AMD Zen 5 rumours

Still not setup yet, board arrived yesterday and meant to be camping all weekend. Life is too busy!

Seems ComputerBase made multiple article on the branch prediction patch. Monday's Zen 5 one:
Has now been followed by a Zen3 5800X3D article:
Don't recall any Zen 4 article so they might do a third one soon?

TLDR?
 
Well the problem with websites with dynamic charts is that on a phone you can't just embed them like TPU charts.
I found the Zen 3 results more interesting if for no other reason that 5800X3D is quite old now.

23H2 versus 23H2+Update was average frametimes +4% with some regression and +12% for CP2077PL.

Ok thanks :) its a shame they didn't do a none X3D Zen 3, the X3D one is a different beast....
 
Not sure what to make of this, I thought as long as you stayed below 6400 there were improvements to be seen.
TH stating they see better gaming results on non EXPO clocked RAM

TH Zen 5 Gaming post mortem
They are just talking about the gains of Zen 5 relative to Zen 4 expo vs stock, it makes sense that Expo gains are higher on Zen 4 because the stock memory speed is only 5200MT compared to Zen 5 which is 5600MT so that gap between the chips will be larger at stock settings than with Expo enabled.

I was just about to say ^^^^^ unless you're actually testing for a CPU bottleneck you're not going to see any improvement. Its not as if this patch will make your GPU faster, you know...? :)
I don't know much about the MW3 benchmark but similar benchmarks in other games the CPU score is still somewhat affected by the GPU and you won't get the max possible CPU results if you don't have like a 4090 - but I don't know if that is true for MW3.
It turns out that HUB's MW3 data was incorrect and there's essentially no CPU performance improvement in that game after all, so my results were accurate.

Windows 11 is just **** when it comes to underlying performance consistency (not to mention other ways) and looks like it is going to get worse with new features which you can "turn off" but still take up resources in the background... not that Windows 10 is a great OS either.
 
Well they will have 1 sale from me come the 30th, I'm going all in, Zen 5 and x870. It will be a huge upgrade for me. I'm not planning on gaming much but I have been rewatching some of the reviews while I wait and I'm not sure it is that bad. I'm ignoring the headline FPS but watching the .1% lows instead and it actually looks pretty good then.
Productivity wise I know I will be sorted, I can't wait until it arrives.
If only my ncase M2 hadn't been delayed
