Seems to be roughly in line with https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/129945/... in some benchmarks as per the article

Some Reddit searching suggests a geekbench score comparable with a FX-8100

It's also worth saying that these comparisons can be overly favourable as (from the architectural design perspective) you can effectively get some performance for free from the roughly 4 process doublings in between this and the Bulldozer.

Only one process doubling. This is 16nm and Bulldozer was 32nm.

Its obviously still quite a bit behind architecturally, though.

Density has gone from about 7.5 on GF to 28 on TSMC if I read correctly.

Ah, so around 1.9 doublings. Seems like I was wrong :)
