Just shows how much Intel are relying on their process technology. 12nm LP from GloFo is just an improved version of 14nm LPP, probably barely better than the 14nm process that Intel used for Skylake. If AMD had access to the 14nm++ process Intel are currently using, Zen would be reaching 5 GHz.
It's gonna be fun to see AMD compete with Intel next year using equal process technology. I'm expecting that with Zen 2, they'll bring at least 10-15% IPC over Zen and we should see 5 GHz overclocks being quite common.
I am not convinced on the leaks - Maxon cinebench is showing around a 12% uplift in Single thread performance over an 1800x. To be honest that is north of what I expected.
Higher boost clock and IPC improvements, hardly beyond the realm of possibility...
And people will still say it's no good for gamingI reckon this is where we'll end up:
Flagship still a bit south of Intel's single thread (but much closer). Whipping it mercilessly in multi-thread/pretty much everything else. 2 more cores, 4 more threads, similar price.
LOL - it is still likely to be 10-15% behind the 8700k on pure single core performance - and I would guess it will stay 10% behind unless something is actually using the 7th&8th core.And people will still say it's no good for gaming
The most interesting thing for me about the leaks, is the decent decrease in cache and memory latency.

It is going to blow the 8700k away when it comes to multicore though.
Grrr... I hate waiting. BTW your Sig is epic.10 days till solid news.
Videocardz have put the leaked results up in an article:
