The fastest Zen+ is 2950x at position 85, roughly as fast as Broadwell C, with score of 2230. Now 13% more would give it 2520, roughly matching Haswell 4790k (number 15).
So no, it's not likely going to lead every single metrics.
Lol Nice try and your calculus is 100% right for this benchmark under the assumption that only the zen ipc will increase (and new rumors say it could be higher).
7nm will allow higher frequencies too which should make the difference. If Intel still lead in single thread it would probably be negligible.
Yeah, but we know the AVX is going to be 256-bit, so if there is "higher IPC gain under certain workloads", that's completely expected. We might see a performance decrease under certain workloads as well due to the I/O chip. What's the point of picking a singular workload case and dance around it as if it were the case with any workload?
Btw, zen 2 will take the lead at every metrics.
