    Especially given the performance gains that are rumored for Zen 5. It’s supposed to be even bigger than the performance gain from Zen 3 to Zen 4 when we got the 7000 series processors, rumored at a 30% increase.

    I’d be happy even if it was another 15% increase like the last generation, 30 would be insane if they actually hit that.

      Going to be honest, every time there is a new socket and new generation there is a lot of hype about it. People talking about ~30% performance uplifts, half power consumption, etc.

      Sometimes there are dramatic uplifts. The 3000 series were a substantial uplift from 2000 series. The 5800x3D really is a godlike chip that performs in games roughly the same as a 7600x, and sometimes beats it.

      But most of the time it’s a steady 5-7% uplift of IPC and 5-7% clock speed improvement, leading to about a 10-15% uplift over previous generation. Sometimes we get a surprise but it’s rare.

        Zen -> Zen 2: 15%

        Zen2 -> Zen3: 19%

        Zen3 -> Zen4: 14%

        AMD literally made double digit IPC gains for each architecture iteration
