      The impressive part is that it has IPC on par with Raptor Cove, what’s holding it to Skylake performance is the low max clocks.

      It literally has higher IPC than Zen4, which is an impressive showing for Loongson. I’m guessing it’s a very wide design that has to stay at low clocks because it is hampered by the relatively ancient 14nm process it’s manufactured on.

      You’ve gotta give credit where credit is due.

        Nothing is impressive until there’s 3rd party testing. Wouldn’t be the first time a company made big claims only for the arch to shit the bed in other workloads.

        But isn’t that in only one single benchmark that they’ve shown? I’d wait for a range of benchmarks before judging it, power efficiency could also be a huge factor too.

        Comparing a 6700K to a 10100 you’ll have at best a 10% increase, and most of the time they are roughly even. If you can OC your 6700K 10% which isn’t difficult you’ll likely beat it in every situation.

          Are we speaking IPC or IPS here? Since IPC (also I/C → Instructions per (Clock-) Circle) doesn’t change depending on the clock-speed. Meanwhile IPS (also I/S → Instructions per Second) increases the higher the clocks (basically IPC×time).

        they are all basically skylake, just with some more cache(but not the type of increase that amd’s 3d cache has for example) and out of the box over clocking.
