- crote 3y agoYou don't buy a 96-core CPU to run singlethread workloads.
- zamalek 3y agoAnd the GP argument is getting very _very_ tired, the metric is becoming as relevant as dhrystone - it represents an increasingly uncommon workload. Especially in a community such as this, where people might care about things such as compilation performance.
- lanza 3y agoGP? Do you mean Geekbench? If so it literally includes clang performance as one of its benchmarks that it runs. And it scales pretty consistently with the overall score.
- imposterr 3y agoGP refers to "grand parent", in the sense of the grand parent comment. Basically 2 comments up the chain.
- Uehreka 3y agoGeekbench would be OP (the Original Post). GP stands for… Grandparent Post? (No one actually knows) Anyway they’re referring to the top comment that acted like a high multithreaded score doesn’t matter.
- bravetraveler 3y agoYou don't buy a new generation for the same IPC, either. It's a worthwhile distinction

- jiggawatts 3y agoTerrible journalism, comparing stock performance to special cooling setups. For example, the only Intel comparison is against the 56-core Xeon W9-3495X, but with liquid nitrogen cooling! Nobody, and I mean nobody runs that kind of rig for actual workloads, it's done only as a hobby for hitting bigger benchmark numbers... for a minute or two. The quoted multi-thread performance for the Intel CPU is 72.8K, while the real number is more like 40K: https://browser.geekbench.com/search?k=v5_cpu&q=W9-3495X https://browser.geekbench.com/search?k=v5_cpu&q=W9-3495X The AMD chip isn't 12% faster, it's more like twice as fast as the Intel equivalent.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoIt also compares against a stock Core i9 1300k.
- jiggawatts 3y agoWhich is a completely different “class” of processor. The equivalent of the Threadripper is a workstation (“W”-series) Xeon.
