Ryzen’s IPC and Multi Threading – Can it be THIS good?!

2017-02-18
there's a leak slide that got spammed to me in the last 12 hours and it involves two photos of what looks like the six core 12 threaded and rising 1600 x at roughly 3.5 6 gigahertz then another slide showing us cpu-z benchmark score now before we get into this video I will say that this is strictly theorycrafting so the calculations I make here today in this video will be based on the assumption that these photos are correct of course they could be faked which would make this video completely null and void though they do actually look the JIT and let's take a look at why I think aim DS new architecture could be either within arm's reach of Intel's latest IPCC on cabbie Lake or possibly even better than the first type we see here shows the CPU that has six cores and 12 threads which means that AMD will be taking advantage of a technology called simultaneous multi-threading the same thing that Intel uses with their xeon i 3i seven and now pentium desktop CPUs under the label hyper threading it essentially splits the physical core into two logical cores and allows more of that physical core to then be utilized by the set application in this cpu-z benchmark photo we get a glimpse of AMD six core 1600 X actually possibly having more efficient SMT technology and we calculate this by relating my i7 7700 K clocked at 5.1 gigahertz to this same benchmark where we can see that this total score of eleven thousand and seventy eight divided by the single threaded score gives us a total score of roughly four point three two now divide that by a further eight we get a score of roughly zero point five four and that is how much each thread is processing relative to a single thread in other words the higher this score the more efficient the multi-threading is now when we cast this same calculation for the 1600 X we then get a score of six point six for dividing that by 12 gives us 0.55 which is slightly higher than intel's i7 7700 k and also for good measure I will quickly throw in the results of my i7 6800 k clocked at four point one gigahertz which scored zero point five one - the 7700 K so SMT on AMD side is already looking to be very impressive now comes the best part the IPC aka instructions per cycle or zeros and ones process per one unit of Hertz when we look at this single threaded score we do see a score of eighteen hundred and eighty eight which is slightly lower than my i7 6800 k Broadwell each chip which scored nineteen hundred and seventy six however relating to the other picture we can see that the clock speed is only at three point five six gigahertz so calculating some math here gives us an IPC that would actually be better than Intel's cabbie Lake architecture that is the i7 7700 K by roughly five point five percent if the single threaded benchmark was performed at this speed however since it is a 1600 X and AMD themselves have confirmed that these X CPUs do indeed turbo-boost themselves given the right cooling especially when single threaded benchmarks are performed it is then safe to assume that even at a worst case scenario clock speed of say four point two gigahertz it would put this CPU roughly only ten point six percent behind Intel's latest architecture in terms of IPC or at worst intel's campbell lake architecture is eleven point eight percent faster whichever way you want to look at it which given the room at price of the six core twelve threaded 1600 x from AMD makes this cpu easily one of the best value for money CPUs that will hit the market in 2017 furthermore if the single threaded performance does indeed boost higher than the multi-threaded clock speeds then our previous estimate of how well am these multi threading technology scales is again a worst-case scenario and that was compared against an Intel CPU that had the same clock speeds across all caused which means that the multi-threaded performance could be all the way from better to much better than Intel's though again this is all theory crafting but in my opinion it is the most exciting and relative pre-release benchmark leak we have seen thus far one thing for certain is that I will have benchmarks and tests ready for you guys though honestly I think this is one rumor that is starting to carry a lot of good weight to it and hopefully it is going to be a very impressive CPU lineup from AMD in 2017 you know guys if you enjoyed this video then be sure to leave a like and if you dislike the video then be sure to slam that dislike button and let me know in the comments section below will you be getting a rising CPU and motherboard combo if so what combo will you be going for I'm bursting forward to the B 356 called combo I think that's gonna just absolutely kick ass anyway guys I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
