https://www.techpowerup.com/272715/first-signs-of-amd-zen-3-vermeer-cpus-surface-ryzen-7-5800x-tested AMD is preparing to launch the new iteration of desktop CPUs based on the latest Zen 3 core, codenamed Vermeer. On October 8th, AMD will hold the presentation and again deliver the latest technological advancements to its desktop platform. The latest generation of CPUs will be branded as a part of 5000 series, bypassing the 4000 series naming scheme which should follow, given that the prior generation was labeled as 3000 series of processors. Nonetheless, AMD is going to bring a new Zen 3 core with its processors, which should bring modest IPC gains. It will be manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm+ manufacturing node, which offers a further improvement to power efficiency and transistor density. Today, we have gotten the first benchmark of AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 5800X CPU. Thanks to the popular hardware leaker, TUP APISAK, we have the first benchmark of the new Vermeer processor, compared to Intel's latest and greatest - Core i9-10900K. The AMD processor is an eight-core, sixteen threaded model compared to the 10C/20T Intel processor. While we do not know the final clocks of the AMD CPU, we could assume that the engineering sample was used and we could see an even higher performance. Below you can see the performance of the CPU and how it compares to Intel. By the numbers shown, we can expect AMD to possibly be a new gaming king, as the numbers are very close to Intel. The average batch result for the Ryzen 7 5800X was 59.3 FPS and when it comes to CPU frames it managed to score 133.6 FPS. Intel's best managed to average 60.3 FPS and 114.8 FPS from the CPU framerates. Both systems were tested with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2080 GPUs. If these tests are accurate then AMD may have closed the gaming gap between itself and Intel in my personal opinion. We'll have to wait until early October to see and hear more info.

That's quite an improvement. If Asus gives X470 support for Zen 3, i'll upgrade.

really interested in seeing what they accomplish. AMD has really been nipping at Intels heels and if they deliver what they claim they could finally fully catch up and maybe even start pulling ahead. Intel has been in complacency for too long

They are. AMD finally closed the IPC gap, guess I should buy a board & memory now before the hype (and prices) start going up on launch!

Do you feel it? The time has come to finally nein the nonbelievers, ye😼
T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G

Hopefully these rumors hold true. If they are Intel will be in a tough spot

I'm waiting to upgrade. I'm thinking this may be the release where AMD matches Intel in gaming.
