And yet one is not limited to reading just this article. I did, ya know, watch the event.
Tell me how did they exactly exaggerate the fact on this? You can literally go and download the blender demo right from AMD's website and do it on your own computer. It's kind of hard to exaggerate when everyone can see the settings they used, and render the exact same thing on their current CPU to compare it to Zen.
"We shall see if this is another "RX 480 X-fire desroys a GTX 1080" scenario""
You are the one exaggerating that one. They had two RX 480s beating a 1080. Show me in the AMD marketing material where it said anything akin to what you said. By the way, that is a hell of alot better than Intel comparing its new CPUs to ones two generations old or Nvidia showing an insane performance jump with pascal and then in tiny letters "in certain games using VR". But yeah, let's pull up something AMD never said and complain about them. AMD does have a history of exaggeration, that we know. I'm basing what I said above on the facts given during the AMD presentation. 3.4 base clock on their engineering samples, dynamic turbo, SMT, Lower power draw (they had an OSD showing both the Intel and AMD power draw during the whole presentation), ect.
"... don't get that tattoo just yet."
A tattoo of what? Internet troll number 1M 307T 102 that comes into a article and assumes that other people could not possibly know more than what the article is and casts shade instead of looking the information up?
