      @bappyplays 5 лет назад

      I thought that. If the dictionary size was small enough (e.g. 14 or 15MB) to fit into the i9's cache memory, it might result in the i9 coming back out on top. who knows.

    • @photonboy999
      @photonboy999 5 лет назад +1

      L3 is 32MB per chiplet. In fact, it's 16MB per CCX so that's actually your cache limit in terms of unique data. If you had for example HALF the dictionary in one CCX's cache and HALF in the other CCX's cache then any thread for CCX#1 would need to jump over and start running on CCX#2 to access any cache data stored there which adds latency thus performance drops...even worse if your thread jumps between chiplets..
      besides I don't think 7zip even works like that. I don't think the entire dictionary is dropped into a CPU cache... I assume the 32MB dictionary is stored in DDR4 memory but only relevant data for what each thread is doing currently is stored in the CPU caches so likely the memory requirement per THREAD for optimal size is far smaller than the dictionary size... I don't even know if there's a linear relationship between dictionary size and cache size requirements

    • @photonboy999
      @photonboy999 5 лет назад +1

      Also, the fact that 7zip has a default dictionary size of 32MB also makes me question how much cache matters on the CPU. Dictionary size ties in to compression capability but CPU's with far less than 32MB of cache seem to run quite well... an interesting test would be to run a large compression so you can easily time it then plot dictionary size vs time to compress. I'd think if cache is that important you'd see performance drop off a cliff if a dictionary size was suddenly too big. But again, not sure it works that way.

    As someone who has always been Intel (have one in the rig now) but has also just ordered a 3700x, I find it odd that none of these reviews fail to mention that the Ryzen 3000 series has literally JUST come out and these games won't be optimised at all for them yet. So for them to be in the region of the much more expensive 9900k etc is really good IMO.

    I would have to say mission accomplished by AMD,
    the 3900x destroys the 9900k in everything outside gaming. The 3900x manages to hold 144fps in games like battlefield and call of duty. Which the 2700x and 1700x was not able to do.
    The high refresh gaming argument is now out the window. You can also expect the ryzen 3900x to get better as bios in motherboards mature as well as windows updates
    the only thing that irks me is the clock speeds. I was hoping for 4.5ghz on all cores. But I guess tsmc 7nm process still has some fine tuning to do. It is marvelous for efficiency though but the clock speeds still leave alot to be desired.
    Overall the 3900x is a big upgrade coming from a ryzen 1700. In gaming and productivity. Intel's advantage in Adobe is gone.
    Apple should consider using ryzen third gen in upcoming Macs, that will make the prices significantly cheaper. Apple is not gaming focused either so ryzen third gen will be great for all the newest cheese graters

      Steve, I hope you consider an alternative review in the coming weeks: undervolting.
      This is not only interesting for people with TV Box/SFF units, but can show us what to expect with the 2020 PS5 and Xbox V consoles. I know it won't be one-to-one, since consoles typically draw around 100-200W power from wall, especially when considering the efficiencies of APU/Laptops and the added optimisations on consoles.
      However, a B450 Mobo and DDR4-3200MHz RAM, combined with a R7-3700X CPU and RX 5700 GPU seems to be around the ballpark. Ofcourse, this would also require some underclocking for both of those components. In particularly, a Base 3.6GHz undervolt All-core for the CPU and around a Base 1.6GHz undervolt for the GPU.
      I do wonder if something like that would be able to offer True 4K-HDR/High Settings/60fps-FreeSync for the living room, for both lightweight titles (F1 2019) and heavier titles (FarCry New Dawn). And maybe also for the upcoming CyberPunk 2077, but disregarding un-optimised games like GTA V and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

      @ I was actually referring to the 5800x, due to the improved single thread performance. The 3700x is still a great CPU though, however the i7s have been coming down in price. Originally, the i7 9700k was more expensive around the $400 price point, so while technically outperforming the 3700x, the 3700x was only about ~$330 or so, which made it better value overall, but now you can easily find both for overall the same price, so in my opinion, the one you should get depends on your main usage. If you're a gaming person, then you'd get more use out of the i7, but if you're generally using a PC more for productivity or multitasking, the 3700x would be the better choice.

    I was also hoping that the gaming performance would be a bit more closer. But considering the massive productivity advantage and close enough gaming performance, this is definitely a win for AMD.
    And even in gaming, the 1% lows and the averages are tighter than they are on the intel, which could mean a smoother overall experience. So there is no doubt that for most people, the AMD is the CPU of choice.

      IT is likely if you are buying a 3900X 3800x or 3700X you will be gaming at 1440p. Not 1080p. So in most games the intel and amd cpus are identical in performance.

