But you did not specify Baseline as you said "Intel spec". PL1=PL2=253W is the default official Intel spec, not the baseline one. You're also complaining about performance loss so I didn't think you were talking about the Baseline spec as it's nonsensical to complain about this. It's like...

I think you fell for clickbait because the difference is less than 10% MT and no change in ST perf in the original article with the QS sample. Even at the 125W spec there's still no change in ST performance so I'm not sure where you're getting your 10% from. PL1=PL2=253W is still the advertised...

Nvidia does not have dual issue ALUs. They run into the same problem in regards to scaling but it's misinformation to call it dual issue. A 4090 does actually have 16384 FP32 ALUs and not 8192 with dual issue. On mid/lower end cards this does actully show an advantage for Nvidia (just look at...

Is he even correct 50% of the time? I just feel he shouldn't be used as a source for news articles.

This isn't really a fair comparison because the other CPUs aren't being limited. I know dual CCD Zen 4 drops off hard at very low wattages because of MCM but I think at 95W the 7950x would beat it in efficiency. Most likely the memory subsystem on Intel is faster so better minimums as that's...

Even when everything is burning and flooding people will still deny it. Just like people will deny the earth is round.

Even Kepler said the 7900XTX is a good deal more expensive than the 4080 and he's generally very pro-AMD. Don't forget the 4080 only has a 379 mm² die so it's barely bigger than the GCD of 7900XTX. The 7900XTX is still a 500+ mm² GPU. N31 still has 3 different cuts despite chiplets so what did...

I bet they failed to Google this at Nvidia. You should mail it to them.

And HBM is better than GDDR6x. And Graphene is better than Silicium. For regular consumers chiplets are purely a cost saving measure with performance/efficiency downsides. Although I'm not even sure if they're cheaper to make GPU-wise as I'm sure the 7900XTX is more expensive in chip cost than...

When Intel had TDPs there was 0 discrepancy if the mobo didn't ignore it. Intel's TDP was 100% on the mark whereas for AMD the real limit is PPT. Why pick the 7900x for your example and not the 7950x? I just checked the review and it drew 235W with a 170W TDP. The only reason the 7900x is only...

This is funny because Intel ditched the TDP term years ago but the media just struggles with updating their internal terms and keeps on using it for PBP. Of course TDP and PBP are completely different things. For most users PBP is of course useless. Hopefully AMD also changes their stance on...

50%? The post you're quoting shows 22% on a 4090 versus 41% on 7900XTX. It's obviously going to vary heavily from game to game with pathtracing being much worse, both in cost and how AMD does in them. On Nvidia lots of things are playable for most while they aren't on AMD if that's how you want...

Déjà Vu.

I wouldn't but you can tell with Lumen though. It's very, very noisy with all the RT noise. The denoising hardly seems to work. I'm generally an advocate of RT but software Lumen has some drawbacks which sometimes make it look worse than raster. Epic is putting more focus on hardware RT with...

I was talking about the 7900XTX, not the 7900XT. No card can do native 4K in this game if you want 60fps+. 4090 is very strong in this game but not strong enough for native 4K.
