I wish they had used more drives, what a pathetically small sample size. Its quite shocking, literally one SATA drive and one PCI drive. Its shocking to me they turned such a tiny data set into an article.

Its risky to draw conclusions from such limited data but in this limited scope:

PCMark 8 gives us a very accurate representation of real-world performance. In terms of storage bandwidth, the Intel platform holds a 21% advantage over AMD.

Conclusion: Intel offers significantly better PCIe storage performance than AMD. However, it's not light years ahead as it has been in the past. Ryzen is very promising, and the difference between it and Intel isn't enough to cause us to be unwilling to recommend Ryzen as a storage platform.

that is a huge difference Looking at the way AMD performs in the results, I think this is another case suggesting latency existing in the pipeline. On the larger bulk data, Ryzen can make it up and even surpass intel.

The cores are really strong in Ryzen, its a huge feat. Not sure what is causing th latency or how they should go about fixing it, but its most likely in the design of the chip. Is it the type of cache or specific to the design, is it the decoding or pipeline?

I am starting to think that Ryzen has some extremely potent cores, high and strong ipc. But it suffers in task that suggest to me there is a heavy hit from latency which multiplies when there are a lot of new unknown task one after another
