I have one constantly pushing 5.1Ghz (disabled speedstep etc. been stable for months). I bought it because there was no comparable AMD cpu and as far as I know AMD is still behind. Why do you think it is not a proper answer?
- clarry 7y agoI think by AMD's new lineup they're referring to Ryzen 3000 series, which isn't out yet. If the rumors are true, the top models come with 12 to 16 cores, higher IPC and higher clocks than the current Zens, pushing 5GHz boost. A current 9900K might be some 20%-30% faster than a current Zen, but it will no longer be so when with the new lineup. Meanwhile mitigations are eating up Intel's performance advantage..
- kitchenkarma 7y agoI saw some leaked benchmarks today and it doesn't look great. I really hope AMD will kick the Intel (I even have Ryzen 1800x too and will buy the new 16 core one), but I need fastest possible single core performance and by the look of it at best it will be the same. But AMD has other problems like huge DPC latency, which makes it difficult to use for real time computations. If Ryzen happens to have the same single core speed as 5Ghz 9900k and pack 16 cores capable of delivering it each, I'll swap my Intel in no time.
