I'm assuming this is referencing the "intentionally misleading benchmarks" piece in servethehome. It's worth reading the follow up, in which the author discovers their biggest complaint (older version doesn't have avx2 enabled by default on zen2) was not an issue because Intel manually enabled avx2.

- nolok 7y agoThey request all benchmark done with SMT off, they insist on doing their bench without the security fixes for Spectres/Meltdown applied, they use dubious TDP counting, ... AMD has its fair share of issue in their own self published benchmarks, but at least when third party publish they're not forced to cripple other companies' chips.
