likely targets. Anything more is gravy :)
