AMD's Zen4:

"The brand new Zen 4 architecture is rumored to deliver up to 25% IPC gain over Zen 3 and hit clock speeds of around 5 GHz."

https://wccftech.com/amd-am5-next-g...ort-lga-1718-socket-dual-channel-ddr5-memory/
First AMD did Zen, which pretty much chased until Sandy Bridge. At which point it is logical to think "Nice catch up, although it's an almost 10yo CPU"
Then Zen+, "Ok so they are running out of low-hanging fruits soon and improvements will taper off soon."
Then Zen2, "So it roughly matches, losing in single-threaded. This is probably the limit."
Zen3, "Wat"
Zen4 (announced IPC), "Wat"

So the illusion that we are at the limit of CPU innovation just got smashed. Twice.

i keep hearing amd faster, but actually only slightly right?
The single thread improvement of 5000 series over 3000 is so gay that it makes you understand why the west calls it "progressive"

Intel won't die one.
Commercial server hardware and majority of bulk purchase office PC still on Intel.
Many companies still wont move to AMD at least for this couple of years

processor tech has hit a plateau about 7 years back. they still release new ones every year for marketing and sales reasons.

until another ufo crash lands in roswell, what you see now is what you get.

the leap in technology has come and gone already.
