So according to cpubenchmark.net, Ryzen's 1300x is identical in single-threaded performance to an equivalent Intel CPU, the i5 7500. Yet when Ryzen was released we learned that it performed worse in Dolphin compared to Intel's processors.
What accounts for this difference in performance, considering that clock-for-clock Ryzen is right on par with Intel in most other applications? Does it handle SSE4 or AVX2 instructions poorly? Is it a quirk of the Infinity Fabric? Memory performance? I don't know enough about CPUs to really grasp what the issue could be.
