>Oh and AMD also said that they ran all of their Intel system tests that they shared today without software and firmware mitigations in place for these security flaws, which gives Intel a much better shot at 'Best-Case Scenario' performance.
It wasn't even their final form. They're hiding their power level.
Sandbagging or just too lazy to redo the benchmarks?

>May Windows update WTF is that supposed to mean?
Levi Rogers
If you know Lisa Su, you know she's doing this to btfo Intel on launch day.
I wonder what memory speeds they ran the benches on too
Anthony Fisher
The May Windows update gives AMD an additional ~15% boost in performance. We're potentially looking at even crazier performance numbers from AMD once it's tested with updated systems.
Only multithreaded stuff, it's scheduler is ccx aware now.
Noah Cox
will this benefit rpcs3? it was already manually limiting itself to the second CCX only.
obviously crossing CCX would probably still be off the table for old gens.
Carson Rodriguez
I don't know why exactly, but from my understanding the current Windows 10 build isn't optimised for AMD's CCX design because Intel co-delevoped parts of it years ago to work well on their Xeons. The may update will rework scheduling to give AMD an advantage.
Gavin Robinson
But they didn't need to, because the performance fuckups were Intel exclusive?
This article talks about it a bit. This was interesting.
>With previous builds of Windows, AMD said it could take around 30 milliseconds for the CPU to ramp up to higher frequencies. >As of the update (and with a new chipset driver) it’ll take just 1 to 2 milliseconds for the chip to reach its top speed. >These fixes give some games a boost of 15 percent, while the faster clock ramping can yield 6-percent improvements.
That's one hell of an improvement in how quickly the clocks ramp up after that upgrade. That's like ~20x faster.
>The may update will it's been out for a while now
James Adams
Who knows what's behind it. I'd wager Intel folks have been giving her shit every time they've seen AMD people in press conferences and other occasions. That must have gotten a bit annoying after a decade of hearing their jeers. AMD finally got fed up and decided to destroy the fuck out of them out of spite. It's going to get even worse when Threadrippers come out and completely obliterate the competition in the HEDT field.
Kevin Wilson
>le epic edgy meme from pol
this is what you trying to hard AMD shills look like right now
Intel has done some major scumbag shit against AMD in the past. Good on her for getting payback.
Joseph Perez
>t. is a nigger who thinks ebonics is correct english
Samuel Torres
holy fuck intel is dead
Evan Peterson
And that's a good thing.
Jace Cooper
It will not give AMD an advantage but will make sure scheduling with AMD actually works properly now. I mean the end result is that it does improve performance with AMD but it will not affect intel performance negatively.
Evan Foster
Congrats on the (You)s you fucking attention whore

it wouldn't surprise me to hear they purposely used slow RAM with the Ryzen to sandbag further. They as a company know that their benchmarks, regardless of their testing methodology will be seen as biased. So they're gonna resort to waiting on 3rd party benches who WILL be testing with proper 3200MHz RAM. These reviews will speak for themselves.
Robert Roberts
Third parties will also most likely have Intel mitigations applied, this is gonna be interesting
Eli Gray
Does the sandbagging theory really hold up? Have they done this in the past?
Michael Thompson
that's very true. All the handi-caps that AMD may have offered Intel in their E3 showing will be missing. AMD hasn't been in this position of owning Intel this hard since their Original Athlon 64 days. Now that AMD's Ryzen architecture is in full swing with proper optimizations on the OS level as well (Windows 1903 update), everything is swinging in their favor. I wouldn't be surprised if AMD is sandbagging, at least a little bit, to REALLY twist the fucking knife and break the blade off in Intel for all the years of AMD being dominated.
This was a long time coming and with Su as the helm, they're a force to be reckoned with.
Gabriel Clark
Dude they sandbagged Zen performance numbers for like 2 years before first gen Ryzen to lull Intel into a false sense of security
Benjamin Lee
ARE THERE ANY REAL WORLD BENCHMARKS OUT YET?! DON'T GIVE ME FUCKING RELATIVE FPS! I WANT 99%s, 1%s and 0.1%s IN DEMANDING AAA TITLES, NOT SYNTHETIC BENCHMARKS!
Ryder Turner
Wait for the embargo to lift on 7/7. Pre-order now though.
Ayden Nguyen
why can't women be at least 5% as logical, focused, modest, calm and based as mommy su?
Landon Sullivan
kek
James Reyes
as far as I know rpcs3 just implemented their own thread scheduler because the windows one sucked, so I don't think this will help
Nicholas Thompson
1903-based LTSD build when?
Nicholas Edwards
there will be no 1903 based build LTSC has a 3 year release cycle
Jaxson Cook
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_editions >There are currently 3 releases of LTSC: one in 2015 (version 1507), one in 2016 (version 1607) and one in 2018 (version 1809). So we're long for a new one, then?
Carter Anderson
yep
James Price
Why contain her?
Nolan Scott
Yep, my predictions were right, if 2950X was already capable of boosting to 4.4GHz, I expected Zen2 to reach 4.7GHz on high end chips.
