Leaked AMD Ryzen 3000 IPC means Intel is about to lose any hold it once had over the gaming PC
We’re getting past the specs leaks for AMD’s Ryzen 3000 CPUs now and onto performance figures. That’s how you know we’re definitely getting close to launch. The new benchmark numbers are for the full-fat 16-core, 32-thread 3rd Gen Ryzen chip, showing the expectedly blistering multi-core performance, but it's the single-core pacing being promised which is exciting me more.
And arguably should be exciting PC gamers more too. The current processor coregasm AMD kicked off with its first generation of Ryzen CPUs is only gaining momentum. And the new chiplet design of the Zen 2 architecture means that we’re close to getting workstation-level multi-threading performance on our mainstream desktops. Though, realistically, that’s not going to make a whole lot of difference for gaming on AMD.
But the improved instructions per clock (IPC) performance will translate to a straight single-core performance uplift, and that will have a far greater impact on gaming with Ryzen 3000. Traditionally Intel has had the single core gaming lead, with AMD’s processors lagging behind on that count, but that's about to change...
