Despite IntelвЂ™s price / performance lead, AMDвЂ™s prolific marketers (forums, youtube, reddit etc.) have historically outsold Intel whilst carrying a similar handicap. AMDвЂ™s top value hex-core Ryzen 5 5600X offers similar performance for 50% more money. The 12400F offers great value, but to achieve optimal performance the requisite B660 motherboard (which supports 3200+ RAM) is, at least for now, difficult to find at reasonable ($150 USD) prices. Whilst IntelвЂ™s overclockable i5-12600K has four additional efficiency cores and offers around 12% more performance than the 12400F, it also costs around 50% more. The F-version of the CPU does not have integrated graphics, however this will be of little concern to gamers with discrete GPUs. It has a boost frequency of 4.4 GHz, 18 MB of е…ѓ cache and a TDP of 65W.

This represents excellent value for consumers and, in particular, gamers.

IntelвЂ™s Alder Lake i5-12400F offers six hyper-threaded performance cores at an MSRP of just $180 USD. Users with an existing AM4 build should wait a few more months for better performance with Raptor Lake or even Zen4 rather than wasting money on an end-of-life platform.

New high end PC gaming builders have little reason to look further than the 12600K. In order to compete, Zen4 needs to bring substantial IPC improvements, rather than overpriced '3D' marketing gimmicks.

The same tactics were used with the Radeon 5000 series GPUs. Instead of focusing on real-world performance, they attempt to dupe consumers with benchmark busting headlines. AMDвЂ™s marketers continue to show more interest in this yearвЂ™s bonuses than the longevity of the brand. Also watch out for AMDвЂ™s army of Neanderthal social media accounts on reddit, forums and youtube, they will be singing their own praises as usual. Be wary of sponsored reviews with cherry picked games that showcase the wins and ignore the losses. Some specific cache sensitive scenarios such as canned game benchmarks with a 3090-Ti will benefit. Either way, for most real-world tasks performance is comparable to the significantly cheaper 5800X. An unusually high proportion of early 5800X3D samples appear unable to boost above base clock, upcoming BIOS updates may fix this. This results in relatively low latency at 128MB because those transfers have a higher chance of remaining in cache. Baseline compares present performance of application with its own previous performance where as benchmark compares our application performance with other companies application's performance.The 5800X3D has the same core architecture / IPC as the 5800X but it runs at lower clock speeds and has an extra 64MB of cache (96MB up from 32MB). Baseline testing use the information collected to made the change in the application to improve performance and capabilities of the application whereas benchmark information where our application stands with respect to others. Interview Question : What is the difference between baseline and benchmark testing?ДЄnswer : Baseline testing is the process of running a set of tests to capture performance information whereas Benchmarking is the process of comparing application performance with respect to industry standard that is given by some other organization.
