Phoronix: AMD Ryzen 7000/8000 Series vs. 14th Gen Intel Core CPU Performance On Linux 6.10 With 400+ Benchmarks

In preparation for upcoming CPU launches I have been spending the past month re-testing the various Intel Core and AMD Ryzen current generation processors on the very latest Linux software stack and latest system BIOS along with some updated and new benchmarks. For those wanting a fresh look at how the current AMD Ryzen 7000 and 8000 series processors are competing with 14th Gen Intel Core (Raptor Lake Refresh) processors, this article is for you with 18 processors and 443 benchmarks being carried out while using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and upgrading to the Linux 6.10 development kernel.

Userbenchmark's faked results should be criminal

Glad there's people like Michael doing real benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen Zen 4 desktop processors continue offering great advantages in CPU-based AI workloads thanks to having AVX-512.

This is why Intel needs to get its act together with AVX10 on consumer chips. The AVX-512 instructions that it pioneered do it no good outside of servers when only AMD is putting the instructions on consumer chips.

Isn't it pointless? Intel could just offload it all to the "powerful" NPUs in future consumer chips for most end user "generative AI" use-cases.

NPUs are certainly nice and have good use cases, but they are not a replacement for real CPUs with powerful vector processing. If they were, then when AMD launched Bulldozer with a side-order of "HSA" (that nobody ever used) then Bulldozer would have dominated the market...

If you think about it, its a bit of a crazy world we live in. No one would have believed such results 6 or more so years ago, how much have the tables turned where AMD is now the performance king outside of some very specific scenarios.

I guess...AI is a big enough thing that the industry is pushing forward for software support for accelerators this time around. But yeah, it's a bad look for Intel to have no AVX-512 in consumer.

A power consumption graph would be nice.

A power consumption graph would be nice.

FTA: "Unfortunately no CPU power consumption numbers in this article due to uncovering a CPU PowerCap reporting regression currently being analyzed."

I'll ask, Is this with the default OC profile that intel somehow didn't know was the default on mothers board or is it with Intel's base line ?
