Biggest generational jump in performance in my CPU purchasing history (30 years)
I’ve owned Intel from 80386 (386) to 6700k Skylake, AMD Athlon 64, Ryzen 1700 and now I just upgraded to 3900x. What an amazing CPU, with the incredible jump in IPC performance, even Adobe Lightroom is faster, Lightroom(!), do you know how hard it is to move that glacier. I’ve heard some gripes about there not being much headroom for overclocking. I’ve overclocked every CPU in the past only because they left so much performance on the table. This CPU appears to do a great job of getting every bit of performance out of it that overclocking for a minute gains is not worth it to me. Its performance is monster straight out of the box, I think the early BIOS from the MB manufacturers are running the voltage a bit high on default settings. I tried setting it at 1.3v but it made a big drop on boost performance. I settled on leaving it on auto with an offset of -.1125 and I do not see a performance loss (Cinebench).
