Intel claims Rocket Lake has faster storage performance than AMD Zen3

RavenXXX2 · 24 Feb 2021 at 12:59

Get your wallets ready lads!
I thought Intel hated synthetic benchmarks..... real world performance gain = Zero

So they've finally joined the PCIe 4.0 club then!

pcie 5 in alder lake well maybe

Better sell the 5800X before it’s worthless!

Strange Flex, I think the very fact this is a thing suggests they probably don’t have much to brag about... this is really scraping the barrel.

Roll on Alder lake! I’m excited to see what Intel can do with that.

Im excited for Alder Lake but not excited for DDR5... gonna be hella expensive! No interest at all in Rocket lake.

If its anything like DDR4, it's gonna be a little while before we see reasonable prices for DDR5.

The one after will be most interesting i would say, still a big uplift on the roadmap and will bring better DDR5 by then too. Meteor Lake.

So suddenly when they're ahead in something benchmarks matter again!

Hotwired · 24 Feb 2021 at 16:33

Someone think of a scenario where 11% more "storage performance" in whatever interpretation is the deciding factor.

Very odd thing to broadcast as a victory.

At this point they're grasping at whatever straws they have to try and "big up" their next gen.

Wow this on is so bad it is actually from Shrout's account directly.
Got to shout loudly about something i suppose.
Be interesting so see if this is chipset or processor etc etc

I might be wrong, but looking into this, have they not installed the AMD chipset drives?

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X: Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5950X processor PL1=105W TDP, 16C32T, Motherboard: ASUS X570 ROG Rampage VIII Hero, Bios Version: 3202, Memory: 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4-3200, Storage OS Drive: 512GB Intel SSD 760p, Storage Test Drive: 1TB Gen 4 Samsung 980 Pro, Storage Driver: Microsoft Inbox, Display Resolution: 1920x1080, OS: Microsoft Windows 10 20H2 - 19042.746, Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition, Graphics Driver: 461.09

Then tested with it plugged to the chipset m2 slot, rather than processor m2 slot?
They don't state where they plugged the drive, but they had 2 installed.

Destination · 24 Feb 2021 at 16:54

ah and they used a pulled beta amd bios for their testing also, most interesting

I fear this is indeed only trolling.
The latest BIOS version for that board is 3204.

Why RTX 3090 when we all know that an AMD Ryzen works properly with AMD Radeon?!
And why 1920x1080?! :eek:

Hotwired · 24 Feb 2021 at 17:58

It's a "storage performance" test, why are you going on about the GPU and the resolution.

Everything can mess up the stability of the system.

What does tia even mean

uscool · 24 Feb 2021 at 19:19

According to Ryan Shrout’s tweets, the drive was attached to the PCIe riser, to ensure it is using CPU lanes as opposed to chipset lanes

Destination · 24 Feb 2021 at 19:24

How very odd.
By PCIe riser, does he mean an m2 slot?
As surely the main PCIe slot was holding the nvidia 3090?
They are very strange.

kitfit1 · 24 Feb 2021 at 19:24

This is using PC Mark 10 Pro at $1495 a year to use. Which of course means that average Joe won't use it to compare with any AMD system. A more meaningful bench would have been a complete run of PC Mark 10 Advanced........................................but off course this was never meant to be a meaningful run at all.
I trust Trump to be more Honest than Shrout would ever be.........................................and i think we all know just how honest Trump is.

classic intel cheating as usual

next post from Ryan: look guys Rocket lake runs cooler than zen 3!*

*with ln2...
