What is this article? It is slamming Gigabyte on its X3D boost with a test on "ONE" game and "One" lack luster rig with "One" configuration! That is not a test. That was more like a trial run with no clear result. Also how can you say that the 5% is "worse" than the specified "up to" 20%. Wording means alot to readers. This is another trash article. Is this all we get for tech news anymore? Where is the real write ups on real news about what is happening in the industry?

Poor article. 1 test is not an empirical data set to draw a conclusion from.

Don't clickbait us, we aren't idiots. - This is why we still need sites like Anandtech around...

This is a stupid test. 8GB module uses x16 dram, half the amount of banks to begin with. Please use a proper configuration for benchmarking.

that test shows gpu as bottleneck
cpu fps do see 10%+ boost
