News Alleged AMD Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 Benchmarks Emerge

I'm scratching my head a bit with this one... Bigger numbers always better (hurr durr), but how does this test escales across cores? Does it like memory bandwidth? Low latency? CPU cache? Only computing/prowess? Anyone that can read between the lines a bit better for this test? Also: anything other to compare that's closer? Like a 5600(X) or an i5 11600K/12400/12600K? for a more apples to apples comparison?

In any case, good I guess? XD

Regards.

I ran the test myself and it did not peg more than 2 cores close to full usage. It only appeared to peg 2 cores like 80 percent usage and 1 core like 50% on 1 5900X. And I got an insane score and 600-1000 of FPS with an RTX 3090 Ti.

Is the RTX 3090 Ti that much more powerful than the A4000?

So yeah its not an apples to apples comparison. If this test loaded well above 6 CPU cores, I would be excited that a 6 core Zen 4 would beat a 16 core Zen 3 by 11% as imagine how much better with more cores.

But no this is very thread limited even much more so than games.

So results especially if the clocks were boosted higher on engineering sample are very disappointing for Zen 4 uplift over Zen 3. If it was at stock base 4.4GHz and the others boosted to their 1 core max frequency, results are pretty good.

But either way too early to tell.

Though I hope Zen 4 can have at least Golden Cove IPC and 5GHz or higher all core clocks. That is what I can turn to get 12 strong cores of same arch since Intel is not offering anymore than 8 strong cores, rather just adding more atom e-core clusters to their next gens sadly.

I am not sure how much Cinebench should be taken into account single core performance for Ryzen 7950X:

https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-amd_ryzen_9_7950x

It says it has a boost clock of 5.5GHz. If a Zen 5 core really needed 5.5GHz to be 8 points less than a 12900K Golden Cove core, that would not be good. Though I am not sure if it really boosted to 5.5GHz or if the pre-sample just ran at base 4.5GHz in which the Cinebench score being 1989 in contrast to 12900K 1997 would be good. I believe the 12900K boosts to 5.2GHz single core per Intel website. If Zen 4 at 4.5 can almost match it great. If it needs 5.5GHz to almost match or barely beat 5GHz boost 12700KF, not good at all.

We shall see soon.
