Terrible 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.
