Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

[DisEnchantment]

Speculate at will

 

[igor_kavinski]

geekbench. Need I say more.

True. I suspect 9600X will be much better with PBO and Curve Shaper due to having lower temps than 7600X. Stock performance difference will not be enough to warrant an upgrade, unless the user is running something FP-intensive.

 

[fastandfurious6]

How is it possible all internals got beefed up even doubled but its only 10%-20% at most

everyone's in disbelief!

 

[CouncilorIrissa]

9600X vs. 7600X on the same mobo: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/7182575?baseline=7181563

Looks like nothing to write home about 🙁

4800MT/s for the 9600X vs 7600MT/s for the 7600X and GB6 is very membw sensitive.

I expect a 13-14% score difference using the same memory.

 

[igor_kavinski]

This shows the 9700X in a much better light over the 7800X3D: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/7158172?baseline=7196206

We are in the era of diminishing gains.

In 2018 when ARM unveiled the Cortex A76 with a colossal >50% IPC gain, they prophesied that going forward there will be only smaller gains. It has proved true. We haven't seen such a large IPC gain from them since.

Clearly not all of them were doubled. They forgot to double exactly the ones that would fetch 2x speed-up :-D

Huang got his STX Zenbook to boost properly lmao.

Linux providing 2/3 worth of a gen-on-gen improvement will never be not funny.

Was about to post. Theres the fabled 3K on Strix. Linux FTW!! Did Huang ever post part 2 of his review? He references it in part 1, but Ive yet to see it.

That's better. About 1.15x my 7840U in Linux.

That is absolutely not true.

 

[ErichZannMusician]

That is absolutely not true.

Literally proved in the link I posted, which is with 6400 MT/s memory.

 

[Philste]

This shows the 9700X in a much better light over the 7800X3D:

5.0 vs 5.5GHz for those SKUs, so clock normalised we also end at like 9%

 

[Josh128]

Latency isnt shown and is as important as clock. How else can you explain the massive descrepancies in ST and MT scores reporting same CPU clocks for same SKUs?

MT score of GB6 is irrelevant.

 

[Hail The Brain Slug]

MT score of GB6 is irrelevant.

Maybe overall, especially when comparing two different products. But comparing the exact same product against itself can provide some value. The core configuration and uarch is unchanged so differences in score can be attributed to more specific differences like boost clocks and memory.

The 'consensus' - if you will - in this forum is that GB6 multi-core score is useless as representative of your typical multi-core workload.

I can see nuance is lost on you.

 

[Josh128]

4800MT/s for the 9600X vs 7600MT/s for the 7600X and GB6 is very membw sensitive.

I expect a 13-14% score difference using the same memory.

For some unknown reason, a quite good result for 9600X posted after the above run, different system. This one appears to be hitting and maintaining full ST boost at least, but dont know if this is PBO or what.

At 6400 MT/s you might be running FCLK:MCLK at a ratio of 1:2.
In general best GB6 runs are either running DDR5-6000 (likely 1:1 ratio), or DDR5-8000. The reported clocks are very similar to your run.

ST score isn't as memory bandwidth sensitive, sure, but it still matters, so I wouldn't compare two CPUs with different memory setups on something as variable as gb6.

Anyway, only a few days left to wait to see how DOA GNR is.

 

[ErichZannMusician]

Nah, I find it funny that a forum whose members overwhelmingly decided that GB6 MT is useless suddenly splitting hairs about perceived differences between submissions because reality is turning out to be quite different from the hype they have been feeding on for months.

The reality is always more complex, no matter what the consensus is. This has been discussed ad nauseam. And this proves that no matter what technical arguments are given, someone will come and make the same approximative claim again and again.

If you want to see perfect scaling, pick GB6 ray tracer score, it scales about as well as Cinebench.

And then people wonder why more and more knowledgeable people are leaving the forum.
How is "do not treat different memory configs as an apples-to-apples comparison" a controversial statement.

edit: and by "knowledgeable" I don't mean myself -- I'm far from it.
