- theevilsharpie 6y agoSkylake (and its derivatives) is only competitive if you disregard power usage. For environments where performance/watt matters (e.g., servers, laptops, etc.), Skylake is significantly behind Zen 2.
- Drew_ 6y agoSure but none of these desktop processors are used in any of these environments.
- Denvercoder9 6y agoSkylake is 4 years older than Zen 2, though.
- theevilsharpie 6y agoIt doesn't really matter if the Skylake architecture is still what Intel is offering in its contemporary products.
- fomine3 6y agoSkylake (or Intel platform) is still has advantage in laptop/tablet area because of optimization for idle power usage than Ryzen.
- blattimwind 6y agoThe 4xxxHS parts seem to be rather competitive there as well. Note that these are monolithic Zen 2 APUs, I suspect this is the same silicon that will ship as 4xxxG parts on the desktop.
