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

[N19h7m4r3]

So why stop at 720p then? Why not do 800x600 or 320x240?

I only care about how well I can run Dwarf Fortress at 320x240 personally.

People harping about about how valid 480/720 testing are being silly. They said the same when Ryzen 1 launched, and now on average those CPUs are better than their intel counterparts of the time.

And that’s the rub of the green isn’t it. Why don’t we use SuperPi as a CPU benchmark these days?

I still use Super Pi

I want to buy 3700x, I am naughty boy

Yes, you still use it, but it fell out of favour of reviewers as it was found to be a not very good representation of overall CPU performance.

You can’t take game performance at 720p in old games as indication of future performance because the game engines will have changed to reflect the fact there will be more cores and more AMD chips in the market so future games will be more optimised for those systems. As mentioned a few times before the original gen Zen has aged better than the Intel competitors of the time.

And you'll be sorry!

I understand that the lower the resolution, the more it separates the difference in architecture, but, I still think, as has been said before, it opens up vastly more variance between CPUs in test methodology and run to run. Maybe with enough runs you could start to have more statistical confidence, but that requires you to probably know more about the test methodilogy than you're ever likely to have a reviewer be open and honest about

shame about the dunia engine farcry 5, but on the whole, it's looking pretty good.

Wasn't the rise of the tomb raider tested with direct x 11 instead of dx 12. Just relax guys we don't know the all core speed for all we know it was running at 3.9 or 4 ghz. That's still a big difference with the 9900k at 4.7 a 4.8 ghz

 

[Troezar]

As a prospective buyer I'm only interested in forward looking performance at realistic resolutions.

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Well I'm sold!

Edit: Wendell approved as well!

I'd quite like to see a 100x100 test personally.

Then we'll see the real power of the CPU.

I bet we will hear a lot about this 720p resolution thingy from Intel fanboys after real life tests hit the internet

When the 3900x spanks everything at 1440 and 4k, the Intel fan boys will say 720p is the norm for gamers

Oh and AIDA64 for "Real World Tests"

It's hilarious how when Intel won in Cinebench (An actual real world test, it's Maxcom Cinema 4D, same thing as Blender) they pressured everyone to use it, now that they are losing in Cinebench they want reviewers to stop using it and instead use thing's like SYSmark which are entirely synthetic and not at all representative of real world performance, but it's the label Intel give it.

Not only that, but it tests the entire system, and not just the CPU. Not the kind of thing you want to demonstrate CPU performance, but they swear by it. AMD even called them out on it lol.

I have my own theory on the matter. I think 1080p on the 22-23-24" monitors and larger actually beats the people off the PC environment.
Because of the large pixels, people prefer their smartphones. At least, they have microscopic nano pixels which don't disturb their eyesight and aren't ugly to be looked at.

If only smartphone addiction wasn't a thing lol.

I quite like the saying; "It's rather nice that we have iOS and Android as a dumping ground for the **** that would otherwise make its way to PC and console."

I have heard that the new version of the ryzen 3 2200g is nothing special its just a refresh ? if thats true I will buy a 2200g or i3

2200G
3200G

Sad to see people cant comprehend why tests ware done on 720p.... But I must Admit they could have added 1440p also. The 720p is showing Raw power thats it.

We all know why it was done.

unless you work at the bbc iplayer department then its bang up to date.

ITV Hub is also as bad.

I'd quite like to see how many frames it can push, playing Nokia's version of Snake at native game resolution.

Nah 1x1 with 1 pixel on and off 10000000fps will only do for me for a true cpu result

Would the game speed be linked to the FPS? :O

Was running test b4 i get 3900x so here

Back in the day Intel laughed all over AMD in SuperPi. Of course we were all buying A64s at the time.

SuperPi Mod is 2006 vintage.

Such a usefull way to test modern CPU...
