Games are optimized for hyperthreading, not SMT.
Cooper Price
It seems quite obvious that there are a ton of firmware bugs and issues in play. SMT shouldn't be outright lowering performance. At worst it should do absolutely nothing. Things should improve with motherboard firmware updates in time.
Ethan Howard
You are wrong.
Ryzen has a lot of cores, so it's good for workstations.
David Brown
>Intel CPUs are optimized for gaming, not AMD.
FTFY
Grayson Bailey
but they said it at the presentation that ryzen is good at gaming, hell they even presented comparisons where the amd is faster
you totally forgot about that part didn't you?
Zachary Smith
You just abstracted up a few levels and said the same thing basically.
Robert Howard
Yes, they displayed it on 4k with Vulkan/DX 12 games that are better for high core counts.
Ryzen will lose every time to intel at 1080p.
Levi Cox
SMT and HT is a same shit with different name. Now go back to
Jace Phillips
a) no
b) they're the same fucking thing
c) HT is actually not great for performance since because of all the context switches. Doing high performance computing with HT scales worse than just more cores.
Jose Jenkins
What makes you think I didn't know it was the same thing? That's the point.
Nicholas Miller
actually it is good if you look at the frametimes
computerbase.de
games will feel smoother on ryzen than on intel CPUs
Robert Mitchell
PS: They will also lose to Intel at 1440p and 4K once we get GPUs that can run 4k at 144Hz.
RESOLUTION HAS NO IMPACT ON CPU USAGE.
Ryzen only looks better in 1440p/4K because of GPU limitations. It's only going to be worse in future. Ryzen is literally DOA.

>good as skylake i5
quite an achievement AMD
Owen Ramirez
Because "HT" is a Simultaneous multithreading!
Aiden Cook
it fails against [OC[ i5-6600k or 6700k
and power consumption / temperatures ratio is just, ugh, typically bad for AMD
my 6600k stays at 42°C at 4.4GHz and is superbly efficient
Dylan Lewis
Further proof that the i5 4690k is the best CPU for its price. If you're not waiting for Intel to respond to Ryzen so you can cop a 4690k you're doing it wrong.
Anthony James
AMD FAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH LMFAOOOOo
Thomas Baker
Jason Cox
It is the games that are optimized for Intel CPUs, not the other way around.
Chase Miller
Those results are really good, better than the 4690K bear in mind it's an 8 core CPU and consider the single thread performance leap
Some people have work to do before the buying an 8 core for gaming meme, besides hyperthreading isn't meant at all for games, should be disabled ideally. Most games without multithreaded processing time and that are more real time show that the best hyperthreading can do is match non-hyperthreaded and most of the time it performs worse, not better.

>dat silky smooth frames
holy shit
