hype train must have run off the tracks...
AMD's first stab at competing with Intel comes close bit slower in some tests and suddenly that's "Balls Ass Slow" ? wtf?
compared to what? I get 4GHZ xfr is likely on in those tests which is why the 3 come back the same per core...but how is an AMD chip at 4GHZ beating a 6900k at 3.7GHZ bad?
I don't get where this argument is going at all. The physics test apparently favors the hell out of clock speed...and apparently has the lower/cheaper 6800k give more performance per core at 3.6 than the 6900k does at 3.7? Perhaps we're seeing a test that can only max quads and can deal with hex's but doesn't properly allocate octa's.
I don't know about the validity of the bench, but the AMD results there are NOT "Balls Ass Slow" not by any means, not by overall performance, not by price per performance, not by multi-threaded performance. 3dmark cpu tests are notorious core clock whores. They matter not a bit in a real worth comparison and this is a case where synthetics would actually tell more. But even if they did matter, I'd take these results from AMD's necromancy event. Especially now that a cpu core on AMD pretty much matches one on the Intel side. The fact that you can even compare per core performance between the 2 is a massive leap forward for AMD.
