No. That's precisely the opposite of what I reference at CPU World. That's my go-to reference for comparing
architecture, not
benchmarks. For comparing benchmarks there is simply no longer any peer to
UserBenchmark. In fact, in general, UserBenchmark meteorically rose to obviate all other comparison services (R.I.P. CPU Boss) for benchmarks. I'm most excited to finally have a practical, comprehensive reference to RAM performance. That only took...20 years.
That's not what these spec sheets are about. These are about comparing actual hardware: Cores, Hyperthreading, Frequencies, L1/L2/L3 Cache, TDP, instruction sets, and memory controller information. Hardware will tell you general truths allowing for estimations that can't be deceived if you learn how to understand and read these blueprints.
Certainly, we won't know what the per-GHz IPC gains are for this new Zen architecture until we see real-world tests, but that doesn't obfuscate the truths we can draw from detailed hardware side-by-sides.
