Anyone seen this? Amd zen vs intel 6900k

https://youtu.be/Hr-5NM6cO8g

Now it is from an amd press conf but holy shitz if it performs like that when it launches with a cheap price tag. They are both running at the same clock speeds too @_@

I would love it to be true, for the sake of having healthy competition, but I'll wait until reviews before getting hyped for it.

Still, there are two things worth mentioning:

1-It's good that AMD has matched Intel's ipc (more than good, it's a miracle), but Intel's i7-6900K runs at 3.2/4.0 GHz, so it will still be faster.

2-The i7-6900K is rated at 140W. The 8-core/16-thread Zen CPU is rated at 95W.

Yeaa! Please be true T_T If zen costs $400 with that level of performance, would fap all the way to ncix to buy it. But it will depend on how it actually does once it comed out.

Here is Anandtech on a more in depth look:
