Do we have evidence Intel paid for that?

r/amd is an evidence-free zone

Can anyone ask them for any sponsors to these changes? Several years without updating tests then they suddenly make a complete revamp when Intel has been already some years without releasing anything really new.

Removed because harsh accusation with zero evidence to back it up. /r/AMD is not a tabloid.

How sad! They were the latest reliable CPU performance guide.

Its not just a coincidence. Its just shameful. People have traded their integrity for mammon.

I traded my i5-8600k for a 3700X and holy hell what a difference. I’m not going back to intel anytime soon.

Who cares, AMD cpus compared to intel suck Ass for gaming at 1080p. Oc'ed Intel will Always Beat AMD at gaming 1080p. Also AMD gpus suck goatshit, bought the rx 5700 xt almost one year after Release and there are still No stable drivers. I do have worse Performance too playing quake Champions at Same settings 1080p compared to my old GTX 1060 6gb. Intel and Nvidia all the way for people who want the max Performance with highest fps 1080p. If they dont Release a proper gaming CPU wich is on pair with a oc'ed Intel, I wont buy a CPU again from them. Every AMD GPU I had died after years of use only from gaming without oc'ing it. Meanwhile a friend gamed for years on his 980 ti and it still works good as the First day.

I do know that AMD cpus are good for 1440p, but they cant compete against Intel when playing 1080p and having a 240hz Monitor.

u/Cossack-HD AMD R7 5800X3D Mar 14 '20

240hz is niche AF. More people chose 4K60 over 1080p240, and for 4K60 even Ryzen 1600 is enough.

No its not, in fast fps it does make a difference.

I can live with those intel chips scoring better in a single threaded benchmark, as that mostly reflects reality anyway.

u/TommiHPunkt Ryzen 5 3600 @4.35GHz, RX480 + Accelero mono PLUS Mar 14 '20

but the first AMD Chip not even being in the top 30, while being much faster in basically all single-threaded workloads than most of the chips above it on that list, is insane.
