No, they unlikely aren't.

I know a bunch of people speculate completely out of their asses that that would be the reason Anandtech results are different to most others but that's likely the case because any serious tester would use the latest Windows update, BIOS and drivers.

You just claim that out of nothing. You shouldn't do that. You don't know that's the case. Just a bunch of idiots claim that like if it was the truth.

720p medium GTX 1080Ti:
BF1: 8700K 25% better avg. 19% better 1% low.
Witcher 3: 8700K 21% better avg. 14% better 1% low.
Fallout 4: 8700K 18% better avg. 17% better 1% low.
Total War: Warhammer II: 8700K 17% better avg. 19% better 1% low.
Farcry 5: 8700K: 17% better avg. 18% better 1% low.

Anandtech is investigating why their results are different. Their 8700K results for GTA V seem to be higher than their earlier ones so it don't seem to be an issue with this specific run and maybe ASUS Crosshair VII Hero with G.Skill SniperX 2933 MHz with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X simply run amazingly well. Or their results using 8700K is poor both now and before because they use only Crucial Ballistix 2666 MHz RAM and a Silverstone AR10-115XS cooler for the i7 8700K. Or some firmware or driver on the ASRock Z370 Gaming i7 board make it run bad.
I haven't compared the Anandtech results with similar machines with the same games and settings from some other reviewer so I can't tell if the Anandtech results are different from theirs.

If the memory kit AnandTech used for the 8700K is the Crucial Ballistix Sport then it don't seem to be on the QVL of the motherboard, they also used 4x8 GB there vs 2x8 GB on the Ryzen platform and four memory modules is more demanding for the memory controller so that combined with the motherboard in question may mean they have poor memory performance on the Intel system. They also use a 3U rackmount / small form factor CPU cooler which is just 79 mm high, 88 mm wide which use a 70 mm fan. Then again the Ryzen used the stock cooler so I guess it's completely fair to use a more simplistic cooler for the purpose and they spec what they use but it may not be perfect for the board.

The AMD board mean-while used G.Skill SniperX 2933 MHz and 2x8 GB of them instead.

Anyway the AnandTech result is an outliner. It's not the normal result. The normal result even with these stupidly run gaming benchmarks which may not be tuned for lowest GPU vs CPU load is that the Intel chip win. Sweclockers test use "medium" settings which may lower the demand on the CPU but most likely "definitely" lower the demand on the GPU resulting in more frames and a higher chance the CPU is the limiting factor. And there as you can see above in those games the 8700K is 17-25% faster which is more in line with what you could expect.

The IPC for non-AVX/FPU work-loads seem similar for the two chips but the typical 1 core turbo of the 8700K is 4.7 GHz where's the one thread turbo of the Ryzen 7 2700X seem to end up being 4.35 GHz, the all core turbo of the 8700K is 4.3 GHz whereas the all threads turbo of the Ryzen 7 2700X in some older review was 3.9 GHz but maybe it's closer to 4 GHz on X470? Regardless it's lower. Meaning lower performance / core. Also Intel have 256 bit FPUs vs the 128 bit ones on the Ryzen plus Intel still have a bit lower memory latency for whatever difference that make. The latencies to difference caches and for sharing data between cores varies so that become hard to compare.
In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
which is great because it show GPU load too you can see that GPU utilization isn't at 100% meaning the CPU is the one holding the performance of these games back but you can also see that the CPU utilization is very low meaning lots of threads / cores are unutilized and performance like are held back by t

Dear Team Creimer,

I just noticed that the Humpty-Dumpty video has ~375 millions views, that should make you salivate!

I have plenty of ideas to make the views on your own youtube channel skyrocket but you didn't contact me yet. Is it because I am a lady? Ethell says that you are sexist but I hope it isn't true.

Anyway, I will give you a free hint anyway: Dress-up as Humpty in your videos, you shouldn't need that much makeup making this a money saving situation in your own case.

My YouTube channel has 222K subscribers and many videos with hundreds of thousands of views:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Now, with some slight adjustments, I think that together, we could make the view count skyrocket on your very own Team Creimer youtube channel :)

Please feel confident to contact me if you want me to coach you, we aren't living so far away from each other so we could even easily meet.

