#AMD #Ryzen9000 vs. #Intel #CoreUltra #ArrowLake On #Linux For Q1-2025 In ~400 Benchmarks
In cases where #AVX512 can be utilized, the Ryzen 9000 series is the definitive winner over the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 desktop processors. In some HPC applications the Core Ultra 9 285K with 24 physical cores does well in scenarios where SMP isn't leveraged.
Overall the #Zen5 based #Ryzen9 #9950X straight-up won 50% of the time with a first place finish.

Let's get into the #RyzenAI HX 390 MAX rabbit hole for a moment.

Which is the cheaper model that has been announced?

I'll tell you. The #FrameworkDesktop Motherboard at $800 with (soldered) 32GB LPDDR5. Not a consumer-oriented product.

So yeah, the bulk of consumers will pick an RTX computer or a Mac.

From my perspective, the #RyzenAI HX 390 MAX series has a very bad value proposition over $1,000.

- For #Gaming, you have RTX 4060M **LAPTOPS** at $800 with a decent CPU.
- For #AI, you can make a good PC for $1,500.
- For battery life, there is a thing called a MacBook.

That's probably why they're not being pushed to the market so hard. Pricing wise, it doesn't make sense.

Kudos to AMD and HP for making Strix Halo dead on arrival

Your are better served with an RTX laptop or a MacBook Pro M4, both available today. This ain’t it, chief.

Healthy Competition With #GCC15 vs. #LLVM #Clang20 Performance On #AMD #Zen5
With some codebases/workloads there can be strong advantages at time for one compiler over the other, but at a high level the #GCC and Clang #compiler performance is extremely tight with recent versions and on modern #x86_64 hardware.

SMT Remains Very Advantageous For #Zen5 #AMD #EPYC Performance
#SMT typically was of measurable benefit to the 5th Gen AMD EPYC processor with the exception of some #HPC workloads that perform better with SMT disabled or otherwise limited by memory bandwidth. SMT also hurt the OpenVINO inference latency but by and large Simultaneous Multi-Threading remains an important and valuable feature for AMD processors.

#Framework Desktop:

- $1,099 - Max 385 (8c/16t + 32c iGPU) 32GB
- $1,599 - Max+ 395 (16c/32t + 40c iGPU) 64GB
- $1,999 - Max+ 395 (16c/32t + 40c iGPU) 128GB

No SSD. No OS. No CPU Fan. No Expansion Card.

Yeah, thanks but no thanks. By the time these ship in Q3 2025 (July-September) you will have competitive laptops with #StrixHalo and an #RTX on shelves, and the #MacStudio.

Not here to bash the #Radeon 8060, but it trades blows with an 2023 laptop with an #RTX 4060, and tanks with #RayTracing.

The Max+ 395, aside from the bad name, it's not a bad chip. The problem? Until it doesn't hit below $1,000, an RTX will be better.

Nothing new from the #AMD Graphics division. They always set the price wrong.

Ein neuer Leak nennt jetzt ein Datum für den #Verkaufsstart des #Ryzen 9 #9950X3D und des #9900X3D. Die #Zen5-#CPUs von #AMD zeigen in einem #Benchmark zudem klare Leistungszuwächse. https://winfuture.de/news,149008.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

The good about the Ryzen 395+ Max? The GPU slaps harder than a truck to the face. RTX 4070 Mobile level of performance.

The bad?
- #AI is still NVIDIA and Apple turf.
- MacBook still reigns on Battery Life

The ugly?
- On a $2,300 laptop.

This ain't it Chief.
