Another article comparing components; GN does it 24/ 7.
I'm not ready to jump on any hype train based on these.

So many idiots in the comments crying about the comparision with the 5800x 🤣. ONLY single core comparisions were made, and if had any idea what you were talking about(which you clearly didn't), you'd have known that the 5800x is the zen3 chip with the highest single core performance.

Friendly Reminder:
i3/[Nil]
-Very Basic/Low-end

i5/R5
-Mainstream/Mid-range

i7/R7
-Performance/High-end

i9/R9

i9 vs R7 and only 7% improvement is a joke for the i9. They're still using ancient tech aka ++++++++++++++++ on their 14nm.

Short lived? Top i9 dog vs mid range R7? That article is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

r7 5800x isnt mid range cpu

I agree this article is a little clickbaity. But to go so far to say they're in Intel"s payroll? Come on guys. NBC has been touting AMD laptops over the Intel couterparts all year long.

This is utter nonsense. You've got a not-yet-released Intel chip, rumoured benchmarks, you're comparing against the mid-range AMD chip, and only in a single test, which uses an instruction set that favours Intel.

This whole site is now on my block list. I encourage others to do the same. These guys are clearly on Intel's payroll.

An i5 11400/f with memory oc on a b560m mortar would be my choice..😍

So if you do the math, 5 Ghz/4.7 GHz = 6.4% higher clock. So basically Intel has managed to reach Zen 3 IPC in some benchmarks. Which isn't bad, but yeah, as the other commenters said, article is a little clickbaity. I'd suggest maybe trying some A/B testing with less clickbaity stuff, and also think about the audience/commentators you want. We have enough wccftechs around.

Back on topic: nice to see the race is fully on! Let's see how far these giants can push each other, and how well they'll be able to meet the oncoming ARM challengers. And don't rule out risc-v just yet. Interesting times.

Intel, like nvidia, have been sitting on their hands for years. A 1/3 uplift would be impressive in a normal cycle but in this context they're revealing how badly they held back development.

This is an utter joke - comparing Intel's so called latest with a mid range AMD CPU. Articles like this make us question the credibility of the website. Surely you can do better than just trying to bring down AMD when it's clear they are in the lead.

Disgraceful article.

Not like Intel to leak misleading test results that are deceptively skewed in their favour is it?  :-X

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X tops the Geekbench 5 Single-core charts with a score of 1713 points, making Intel's Rocket Lake chip about 5.5% faster in single-threaded applications.

But, the catch to note with these scores is that Geekbench 5 uses AVX-512, which makes Intel's scores slightly inflated as only Rocket Lake supports it. Consequently, just because Intel's chip performs 5.5% faster in GeekBench 5, that does not mean it will perform faster than AMD's Zen 3 chips in real-world, single-threaded applications as there are no applications that use this yet -- and this is likely to remain so for quite some time to come. -- a less clickbait biased article

Articles like this make me question this website's reputation.

even if this were real i find it really stupid that intel's top of the line isn't being compared to amd's best
where are the 5800x and 5950x lol
