This Raptor sample with literally same clock as ADL, has very similar gaming performance, ADL has ~1-4% advantage, and ~3% in CSGO is convincing evidence that clocks similar.
It's safe bet ADL could use more power than this RPL sample to maintain clock, which means this Raptor has a bit lower clock than ADL
But CB ST perf regression is even larger than gaming, which means,,,, you're maybe right, the doubling L2 which has higher latency seems to have negative hit in usual IPC.
That's why I don't use ES sample to set any perf number in stone. Same with Zen4 and others.
Yeah. But what's worth mentioning is at least bottlenecked ring bus doesn't hurt IPC
