AMD shows of first bench of new 8 core ZEN CPU - on par with Intels 8 core Broadwell-E in Blender
Both CPUs have 8 cores, can run 16 threads, and are running at 3 GHZ to make it comparable. This looks really promising for workstations. Especially if AMD can not only compete in multithreaded workloads, but also in single threaded workloads and if they can compete in the power efficiency department.… -

Yeah, manufacturers pick the benchmarks in which they look good. But Blender should be a decent pick for a multithreaded performance comparison to their 8 module FX line (e.g. FX 8350 etc.), which as far as I remember was much slower than Intels 4 core CPUs in Blender (a i7 4770 was 50% faster in the BMW bench if I… -

The new laptop GPUs are indeed better then the previous generation desktop ones, but for CPUs it's a completely different story. Even the highest end laptop CPUs are vastly inferior to standard desktop CPUs, and this is not going to change anytime soon. -

Did everyone forget this? https://www.engadget.com/2016/04/20/intel-s-move-away-from-pcs-is-difficult-but-necessary/ This opens new ground for AMD imo because PC's are not going away anytime soon. Been using the Phenom II X6 (4ghz oc) from 2011 and it's served me well to date. I hope this is not more AMD hype because they… -

If thats true then that would be amazing. Intel needs to make some real advancements, the last 5 years have been absolutely sluggish. Edit: Wait a minute, AMD said identical clock speeds, so they underclocked the Broadwell (6900k I assume) from 3.7 to 3 Gz ? That would be totally silly. Is that boost clock or default clock… -

Between having a laptop and being able to bake good, clean, high-resolution lightmaps in less than a second for a big-ish level on a machine that costs less than $2000, I'd choose the fast lightmaps all the way. -

How's that? Nvidia and Intel have both released hardware so powerful and efficient that the upcoming generation of laptops will outperform current high-end desktops (GTX 980 gen), without costing you your soul or immolating itself under load. -

There's been two contradictory benchmark reports already. Let the CPU fandom wars begin again :/ -

Bring on the price competition. CPUs with good per-thread performance and more then 6 cores are way too expensive atm.
