Yesterday we updated our Finalwire download with a v6.00 revision for AIDA64, which includes some major enhancements. Included are revised benchmarks and stability tests for AMD's upcoming Zen 2 pro... AIDA64: Update v6.00 brings Ryzen 3000 specific benchmarks
I like that they seemed to include a stability test for Zen2 CPUs, but I am not sure if there's a need for a vendor specific benchmark... unable to be compared to Intel, AMD's competitor.
the benchmark could measure things that intel does not have. latency between chiplets or whatever. It does not have to be power measurement or a speed index of some sort for all the cpu. Also consider this is pretty normal considering not all cpus have same instruction sets, avx, avx2, sse4.1 and sse4.
Feiry does ASM level optimizations for each cpu, so in all fairness, aida's benchmarks are only valid between the same generation of cpu's.
If you want ideal performance, thats pretty much true for every CPU - especially those that change their SIMD behavior. And in the case of Zen2, they are expanding their AVX/AVX2 SIMD to operate on full 256-bit, like Intel, instead of the 128-bit engine that Zen/Zen+ had.
they should explain more clearly is about the benchmark imho or probably better just say adding support for zen2 custom benchmark for specific cpu/soc will (most of time) make the score "pretty" but often not real (in-real-usage), i mean its tweaked/optimized in the way CPU work so yeah the test in "optimal-condition" so its like only valid if we compare to other Zen 2 rather than benchmark test comparing to all available cpu
