AMD Myrtle engineering sample on Geekbench

This is Bristol Ridge @ 4GHz.

How can you tell? I am not that familiar with Geekbench, Bristol Ridge on Geekbench is showing up as AMD FX-9800P RADEON R7, 12 COMPUTE CORES 4C+8G @ 1.85 GHz
1 processor, 4 cores I don't think that it would show as 2 core 4 thread but maybe I am wrong.

L1 cache sizes are the giveaway. Also, that multi-core scaling is off the charts...>>>2x the ST score.

No, Zen is called Family 17h. 17h in decimal equals 23. Thus you have to look for AMD Family 23.

Family 21 stands for 15h aka Bulldozer line.

So this is excavator at 2 ghz 4 cores which is close to Intel Core i7-4750HQ
2000 MHz (4 cores) single core score 2642. Or how do you draw a comparison to an Intel mobile CPU?

Well that sucks I guess we have to wait until they launch at end of May and some laptops come out to really know what improvements BR brings.

Bristol Ridge is just Carrizo for desktops. Go look at performance numbers for Carrizo and use your imagination to figure out how it would perform at higher clock-speeds 😛
 
Works fine for low-mid-range builds. I don't give people i3's; A8-7600 (and now whatever the BR equivalent is) make a lot more sense. Now when they need more grunt, then I start tapping Intel for i5s and such. But below that? Intel's actually a pretty crap value.

It is Carrizo silicon with a new firmware. Various tweaks (mainly for better binning) could give up to 15% perf vs Carrizo, according to AMD's ISSCC paper: Increasing the performance of a 28nm x86-64 microprocessor through system power management

Basically, this silicon has now ability to achieve a bit higher frequencies at the same TDP than it would with the Carrizo's firmware.

Those kinda results can pribably only be seen in labs. Irl nigh impossible to tell.
