One should also see how limited is the single core clock in a mobile (premium) chip compared to the desktop version. I suspect not much, but not negligible. Again, if these numbers are real and not speculation.

That s the improvement relatively to the 7945HX wich is the mobile version of the 7950X and is also displayed in this alleged leak, so mobile vs mobile.

The limitation is certainly not big enough to make up for the RTG claims of 3000 points CB score. While i would want those higher numbers to be true, i am more inclined to believe these lower, less dramatic ones.

I have absolutely no doubt RTG's claims are incorrect (his track record is one of the worst, with a lot of backtracking). What I'm more interested is how true are those SPEC leaks.

I have no preconception, I was merely asking if there was some limitation due to the mobile platform. CB scores in any cases depend more on the FP side (which should have improvement too but no one stated how much).

Why do Kraken Point, Lunar Lake and M1 appear to be eerily similar?

Kraken Point vs Lunar Lake vs M1

CPU:
[4×Zen + 4×Zen5C] vs [4P+4LPE] vs [4P+4E]

GPU: [8 CU] vs [8 Xe Cores] vs [8 cores]

Sounds almost like Intel and AMD started developing something similar to the shocker that was the M1, which came in 2020.
Now 4/5 years later (which is about the time for a product development cycle), we will have Kraken Point and Lunar Lake.

The 7950X does not scale that great once you get to a certain PPT



Assuming those strix scores are legit then a 140W limit may be truncating the score if the desktop part has far more headroom when you feed it more power. The strix score may also be limited by thermals if the test system is actually a laptop. Finally if Halo is not coming out until next year then we have no idea how well power gated the SOC tile is given the firmware / drivers are probably rather immature right now.

This would not really apply to the single core scores mind just the MT score.

There are also plenty of other options as well so I would steer away from any definitive statements.

Doesn't look too good for "40% core-for-core faster than Zen 4 in SPECint 2017" claims, if true.
Can you explain why? For those of us who realise that not all programs are made the same, and SPEC isn't one of the programs listed in the tweet, and also saw that adroc previously said that cinebench wouldn't show the full increase... and cinebench isn't a measure of IPC, and you have no idea what power envelope and GHz this chip was running at, etc etc etc.

Can you please explain why, in words and numbers, not feelz. Thanks.

He can't.

Because that "leaker", if you could even call him that, has y'all gaslighted into believing that Cinebench and SPECint 2017 give vastly different performance per clock gains.

For a new architecture, it seems that Cinebench tracks well with SPEC. Anandtech found a mere 2 percentage point difference between the two:


So if this rumor from Chiphell forums turns out to be correct, he would have to eat crow.

I thought it was only Geekbench that correlated well with SPEC.

That sounds like an exciting place!

Interesting claim. Any reason you posted the charts for Zen 3 over Zen 2 instead of Zen 4 over Zen 3?



Oh, that's why. The ST perf in R20 gain (16.5%) was barely over than the clock gain (16.3%) from Zen 3 to Zen 4. There was a ~13% uplift in IPC that seems to have just disappeared somewhere, guess AMD must have just dropped it in their labs or something.

For Zen 3 it didnt, 19% in SpecINT and 17/11% and 10/11% in Cinebench R15/R20 respectively for ST and MT, only R15 is quite close for ST but that s not the case for CB R20 wich is far from the SPEC result, and it s no different for R23 since that s the same bench as R20 just that it was ported to be Apple compatible.


That being said there s no possible comparison between CB wich is FP and SpecINT wich use only Integer code, guess that you re hoping big that Zen 5 will be underwhelming, it s no secret that you are rabidly anti AMD.

Why are you guys only talking about 16C Zen 5 + 40 CU RDNA3.5 for Strix Halo? That's only the top configuration. There will certainly be cut down parts.

If Strix Halo uses Zen 5 CCDs, it means there is a possibility to have only one CCD; 8C Zen5 + 40 CU RDNA3.5 SKU. Such an SKU would be perfect for a gaming laptop.

Why not just use a discrete GPU for a gaming laptop? That will give you the newer RDNA4 feature set and dedicated VRAM.

A major selling point for an APU is that it makes building a simple low-end gaming PC a lot easier. Since you don't have to assemble the laptop yourself, do you care if it uses an APU or has a separate GPU?

There should be efficiencies in APU from BOM, power efficiency, memory efficiency. But this has been covered number of times.

Most of that isn't important in the context of gaming laptop. The lower memory bandwidth due to a lack of dedicated VRAM would hurt performance.

The BOM is really only less expensive as a result of not having dedicated VRAM and potentially other parts required if the TDP for the discrete GPU is higher. Laptop manufacturers aren't putting the die on a separate board or anything like that. All it does is change the layout of the board they put into the laptop.

That's why I think this is mainly targeted at professional users and isn't a particularly good gaming APU.

Yes - for comparing against an older uarch with a uarch that is supposed to be a "grounds-up redesign" like Zen 3 over Zen 2.

Two reasons - first one I've already explained. The other one being the fact that Zen 2 and Zen 3 are on the same node.

Ever heard of correlation =/= causation?

I'd definitely recommend giving the phrase a quick Google search if I were you.
