AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Beats Intel’s Core i7-9700K in Cinebench
Since 2000, AMD has often beaten Intel on <i>multi-threaded</i> workloads, but never <i>single-threaded</i> (at comparable clocks). This bench shows AMD beating Intel on <i>both</i>! That's what's incredibly notable here. The last time it happened was 20 years ago with the AMD K7.<p>Now Zen 2 seems to overall beat Intel on every metric: single-threaded perf, multi-threaded perf, perf/dollar, perf/watt. No matter how you look at it, Zen 2 comes out on top.¹ Very impressive.<p>Man the folks at Intel must feel the heat.<p>¹ Except perf/socket when competing with the Xeon 9200, but that's just a PR stunt no one cares about: <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/zorinaq/status/1135766935667240960" rel="nofollow">https://mobile.twitter.com/zorinaq/status/113576693566724096...</a>
