its not clock speed only, IPC tests show that CFL has a 35% advantage outside of clock speed.
This is the first review out of a google search for CFL reviews
single core performance is higher by 20% right? So it looks like clock speed is giving them the advantage, but when we look at multi threaded performance, clock speed can't be the only thing that is helping Intel's 6 core part to keep up with AMD's 8 core parts. And we know AMD's SMT approach has advantages over Intel's multi threaded approach.
It just can't be.
And we just need to look back on reviews with equalized clocks of Skylake products vs Ryzen to see the IPC differences.
That doesn't really answer his point about clock speed is the 8700k clocked the same as an 1800x in a single threaded load?
How far can intel push their core architecture ? we've been sitting at 4.5-5Ghz since Sandy Bridge, and they just now reliably pushed past 5hz.
Maybe it was lack of competition ,or maybe they need to move onto something different to achieve higher speeds.
