I was recently able to get a workload of mine optimized enough on Zen 5 to hit a sustained 6.0 IPC/core (3.0 / thread) at 5.1 GHz. Seeing the a > 99.8% branch prediction rate and a > 99.99% L2 cache hit rate retiring > 1T instructions every 3 seconds feels amazing.
Zen5 is incredible when you're able to make the most of it. I’m super excited about Zen6.
