In no way was Bulldozer more powerful clock for clock then the Phenom like you said it wasn't until Steamroller-Excavator and then Amd finally overtook the K10 architecture. View: https://youtu.be/psKEiWXDR28?t=546 It's been so boring on the Intel side of things i can't wait for Ice Lake...

As you can see down below Haswell was a pretty big jump for AVX performance which Cinebench uses. That's the main gain here. I also showed this a few pages ago with more tests comparing IPC, as you can tell fr om his limited testing he even got 20% improvement from Ivy-Haswell. Of course this...

Pretty sweet comparison of IPC between the CPU's like a broken record the FX bulldzoer was such a pile of crap! https://i.redd.it/9kt1t1gws4h41.png

I haven't personally seen this on older boards as the board barely even matters anymore unless its junk, my x370 board went from 3066mhz on my R7 1700 to 3466mhz on my 2700X and now the same kit of memory hits 3800mhz at 14 cas timings perfectly stable for 10 hours in memtest. Precision Boost...

Don't forget most likely being supported on B350,X370,B450,X470 as well with a simple bios update

This is only a very small part of the issue as with Zen1 and zen+ latency was only slightly better by around 5ns. Latency on Amd memory controller have always been behind Intel since 08 or so. Amd designed their older memory controller for server use and nothing else really which was for max...

It's extremely poor in latency like i have 63ns on my Zen 2 chip and with the same memory i would easily get 38ns on Intel(75% less latency). That's a MASSIVE difference their memory controller is only good for bandwidth and nothing else and a lot of applications benefit from low latency memory...

View: https://twitter.com/Underfox3/status/1226586078435565570 OMG Amd finally improved their outdated memory controller on Zen 3

Well yah but it was funnier picking the best CPU from Intel proving it can easily bottleneck a 2080Ti in older games even at 1440P 144hz. In fact even at 4K crysis and age get bottlenecked haha.

While true that Windows tries to put the ST application on the fastest cores some app's override this setting and manually always set core 0. CPU-Z is the first to come to mind with this. Lol someone on reddit said a 8700K never bottlenecks a 2080Ti i showed him like 5 games 9900K 5.0Ghz(1440P...

I think they will beat them with increases in IPC not frequency i really don't expect Zen 3 will come in with any clock speed enhancements.

I could write for pages about why Bulldozer was always going to be a terrible design, i used to debate with an employee from Amd just about this. In no way was IPC going to go up and i predicted at best it would be about on par. Was the dumbest design even leading Prescott IMO. As a side note...

To this day i have no idea why anyone wants B550 so much for sure it wouldn't stop me from buying a new rig, B550 will most likely only be PCI-E 4.0 on MAYBE just the GPU and nothing else and won't be anything less then the already amazing B450 Tomahawk. X600 sounds WAYYYYY more interesting...

Amd has never been this close to Nvidia in years and with RDNA 2.0 being even any improvement it really makes me hopeful that they might pull it off they might actually be competitive with Nvidia again. Again just for my case i won't be switching back for years to come just over my monitor but...

Googling it a 1650 Super is 6.6B transistors and a 5500XT is 6.4 so actually i guess i under estimated how good Navi really is compared to Nvidia's current design please NOTE i'm not a Amd fanboy of GPU's in fact with all the talk about drivers i wouldn't buy a Navi based 2080Ti unless it was...
