#2Single core performance?
All i'm seeing is the confirmation that independently parallalizable tasks finish twice as fast on a cpu with twice the cores. cool, amdahl's law is proven.
The handbrake one, all the times seems similar indicating similar single core perf.
This matters for me since single core perf is pretty important for visual studio/other software with alot going on feeling "snappy" even tho the actual compiling/rendering might be faster and scale with moree cores.

Single core should be not much worse than Ryzen.

#4"One big disparity between the three machines was the Zen 4 machine was outfitted with 512GB of memory, while its competition had just 128GB each"
This feels like cheating to me.

They had to give the Eypc 4 more RAM to populate all its RAM channels.
I've read it has 12 channels of DDR5.

Yep seems about the same single thread wise which is a bit weird since 7950x3d base clock is 4.2 whereas the 7995wx is 2.5.

Why? Extra RAM has no effect on most types of performance.

Single threaded tasks should never run at the base clock. The base clock can pretty much be thought of as the minimum clock speed you should see when all cores are maxed out and the thermal solution is only just meeting the spec.

They're testing CPU performance, not memory capacity. They need that much for the channels.

#10Playing around with 96x avx512 sounds fun
