Sounds to me like drivers are being installed by a non administrator and permissions are borked. But that's just 30+ years of it experience. I could be wrong.Sounds like they're trying to find any performance excuse they can with these new processors.
Yeah I agree with you there. It just seems one thing after another with these new AMD processors that hinder performance is all I was pointing out. I haven't paid too much attention to them myself, but a lot of negative press out there.Sounds to me like drivers are being installed by a non administrator and permissions are borked.

Lackluster performance is at least somewhat related to Windows. Linux is seeing better numbers pretty much across the board. I'm talking about software which runs under both OSes and can be directly compared. This isn't a surprise to me as quite a bit of software over the years has shown to run better on Linux.Yeah I agree with you there.

Much of it has to do with people not understanding a few things. The 9000 series is more power efficient and better IPC. Any decent review should have pointed out that the 9000 series doesn't boost as high as the 7000 series when under a multi-core load and yet is able to meet or beat the 7000 series. If memory serves the clockspeed difference tends to be around 10% lower for the 9000 series. Yet most people don't understand that or refuse to take it into account. We know we've basically hit the limits of what they can do with silicon with regards to clockspeed and I suspect Zen 5 is a sort of soft reboot to address that.I think the negative press is being highlighted but from the technical perspective these seem really solid. And my gut tells me the new chipsets will really unlock them. Not sure why.
It's mostly due to the lwered TDP numbers, AMD is supposedly working on an update where they increase the base TDP from 65W to 105W which should improve their numbers somewhat, I seen benchmarks where they unlock PBO and they boost to 135W which get's good results, but is obviously bad for temps, the 105W seems to be a decent middleground.If memory serves the clockspeed difference tends to be around 10% lower for the 9000 series.
