phrasing is odd. 25% lower clock speed isnt “far below”
but also fuck nvidia
I don't think it should even be comparable between totally different architectures.
Yeah, we've been through this exact same game with multiple iterations of Intel and AMD chips. When AMD first started doing consumer CPUs they badged them according to their equivalent Intel clock speed because one to one comparisons were misleading.
What's the L1 and L2 cache? What are the bus speeds? How many cores and how are they architectured? Multi-threading? How many steps is the instruction cycle? There are so many factors beyond just clock speed that play into real world performance.
I can't believe people still look at Hz and think it's a sole metric that can be used for performance.
Do you think they look at the 2005 Pentium 4's 3.8GHz and assume it's only slightly worse than what Nvidia will put on the market?
You willing to take a 25% pay cut? Yeah that’s hella far. Especially when you’re up in the GHz range.
AHEM! AKTCHEWALEE..... it's 20% which is even less qualified to be "far below" the other two.
Thanks! Thats more accurate
No worries bud! The wording is still ridiculous...and also fuck Nvidia 😒🖕
