It's not your downplaying AMD marketing that's the problem, there have been plenty of voices in this thread that declared they will wait for reviews before anything else, and they were accepted as such.
The problem is your selective approach towards data, exactly the one flaw you're accusing this entire thread of. When it comes to the new AMD product you're very quick to judge outliers and proclaim limited to non-relevant memory overclock results in gaming, yet when it comes to Rocket Lake you don't even require a preview to estimate performance gains and proclaim a winner.
1. I ran a simple computation on a given set of data that is publicly available - and that is me being selective about it? If you have doubts regarding the results I obtained, feel free to do the computations yourself.
2. Regarding Rocket Lake, I said that it will be comfortably ahead in gaming IF it clocks to ~5GHz. That's speculation, true - but it is speculation based on known facts which makes it likely to be a highly probable outcome. What response did it provoke from the AMDeniers? - "nope, nada, can't be true", accusations of bias, refusal to acknowledge outliers in the data, appeals to authority etc. If you find my approach problematic, what do you have to say about these people?
You simply can't make up your mind between using objective data observation in the case of AMD marketing slides and using speculative estimates with no requirements for pre-existing data in the case of Rocket Lake and/or other Zen 3 performance metrics such as custom memory timing scaling. Your initial evaluation of Zen 3 gaming performance could have been entirely based on AMD marketing slides, with strong emphasis on probable high variance in gaming performance results, cautioning others to take into account a low average gaming performance lead of only 5%. Instead you chose to talk about overclocking and custom memory scaling on Skylake against a CPU you have no other data for.
Why shouldn't we talk about custom memory scaling? AMD took the liberty to demonstrate their CPU as well as the Intel one with out-of-spec memory, so it is only natural that both should be judged on how well they can maximize their potential in this front.
