https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/the-zen-5-ga... looks pretty good to me, for everyday & gaming workloads.

The avx512 is a monster, if you can use it.

Power efficiency & scaling is also very nicely improved.

Intel's Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake aren't monster desktop cores but they bring Intel from way way way behind in power efficiency to pretty good. And the new iGPU is far better than anyone expected, and their drivers team just dropped another huge performance win last week.

I'm very impressed. AMD's server lineup is much more full top to bottom this time around too, and the cores & their io are absolutely well epic (epic joke).
