Because your distorted memory and need to shill and always be right is making you misremember what was said to suit your prejudices.
No one said that 12 and maybe even 16 core Ryzens werent coming.
We said they werent going to be R5s and R7s. And we were right.
No said IPC wasnât going to go up. We all agreed it would. The main thing is, does clock speed go up too? We dont really know yet.
All we have is AMDâs keynote⌠and their Ryzen 2 keynote promised performance gains that never materialized once actual reviews game in.
So far, absolutely nothing you posted contradicts what most of us said.
We all agreed that it was very possible 12 and 16 core variants were coming. We just disagreed with all the shills like you who insisted that they were going to be 12 core R5s for the price of a 2600.
And we were right.
Im not really sure what you expect to change in regards to CPU recommendations. Most of us have been recommending Ryzen at anything below the 9600, 9700, or 9900Ks, and only recommending the 9600K for people who are legit only gaming/dont need HT but want max game performance. After AMD cut Ryzen prices down to almost-no-actual-profit-margin prices, they supplanted most Intel offerings easily. They dont perform as well, but they perform very well, and are cheaper.
And before you trot out the tired as all crap âbut muh threadzâ garbage - Jay just did a video about disabling HT.
Game performance didnât even change. SMT and HT dont affect gaming performance much at all. The only benefit is they allow you to do a lot of stuff in the background that doesnât require heavy CPU usage without impacting your gaming⌠that, lets be honest, most people arenât doing. A couple dozen Chrome tabs, Netflix, and Discord dont exactly punish a CPU.
So⌠yeah. Other than you showing off your drooling shilldom, im not really sure what youâre getting at with this thread.
This is⌠right in line with what everyone who had reasonable expectations believed would come.
