It’s a rather unfortunate launch. It’s showing itself at the top of synthetic multi thread and single thread benchmarks and then failing to beat the 7000 series (even non x3d variants) in games seemingly due to thread scheduling going across ccds.
I suspect it’s a hiccup and easily fixed with a software update but unfortunate since the launch benchmarks tend to be the ones that stick around.
- Night_Thastus 2y agoInterestingly enough, there is a bug with Windows causing bursty workloads like games to perform poorly right now on Zen 5. Only problem is, it also applies equally to Zen4, so it ends up not changing the delta between them at all. And with some chips like the 9950X you have to do that nonsense of enabling the core parking profile with MS's Xbox Game Bar to get games to run half decent, which is a bit annoying. In general the 9900/9950 aren't made for gaming regardless. They're for productivity.
