IPC varies according to the specific task but Ryzen 1xxx and 2xxx have always had IPC on average comparable to Broadwell CPUs (excluding AVX workloads). So intel has had a slight lead there from Skylake onwards.

According to what we're seeing, the situation seems to be reversed with the 3xxx series, where AMD seems to have a small but significant lead; we'll have to wait for independent benchmarks.



Regardless who comes out ahead on the benchmarks, competition is always a good thing!


It kinda matters because AMD hasn't been able to outperform Intel at single threaded tasks for like 5+ years.

They aren't competition if they fall of the map. So a slightly edge would be great because it at least puts them back in the game.
