AMD Zen looks promising!

[MoneyFace =p]

To give us a sense of Summit Ridge's performance, AMD pitted it against a Core i7-6900K, Intel's top-of-the-line 8-core chip (which currently sells for around $1,100), using the Blender rendering benchmark. With both chips clocked at 3Ghz, the Summit Ridge machine managed to finish rendering a scene around half-a-second faster than Intel's processor. AMD had to downclock its competitor from 3.2GHz to make the fight fair, but the benchmark as still a notable win.

Why can't they just release them earlier before Christmas?

We knows what happen when a company posted their own benchmarks, vs their competitors especially?


Rmb how a Polaris $500 cards wins a $700 competitor card during Raja presentation?



I say please take a mountain of salt.

*cynical self takes over*

i wont be surprised if this turns out to be exactly like the polaris launch

overhyped, underdelivered

No HBM APU or Iris ULV/ULT in SOC package no tok!

How did the bulldozer derivatives do in Blender compared to Intel?

tan gu gu for AMD Zen.

 

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

hopefully those benchmark from known youtube or webage reviews on the actual benchmark be really that promising.

Jin dua liap sia... Carrie Wong also can't fight. No wonder someone loves her deep deep...

AMD had to downclock its competitor from 3.2GHz to make the fight fair, but the benchmark as still a notable win. We also saw Summit Ridge, together with AMD's R9 Fury X, playing Deux Ex: Mankind Divided in 4K with smooth frame rates (of course, we weren't told the exact FPS figure).

If AMD wanted to win fair and square, why bother downclocking the i7-6900K rather than fight it at stock speeds or even better, overclocked speeds?

Which means to say that Intel still wins coz AMD can compete against it at lower clock speeds, but AMD chips cant even be boosted to that high speeds to fight with Intel at Intel's stock speeds?

Marketing in action again. AMD's trash talk starting to become a trend.

Half a second faster. I was totally WAH and WWEEEEEEEEEEE.

HALF a second. HALF.

At least it is a testament of proven IPC improvement by comparing them at same clock speeds.

At least now we won't be expecting a 3.4 GHz AMD quad core CPU on par with 2.66 GHz Intel quad core CPU we have seen between AMD Phenom II X4 965BE on par against an Intel Core i5-750...

Yeah haha.

0.5sec and 1.0sec is half a second difference.

9999.5sec and 10000sec is half a second difference.

0.0sec and 0.5sec is also half a second difference, if AMD didn't manage to get Summit Ridge to run the benchmark at all.

At least it isn't slower than Broadwell-E and that's when more people will lament them being behkan..

"why isnt zen ipc on par with kaby lake?"

I rather they be honest and compare their "on par" with a i7-4790k, rather than the i7-6900K. Coz if they are literally on par with i7-4790k in terms of performance, than it would do the company's reputation some good compared to competing against the i7-6900K, which to the buyer may seem pretty impressive at first.

It's like saying an Nvidia GT610M is "on par" with Nvidia GTX 1080. But the disclaimer reads: both cards are downclocked to 1MHz.
