Ryzen 8950X Zen 5 CPU Benchmark Scores Allegedly Break Cover And They're Really Good

[Mr. Bluntman]

I'm just happy when every AMD next-gen CPU gets released and it's not another Bulldozer fiasco.

Or with all the problems surrounding the original Phenom launch...

Just like with FX; too little, too late. 65nm was too ambitious for a monolithic die for Barcelona, and the lack of L3 cache didn't help (I think it had 2MB), either. It was hot, slow, and late. Faildozer on the other hand couldn't compete with what came before it... Backwards in this industry is not a direction you want to go.

So yeah, 100% with you on that one, bud...
