Alleged 6-Core Ryzen 7000-Series Tested in Basemark's GPU Rendering Tests

I agree atom cores are crap and not power efficient except they seem only die space efficient which is still not a good excuse to use them. Just make a bigger socket and PCB for CPU. Would be even easier to cool as wider area to dissipate heat. Though the P cores are great performance and they could put more easily on a bigger die space.

A bigger die also means that they would be more expensive to make, and more P-core would make the core serie even more power Hungry. There's a good reason as to why AMD choose to bother with chiplet interconnect over making a bigger CPU die.

"...And I know 12900K is an 8 real core CPU..."
Somebody dropped you on your head while you was a baby??

ermm welcome to the forums I guess but man, what a bad first impression you make.

the 12900k IS an 8 core processor in the more common use of it.

8 performances cores, with hyperthreading
and 8 efficiency cores.

don't care about your impressions, i'm an adult.
8+8 = 16
P is same standard cores who can run Windows and other heavy software without a lag like Atom/E does

If you are an adult then maybe act like one and stop being so aggressive, its just strange behavior.

16 threads is not 16 cores, 8 cores with hyperthreading creates 16 threads but its still an 8 core part.
Its really weird how you yourself dismiss the e-cores when that really is your only defense in calling it a 16 core part even though that would be on shaky foundation.

now stop being so silly.

"Keep in mind that AMD is still working on its AM5 platform and it's still early days. We understand that AMD has recently fixed a few platform bugs that would've been showstoppers if AMD had launched the AM5 platform with them still present."

Fine wine that before it's released to public please.

If you don't watch the attitude, you'll be banned.
Edit: And he's gone. Nothing to see here folks.


This is just the real cores vs SMT argument from years ago, E-cores are distinctly different and you cant simply add them together.

Some people have forgotten 10 years of Intel releasing "new" CPUs every couple of years with a 1-4% performance improvements, and are salty now that AMD is giving them 11% in one dodgy benchmark.

I still swear by my 2500K, 3570K and 4770K systems

They've aged so well because all the way back then they still achieved 5GHz+ clock speeds, and with high speed RAM they can still handle modern games just damn fine (60+, but definitely not great for high refresh displays)

We got stagnant for so long with both CPU and GPU on the AMD/ATI side that we got almost no changes each year (On the intel/NV sides), and now we've had a few with massive generational leaps it gets fun to see some people think 10% is crap, while the older people think its fantastic

Oh, they were good CPU's. I had a 4770K system too. I upgraded from it to a Ryzen 5950x, I have to say the difference was startling. But now my daughter uses my old 4770K system, and she is more than happy with it.
