now that Intel has refreshed its Architectures Optimization Reference Manual, it's clear the company has taken a huge step forward with the Goldmont Plus microarchitecture

Nice digging, Paul. Thanks for the update.

Given that Goldmont was already appearing in entry-level laptops, I wish we could see some benchmarks to know how they compare with Intel's big cores on games and other apps interesting readers of this site.

In mobile land no one gives a fluck duck about intel chips. It only was a tiny bit relevant when intel had to pretty much give them for free to some chinese OEM's in order to artifially get marketshare, they failed miserably, and the chips for free program was axed.

Sin Zen scale so down so well in efficiency when you relax the frequencies, the major threat for cheap laptops/tablets to the ARM+win10 combo is the Ryzen 2c/4t 128-256 Vega SP APU's with <10w TDP.

Yes, they did quite poorly in the cell phone market, but these aren't cell phone SoCs. Intel sells lots of these into entry-level laptops and Chromebooks.

This is 1.5 generations newer than the cores they used in mobile. Aren't you at least curious to see how they compare to Intel & AMD desktop cores?

We can speculate all we want, but data is king. I say let's have some benchmarks!
