NO, it is not.
The issue is that you are looking at the picture Intel gave you vs. reality.
In every metric imaginable Intel is behind except 'raw performance ignoring power'.
Note that I'm not going on the typical Intel power consumption rant.
If you take ANY SPR platform and compare it to atop Milan-X platform, the Milan-X platform is going to deliver far better perf/watt while running cooler than the Intel chip, and they are doing that with FAR less silicon. Intel allowed 4S on SPR precisely because they are losing this little 'race'. AMD is all about producing inexpensive, cool running, power efficient chips. Intel is all about throwing money and climate change out the window in order to gain 2% extra performance.
I try to be neutral to both parties. I've been in this game long enough that I know Intel can deliver when pushed.
I am still waiting on that delivery Intel. I get that you are a sub, but sheesh...
