Even this "biased" analyst agreed that the new AMD Zen actually is 2 percent faster (per clock) than the Intel chip it was tested against -- in the test that was run.
In effect, he's just saying the new Intel chip will be faster than the old Intel chip (to which I say -- no kidding). Moreover, he is "guessing" that AMD Zen will not improve between engineering and production (could be true).
And then, he writes an article -- as he is paid to do
Then, a writer known for his "smirky" style writes an article about the analyst's article -- as he is paid to do
Finally, I copy the smirky words over to SimHQ -- for the fun of it
As we all know, we'll find out the truth when the products are on the shelf and independently tested -- prior to that is rumor and guesswork (sometimes educated guesswork).
