    Citadelen reacted to Bombastinator in It's now AMD vs Apple - more Ryzen 5000U-series benchmarks found   
    I personally think the dude who puts a zen2 core in something and calls it a 5xxx needs to be slapped. 4xxxx is good. If it’s more advanced or has extra to use. Add a 50 on the end.  There’s room.  AMD JUST FIXED that stupidity problem with the G processors though. Putting it right back again after going to 5 not 4 is pure asinine behavior.

    In before power consumption doesn't matter. 
    because Nvidia lost in power consumption this time.

    Citadelen reacted to leadeater in Anandtech release their deep dive on A14 cpus microarc.   
    And yet like I said SPEC2017 exists and is more relevant to day than SPEC2006 is, like I said. Would you not rather SPEC2017 was run which has other things in it like neural network workloads so you can see how the hardware accelerated paths in CPUs perform with that?
     
    There's so much more in SPEC2017, it simply is more relevant than SPEC2006 is today.

    Citadelen reacted to leadeater in Anandtech release their deep dive on A14 cpus microarc.   
    Um no... literally SPEC2006 contains tests that have been superseded by more modern options that are included in SPEC2017. Unless you're saying h264ref is more relevant than what it actually is today? As an example.
     
    You're confusing relevancy with accuracy. Something can be accurately less relevant or irrelevant.
     
    So what you are essentially saying is it better to run SPEC2006 than it is SPEC2017 then?
     
    No I said the same tests in SPEC2006 and SPEC2017 have different performance deltas for the same products. I did point you to the names of two of them.

    Like did you not just check Anandtech like I said to, it's not exceptionally hard to find.....
     

     

    https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-dive-review-5950x-5900x-5800x-and-5700x-tested/9
     
    See link for the more detailed test results but the above illustrates well enough when doing performance analysis using a more current tool shows a little bit different story than an older one. It's just a shame SPEC2017 results are more limited. Nothing earth shattering but outside margin of error and when comparing products it could be the difference between for example the 10900k looking better or worse compared to it's competition so it does in fact matter.
     
    Now the specific tests to go look for would be FP ibm and namd if you want to see an then and now difference of the same test, rather than noticing that SPEC2017 has replaced and added modern equivilents/alternatives. There are also two INT tests that are common between both and show a delta difference.
     
    Call me crazy but a newer benchmark suite seems like a better idea to me, SPEC didn't create it for no reason.
  6. Agree
    Citadelen reacted to leadeater in Anandtech release their deep dive on A14 cpus microarc.   
    By the simple fact of it's age and it's deprecated status by SPEC and that the performance margins between the same CPUs on the current equivalent tests are different for SPEC2017. Not all the margins are vastly different but there are some that are.
     
    SPEC2006 better represents 10 years ago and SPEC2017 better represents today, I don't think that is too hard to understand. Anandtech is using SPEC2006 because of their historical data, they have also used SPEC2017 on current Intel and Ryzen CPUs so that data exists if you are interested.
     
    Cinebench is equivalent to comparing a single test case in SPECPerf, you might have 2% difference there but not so in the other slew of test cases.
  7. Agree
    Citadelen reacted to leadeater in Anandtech release their deep dive on A14 cpus microarc.   
    But it's also not an exceptionally good benchmark is it when almost everything you run today will have AVX2 in it... At least I'm pretty sure Anandtech compiles SPEC2006 with AVX2 flag set so there is that.
     
    Like SPEC2017 exists and SPEC officially considers SPEC2006 retired.
     
    But it's a really good benchmark if it wanted to know how ~10 year old software runs, which might be useful to at least a few people.
     
    Edit:
    Also on Windows the benchmarks are run using Windows Subsystem for Linux which is how Anandtech are running them on the x86 CPUs.

    Citadelen reacted to RejZoR in AMD to Finalize Acquisition of Xilinx for $35 Billion + Record Q3 2020 Earnings   
    ARM deal was nothing like this. ARM deal could affect entire landscape of mobile devices down to us consumers, which is why such reaction. Xilinx deal doesn't really affect any of us on a grand scheme. It's a very niche but apparently important part of computing, but doesn't really touch us small consumers.

    insane... outright insane. I hope very much to see more of AMD like this in the future, because the have shown to undercut intel in various tasks with a lower power consumption. May there be competition!

    Some are more feature creep than anything but recording is super useful, being able to quickly save that 360 no scope you just pulled is great, its much harder to setup other programs to do it, and its much less taxing as well,
