Wow .. so this is the power .. of Intel's mesh architecture.

Comically shit latency between literally every core!

Haha what the fuck. It's actually worse than the bingbus.

why does Ryzen go to shit after the 7th core?

nvm read it
>The AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor has a significant jump at the half point, where the threads move to another CCX, making them dependent on the L3 cache for communication. This puts the 7900X in an interesting spot; it has a dramatically higher latency to the LLC versus the previous generation Intel processors.

So with Ryzen, if you need to run an application which needs low latency, you can optimize it to run on a single CCX, where latency is as low as a 7700k.
But with the MeshBingBus, you can't even do that! All threads have equally horrendous latency.
On that note, do we have games tested on Ryzen where an entire CCX is disabled?

This is a few months old now, take it with a grain of salt. https://youtu.be/Rhj6CvBnwNk

Interesting.
I guess we'll know the real picture once we get Raven Ridge for desktop.
