HotHardware.comAs I spoke with many of my colleagues, both analysts and press media, it was clear that universally everyone was seeing the same lower performance metrics for AMD Ryzen chips. When game benchmarks were dialed back to 1920X1080 resolutions (1080p), Ryzen was uncharacteristically slower than its Intel counterparts, sometimes by as much as 30% - 40%. Dr. Su went on to note that she expects 1080p performance with Ryzen will see measurable gains down the road and in future iterations of Zen2 and Zen3. It will take some time for game patches, BIOS and CPU microcode updates to roll out that could very well further optimize Ryzen performance across a number of metrics, including 1080p gaming. However, since much of the tech media and developer community has only had Ryzen in their hands for about a week, it seems way too early to say definitively that what we're seeing of AMD Ryzen performance right now is representative of its full capabilities.
