    rvmva reacted to tom_w141 in ryzen 1600 upgrade. HELP!   
    3000 ideally but the biggest % gain over 2133 is 2666. This means the difference between 2133 and 2666 is bigger than 2666 and 3000. I hope I have explained clearly

    I'm not sure if it can be measured that way. They're completely different CPUs. The A8 has a built in GPU, which is it's main strong point, but when paired with a GPU, it's main purpose is destroyed, and you're left with an extremely sub-par, bottleneck CPU, while the FX 6200 is built to work with a GPU, and not on it's own.

    rvmva reacted to GoodBytes in Firefox and Edge NOT friendly   
    I know most people uses Chrome, but the posting anything using Firefox or Edge is beyond broken. The text box, where you type a post, under Edge, when typing, if you hit ENTER, or Shift Enter, in the post, the cursor jumps Ike 5-6 lines, and you can no longer type, refocusing to text box doesn't work either. Hitting backspace, RELOADS the page. Under Firefox, if you do an emoticon, or use the name tagging feature, then everything screws up until you either reload the page, or undo.
    The text box needs to be replaces. A return to the basic HTML text box, and no more this Java Script abomination is needed, or at least as an option like before, for no. Chrome users.

    rvmva reacted to AllHokage in What Should I add to my setup?   
    So this is my 1st gaming setup, "The Red Kraken" (2 Year's old).
     
    Please Note: I'm planning my second setup when 4K is possible (2 years or so) and going to go for top of the line parts then, so don't really wan't to swap graphics card's ect... I wan't to mostly upgrade the looks of the overall setup + I'm also in a rental currently, so can't change much with the room until I move.
     
    Plans
    - Add switch to case LED's
    - Bluetooth headphones for the stand
    - Better desk cable management...
    - Poster for the wall (Please send me a good one if you see one out there, looking for green Japanese theme)
    - Tray for my bamboo (instead of takeaway container  :huh:)
    - NEW PHONE! For better picture...
     
    On the way (Already bought)
    - New Mouse Pad
    - Audio Headphones (under desk) AKG K7XX
    - O rings for keyboard
    - Surge board box for my second powepoint.

    CPU Benchmarks
     
    Cinebench R15:
    Cinebench R15 is a test that uses the Maxon Render Engine, it lets the CPU calculate the image and then based on the time taken to complete it will return a score. It has both multi and single cores tests. I've included both results for you to look at. Read more.
     

     
    In the multicore test most of the more mordern and high end CPUs do a pretty good job, the 8320 does very well in this test for its price and had it been a higher clock speed it'd easily score much higher or the same than the i5 counterpart. 
     

     
    In the single core tests things look a little different, as expected the latest Intel processors are at the top of the charts, however disappointingly AMDs offerings are sitting towards the bottom of the chart, not entirely unsurprising but given the age of some of the parts in this comparison you'd expect a little more from a 2012 chip.
     
    Cinebench R11.5:
    Slightly older version of the Cinebench render engine, it drops some instruction sets but I included it as a lot of other R11.5 results are available online for your own comparison.

     
    Results are very similar to the R15 scores here, AMD are doing well in multithreaded testing here and offers an impressive value again.
     

     
    The Haswell offerings again offer very strong performance in this test, with everything else trailing pretty far behind.
     
    AIDA64 CPU:
    This is a simple integer test that uses a 10x10 chessboard calculation and tests the CPUs prediction ability, there's a penalty for mispredictions. CPUs with long pipelines will typically struggle in this test due to the penalty for a misprediction. Read more.

     
    Performance wise Intel's i5 CPU is doing very well in this test, not far behind is AMDs 8 core offering which comes in a little cheaper. However we do see the older Q9650 beating out the 6 and 4 core AMDs which would suggest AMDs branch prediction isn't particularly good. And in the last few spots are the dual core CPUs which is expected as this is a multithreaded test.
     
    MaxMem:
    Maxmem is a memory benchmark that'll test the IMCs capability to handle the RAM, typically DDR3 platforms and newer chips should do pretty well in this test.



     
    In these tests I'd expect DDR3 platforms to have a advantage by default due to the banwidth available, however the Haswell memory controller seems to be far ahead of AMDs offerings, in this test it's over 5x the speed. I suspect the program may not be optimized for AMDs architecture or perhaps AMDs IMC is just that slow.
     
     
    And the latency would be linked to how old the IMC is and what memory technology is in use.e This seems to be pretty linear in terms of age with the newest chips having the lowest latency and the oldest ones having the highest.
     
    Multithreaded PI & Linpack:
    This benhmark is another timed mathmatical calculation, the Pi benchmark calculates Pi to 80,000 decimal places using all available threads. The Linpack does the Linpack calculation on all available threads. Read more.


     
    Given that it's a multithreaded test the multicore offerings seem to do pretty well, there appears to be a bottleneck on the FX chips at around 19.8 seconds as both the 6 core and 8 core offering scored very similarly, but the 4300 is trailing behind. 
     
    SuperPI 1M & 32M:
    Super PI is a pretty classic floating point benchmark, it uses a single thread and it measures the time to calculate Pi to a set amount of decimals, in this test I'll use the popular 1M and 32M presets. Read more.


     
    Due to only using a single thread the G3258 and 4690K perform very similarly, and the FX series would score the same if they were at the same clock speed. In this test all but 1 Intel chip beats out AMDs offerings which would indicate a problem with AMDs implementation of the x87 instructions which are used in this test.
     
    WinRAR:
    This is the benchmark built into WinRAR, it's a fairly simple multithreaded integer test, in these tests multicore CPUs with strong integer power (namely the FX series) are likely to perform very well.

     
    As expected AMDs CPU offerings do very well in this test, AMDs Bulldozer (And derivatives) are designed on a CMT architecture that they originally intended to implement into servers, as multithreaded integer workloads are fairly common in that environment. And as expected the weaker dual core CPUs fall behind in this test.

    rvmva reacted to LAwLz in The last time amd kicked intel in the ass   
    The Phenom II 955 was actually a very good pick compared to the i5-750. That was late 2009 to late 2010. But even then it was "the Intel is slightly better but costs more".
    Since then it's just been "Intel crushes AMD except if you got a very specific budget".
     
    The last time AMD was actually better, not just better in terms of price was Athlon 64 FX back in 2003. I don't remember all that well, but I think Intel did not start becoming dominant until they released the Core 2 Duo and that was something like 2006.
     
    So I guess it looks kind of like this:
    2003-2006 = AMD winning.
    2006-2010 = Intel winning but not by much (for desktops, Intel was still better for laptops). AMD still found some uses.
    2011-2016 = Pretty much no reason to get AMD CPUs.
