That's a whole Pentium1 performance boost!

The whole 100mhz increase, amazing.
4ghz Pentium tho 😀
BLEH!
With a price bump to boot I bet 😉

Yawn.

I don't get the point of that list. All of the 9th series CPUs listed on there aren't exactly new. The 9400, 9600K, 9700K, and 9900K already exist. So is this just about mid-range to low-end refreshes?

You have to remember they are last years stock that they could not sell due to over the top prices that have been repackaged. Just the same process the supermarket use when they can not sell products that go past the sell by date, dry goods/ tin products etc. go back to producer / manufacturer get re-dated and where necessary repackaged. Other wise they get dumped in land fill. Nvidia is very good at that one 😀

Yikes, Intel is on panic mode.
Zen 2 is coming Intel, prepare your butthole

even a 10% IPC gain means AMD is basically the same as Intel. Ryzen 3000 series is using TSMC's 7nm which should hit much higher clocks then GLoF 14nm.
Leaks show 4.5GHZ mainstream chips, with the power savings of 7nm I bet Ryzen 3000 is going to be *faster* than Intel at stock clocks. mark my words.
Completely agree on the fact that over a certain amount of threads the gaming performance increase is minimal/zero BUT
amd and intel are much much closer in IPC than you think, the differences we see are because of clocks. here's Hilbert great IPC test:

People here asking for better ST performance dont understand, that 5.5ghz is about max where we have room to go. In next 5-7 years. St performance was an old way of doing things. Parallel processing/computing is a way forward. Right now ST prorgramming rules, because 4Cores was a norm just 2 years ago. Developers are slowly but steadily adjusting to more core count CPUs. Because of the hard 5.5ghz fall ahead of us. Even at 3nm manufacturing process. Only way to get more performance is to add cores and programs that are built to use multiple threads at same time. ST performance cheering is like cheering for the use of coal in the age of rocketfuel.