      That's a fair point, but for me it was.. because mine was still new in box and I was able to return it 4 days ago and get my money back (minus 10%).. and then get the 3700X for $70 more. I am happy with this based on power consumption figures alone. Any added performance is a bonus and in some instances, there is a big performance increase for 3700X. In gaming.. not so much, but I primarily care about 24/7 encoding.. because this really pushes up the power bill. And some weeks, it's 50-100 hours straight of encoding. If I was gaming at 1440p, I probably wouldn't care as much. And would definitely be aiming at a 2080ti or 2070 Super. I can just give you a tip though, if you wanted to sell your 2700X, you probably should have done it in the last few weeks. Or do it very soon. Because it's value is about to fall off a cliff. Even the 3600 is faster (in most things) and due to socket compatibility.. there's no real reason to buy 1000 or 2000 series AMD chips.. unless they can be had for real cheap. Which I guess is another reason for you to hold on to what you have.. and then wait for 4000 series.

      Ya, that is my only complaint, the intel should have been tested on the same cooler that was used in the value measurement or both should have been retested on the same AIO and those numbers used in the value assessment. So Intel got the cooling of a 280mm AIO but the pricing of a 1/2 priced air cooler, while the Dark Rock Pro 4 is still a better cooler than the Prism. Also, seeing what LTT mentioned about core scheduling issues, I wonder if gaming results would slightly increase or not if that is tweaked a bit.

      Many other reviewers don't even seem to understand what IPC _is_ (they often very incorrectly say it just means single thread performance - nope! The key part is that it is independent of frequency, being a measure of compute efficiency per cycle), so this is hardly surprising haha.
      It's pretty impressive that they have completely caught up with Intel in IPC. The only thing saving Intel in any technical sense now is their ability to clock do high, which ultimately is a result of them owning and thus controlling their own fabs, with the very high amount of control over manufacturing this allows them. Architecturally, AMD have caught up, and in some senses, actually have a superior design (the heterogeneous chiplet design is forward thinking and inspired, and was a significant risky bet for them... which has totally paid off!)

    Guys This whole Benchmark is totally flawed! I explain why:
    1. computerbase.de showed that the 3900x loses 5% single Core and 3% Multi Core with the boxed cooler compared to when compared to an Noctua Air Cooler! With an AIO the difference should be even greater!
    That means all the numbers for Ryzen 3000 in this review are 3-5% LOWER than if it would have been tested with the same cooler as Intel! This is literrally what Principled Technology did!
    2. I would bet money that this review did not control for different subtimings when an XMP Profile is loaded! When you load an XMP Profile the Subtimings are calculated wich can be different from Mainboad to Mainboard or Intel Platform to AMD Platform. If you dont't manually set every of the 20+ Subtimings on both Platforms to the same value you will get an difference in Performance!
    Guess wich website controls for every RAM Timing? computerbase.de
    Steve does not specify if he used the new Chipsetdriver that came out today. Computerbase found that this new driver has a 5% single core performance boost for the 3900x. Also if you use the same harddrive for both platforms it will cost performance for AMD. You should use hdd for different platforms.
    So as you can see. Who do you think did an better job at benchmarking? The website wich test how much the cooler makes an difference, how much The Chipsetdriver released today makes an difference, that benchmarked every single CPU with the newest Windows, BIOS update of the last few days.
    I can highly recommend to look at the computerbase review. Here is a google translated link. On the bottom is boxed vs noctua performance testing

      @@mduckernz I went with the 3900x and 32gb cl16 3200mhz ram. Might as well go for broke if it lasts half as long as the 2600k. Couldn't justify the cost of 3600mhz ram though, hoping it won't matter much. I feel like a giddy kid building a new system again.

    I think is important to mention that the tsmc 7nm silicon is kind of limited by the imposed amd locks so that i stays very efficient and because of that when one of the 3 locks is hit even if the other 2 are not, youre cpu will stop increasing the frequency and you hit that frequency wall. Here are the silicon frequency locks described on the anandtech article:
    "Package Power Tracking (PPT): The power threshold that is allowed to be delivered to the socket.
    This is 88W for 65W TDP processors, and 142W for 105W TDP processors.
    Thermal Design Current (TDC): The maximum amount of current delivered by the motherboard’s voltage regulators when under thermally constrained scenarios (high temperatures)
    This is 60A for 65W TDP processors, and 95A for 105W TDP processors.
    Electrical Design Current (EDC): This is the maximum amount of current at any instantaneous short period of time that can be delivered by the motherboard’s voltage regulators.
    This is 90A for 65W TDP processors, and 140A for 105W TDP processors."
    I think Intel has a way wider margin on those , and i think is one of the reasons why those intel cpus clock much higher but also draw much more juice , amd wanted those to be efficient , the vrms on x570 are way overdone for those power draw limits, also in terms of cooling wouldnt be a problem for some high end noctua cooler or good aio , but it doesnt matter since your locked by amd and that pbo it think doesnt really cross the power boundaries , or if it does is very limited %

    Several of these benchmarks, yours and others, show the 3700x and 3900x scoring the exact same.
    On one hand that tells me that the 12 core has extra resources while gaming, which is what I want, but I'd love to see the 3600x in the mix and see how it does.

    Personally I would never rely on automatic CPU voltage when overclocking. They are notorious for putting too much voltage "just in case", which may not necessarily mean instant death for the CPU but it certainly adds unnecessary stress and heat and reduced lifetime. But LLC also tends to boost the volts. I guess it was too much in this case.