Love XX,

On the other side of that...
If you are forced to talk to a bot at an interview - might as well keep on looking for a job.

Cause a company won't use a bot on account of a "more just" hiring process.
They'll use a bot cause it is cheaper and more efficient to buy or rent a software tool than to hire another human tool.
Which is what they are looking for. Disposable tools, needed to solve their current problem. Not employees.
They want things, not people.

Also, it indicates that the company is held afloat on bullshit and buzzwords.
Cause it's clearly not running on the strength of its teams - or someone running a team or working in a team would be interviewing you, to see how you fit into their team.
Unless the teams and the company are also run by chatbots. In which case at least the daily meetings would be more productive.

I don't see how UBI would alter this situation: yes everyone would have a fixed, base income, but garbage collection would still be low-skill, and patent litigation would still be high-skill. If anyone wanted more than their UBI, they would need to pursue work, and low-skill work would still be the easiest entry point. All UBI would do is remove the people who just don't want to do anything at all, and are content with a basic income, from the worker pool, which, if UBI advocates are to be believed, would be a minimal amount of people. It wouldn't have any impact on the disparity between pay scales between low and high-skilled labor.

What generally happens when people get a UBI, is that they start doing things they like, which in many cases involves starting their own business. They get that possibility because they don't have to fear that it will not be economically profitable, or not sufficiently profitable in a short enough time frame. Additionally, those people can also train/retrain much more easily since they don't have to do it while holding another job.

Which prompted me to observe:

It's not UnknownSoldier who's being racist here, you nimwit. You are the one who's claiming that non-white people are "less intelligent than average."

UnknownSoldier's disinterest in the opinions of stupid people makes no distinction that I can see regarding race. In my own experience, idiots come in all colors, all sexual persuasions, all ethnicities, all religions. You are the one who is saying, in effect, that prejudice against dimwits is somehow equivalent to being prejudiced against a particular race or group of races.

It's not.

But saying - even by implication - that white people aren't stupid, so not wanting to hear from dumbasses must automagically mean you're prejudiced against black people (or asians, or Hispanics, or American Indians, or anyone other than white folks) IS as blatantly racist as it's possible to be without physically waving a Confederate flag and chanting "You will not replace us!"

That, in turn, motivated DNS-and-BIND to reply:

Any policy which has a disparate impact on marginalized communities is racist. Calling blacks stupid and saying that they hate all stupid people equally is a common tactic used by racists. It needs to be called out wherever it appears.

How would it be bad to replace white people with brown immigrants? The whites are racist as hell. "Look, to be totally honest, if things are so bad as you say with the white working class, don't you want to get new Americans in?" This is a pretty mainstream view among Establishment types and their allies. You don't agree?

I don't give a fuck about the "mainstream view" of the Establishment. Likewise, I could not possibly care less about the mainstream view of the anti-Establishment. My interest is in individuals, not affinity groups, clubs, associations, fraternal organizations, religions, "movements" or other granfalloons.

It's a universal ploy on the part of people, like yourself, who clutch at any excuse to exercise their propensity for judgementalism, to label every person with a distaste for conversing with idiots as "racist", so that you can delegitimize their preference not to waste their time and effort throwing intellectual pearls before imbecilic swine - and wrap yourself in the undeserved flag of righteousness in the process.

In my experience, intelligent, thoughtful people understand that time is the most precious commodity any human possesses - more valuable, by far, than wealth, power, fame, or a complete set of new-in-box Star Wars figurines. That's because we each get only so much of it. When that's exhausted, that's it. We cannot buy, borrow, manufacture, or inherit more. So, permitting people who are either inherently incapable of participating in intellectual discourse, or who are actually proud and jealously defensive of their ignorance and ineducablitly, to waste our constantly-dwindling supply of time constitutes for us (because I count myself in that number) an inexcusable squandering of that irreplaceable resource. It's not a badge of tolerance, it's a display of irresponsibility and ingratitude - and it is and should be a mark of shame.

To maintain, as you obviously do, that, because some racists twist that prejudice against wasting time arguing with our intellectual inferiors into a defense of actual bigotry, the rest of us are also somehow bigots, as well, is complete and utter bullshit. More precisely, it's a claim of guilt by INVOLUNTARY association - and I, for one, reject it as absolutely false and defamatory.
