That would be great if that was the case. However you were probably mislead by the title - that IPC increase applies only to 9XXX beasts (Zen 5), not these two AM4 refreshes. At least that's how I understand it.

I was not in fact mislead. I actually went and found that article to help explain the concept of IPC uplift to you.

I was speaking of why new CPUs are a good thing worth being excited by in general. You were the one who said new CPUs aren’t worth being excited about in general.

As a bonus I showed how new CPUs even at the same speed have advantages. This all being said hey if you want to be a downer here go for it.

The new CPUs for AM4 socket. Aren't we talking about AM4 as per post title?

Edit: Probably I should have made it clearer...new new AM5 ones are of course welcome and cool.
