Intel Celeron G5900 + Pentium Gold G6400 Benchmarks - Low-Price Comet Lake CPUs

Great article. I first gave it a tip, THEN it made me subscribe. Keep the great work!

To be fair, it's not all that bad for 2c/2t|4t CPUs, but segmentation in instructuin sets etc., and price... (not counting platform price). Those CPUs will be very usable for at least few years from now if not much more.

If you can find a Ryzen 1200 AF or 1600 AF part for MSRP, it will blow out the value scale. The 1600 AF can lead the 3300X in performance in a few cases. Availability and pricing are reported to have wild swings based on where on the planet you are, but it might be worth having a look.

Well, there's something about physics limitation. Maybe when we can somehow accelerate creating PC using carbon or organic, then, maybe, there's the jump that you seek.

Not true. AMD has provided significant speedups for the same price. Intel hasn't. It's pretty obvious if you look at the released products and stock between 2017-2020, or who had to go through some major leadership reorganization just few days ago.

Exactly this. It's been completely underwhelming. The only scarier thought is if it hadn't been for AMD, then progress would've been even slower.

Yep. I'm quite certain that the premium i7's still has 4C8T now if not for AMD.

It's scary how slow progress was in last 9 years.

In 2012 my pc's mb died and had to replace pc. In seven years there was jump from pentium IV prescott to i5 ivy bridge. But now...

Typo:

showed to be a better bet all around than the chaper Celeron G5900

Poor, file under crap.

It would have been nice to see some tests that point out the segmentation Intel puts into these processors--lack of AVX, etc. Do they still segregate off AESNI? That might be a good thing to test.
