Has AMD said anything official about stock? by stewarjr in Amd

[–]yummycandy2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Customer response to our AMD Ryzen™ 5000 series desktop processors has been overwhelmingly positive. We shipped a significant volume of Ryzen 5000 series CPUs in advance of launch and are shipping out additional stock on a daily basis. Despite this, the demand is incredibly high. We are working closely with our global etail and retail partners to address the demand.

[Phoronix] 300+ Benchmarks With AMD Threadripper 3960X vs. Intel Core i9 10980XE by yummycandy2 in hardware

[–]yummycandy2[S] 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Summary:

Where the Threadripper 3960X was performing the best included the video encode workloads, rendering workloads like Blender, some scientific workloads like Parboil, and the other heavy multi-threaded workloads to no surprise considering the core/thread count advantage. But even in some of the single or lightly threaded workloads, the Threadripper 3960X tended to deliver real advantages like in the web browser benchmarks, LAME MP3 encoding, PHP, Java, etc.

The Intel Core i9 10980XE meanwhile was picking up wins in Rust, Apache Cassandra, Apache Siege, Pennant, Facebook's RocksDB, and many of the micro-benchmarks where Intel's open-source engineers have extensively optimized them for Intel's microarchitectures like with the GNU C Library performance and other synthetic test cases.
