How much will that gap shrink when they fix the windows 11 bugs on the dual ccx chips?

Windows 11 stuttering issues confirmed by AMD, but a fix is far off

Windows 11 2H22 was supposed to fix that but ...

But you can always disable SMT :

Look out, AMD – Microsoft is tanking your CPU performance again with Windows 11

Typically, the 3950x, 5950x, and 7950x win a lot of gaming benchmarks over their lower core counterparts, not because of the core counts, but because they're the highest-clocked SKU sold within the lineup.

Agreed it's silly to buy a 16C/32T for gaming only, but to say it's not a gaming CPU isn't really accurate.

Eh?
The stutter fix was a TPM issue that was exclusive to a specific AGESA update...


This is a scheduling issue from the 7000 series CPU's being treated like they're intel CPUs - either MS fixes it, or AMD fixes it with a chipset driver

The exact reason why I stay on Win10
It isn't flawless, but way better than bug11
Win11 is good overall, but it is ironic that what it's meant to be best at (CPU scheduling) it fails the most often at

There's nothing wrong with Win 10's scheduler unless you're on Alder Lake. Like I always say, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

Windows being broken (surprise!) doesn't really make the 7950x 'not a gaming CPU'. Does it invalidate Intel's claim? Maybe. We'll know for sure in a few hours when the 13900k review is posted.

My guess is that overall the 13900k will be the top dog until the 7000 series X3D is released. The 5800X3D has Raptor Lake beat already in a two or three games as posted by Intel (WoW being one of them).

So why throw out that random 40% number, what were you trying to achieve there? For all, or most, MT workloads right? Or will you shift to another excuse/claim when the reviews are published :rolleyes:

There you go again, need I remind you "TDP" numbers are generally meaningless or do you think if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes the truth :wtf:

Yes, all or most MT workloads (cbr23, blender , corona etc.). TDP numbers are not meaningless. If you put a PL2 on the bios, the mobo respects it. If mobo manafacturers do stupid stuff like power unlocking it on stock, that's their own problem.

So pretty much exactly in line with my postulations not long ago (I rounded it to 10% obviously) and some early Youtube reviews seem to confirm it. Despite having an all-new line of cpus out on a cutting edge node, AMD is already back to playing catch-up and this time, I'm not sure the x3d models will be up to the task... :rolleyes:

Meteor lake will be even bigger.. arrow lake or lunar lake will double golden cove ipc
Meteor Lake launch will most likely be the end of (Ry)zen's competitiveness...

The intel part will hardly OC, and the AMD part has headroom once you get good cooling. I have no doubt that the AMD part will offer better performance once OC'd.

11% probably in specific games I'd say not every one but time will tell I guess.
I'm curious about the content creation aspect of the CPU since these CPUs are for those workloads. Gaming is a bonus to be fair. Maybe I will be changing my TRs at some point and I would like to know what this one can do against my TRx and newest 7950x AMD and maybe then I will make a decision.

remember that the 12 and 16 core models are being hurt right now due to scheduling bugs, so the 7700x is the fastest of them all for gaming


Their performance will go up - zero denying that it's a rocky launch. How the hell they cant test this stuff with microsoft and get it sorted in advance is beyond me, surely they could at least just hire a known CPU reviewer and test this stuff a few months before launch and send microsoft the problems, or make a chipset driver in that time

Isn't competition great?
Yes.
All we need are prices to come down from the Stratosphere.
Yes.
My next upgrade will be "Zen 5" 8 cores CPU with V-Cache, something like "9800X3D", tuned "Zen 4" CPU. So they have only 2 years to do something with prices. ;)

Intel does have nice chips at the low end but I still prefer my 5600G. That chip is now as low as $149 Canadian.
We also have one computer with 5600G. I prefer 5800X3D, because it is perf I need and sufficient for what I do with this computer and with normal power consumption.

There is no doubt the 5800X3D is way better than the 5600G but is not a budget part.
