Well if you believe the benchmarks it’s about a 2x gain in pure compute, but only about 1.5x in actual speed when you consider cache and other bottlenecks. The X3D is similarly 2x as fast but adds another 25% on top of that given better cache locality. The transistor size density delta of 14 to 4nm would make me expect more of a 3-4x raw speed difference.
Sure the increase isn’t as massive as it was but it is definetly a very noticeable increase in performance if you come fro m a 6700k but if you are running an Amd 5800 or an intel 12700, the performance increase is not worth the money.
