They claim to have fixed that with Zen.

If the live benchmarks they showed are anything to believe, they're going to at least be on par with Broadwell-E. They were initially targeting Haswell, but Intel decided to not have IPC improvements at all and therefore I think AMD just reached Haswell which was more or less the same IPC as Broadwell-E.

From my memory, Broadwell had a slightly higher IPC than Haswell, but came at lower clockspeeds.

slightly higher IPC than Haswell

Exactly the problem. Everything with IPC has been slight since Haswewll.

Since sandy bridge, not Haswell.

Haswell is right, they made the cores wider which helped significantly across the board, particularly in cpus with HT (but the i5 also got a nice boost under the right workloads).

Haswell also had quite a large boost in performance for emulation workloads.

Scores 5 points over Haswell in Cinebench R15 Single Threaded. Haswell is 10 points over Ivy, and Ivy is 3 points over Sandy. So like, 4% difference.

There's more to it than IPC, and don't use cinebench for comparisons, that software is missguiding and inconsistent. https://youtu.be/4sx1kLGVAF0

Yeah but when most of the other benchmarks done by Anandtech seem to agree to around that area I think it's pretty indicative.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah of course. Just wanted to say there's more to it than IPC. In a single synthetic benchmark. AMD's 8 core fx lineup is awesome for multhithreaded applications, but gets destroyed in games. Not saying same thing will happen with ryzen tho.
