A photo online was leaked regarding Intel's Core i9-10900 Comet Lake processor, and it looks like AMD Ryzen 9 3900X has nothing to worry about at all. The engineering sample(ES) posted an underwhelming multi-core result that won't even make any competitor even bat an eye.

Who leaked the info

XFastest HK has told everyone that they have put the Intel Core i9-10900 ES to its limits. Using programs like Cinebench R15 and Cinebench R20 to see what the 10-core, 20-thread Comet Lake could do with all its glory.

What happened to the test

The test performed to not what they expected, and to everyone's surprise. It won't even come close to the current AMD Ryzen 9 3900X that is already in the market now, by the way. Here is a chart that shows the difference in power of the two, and you will see for yourself what indeed the internet is going crazy over:

 Intel i9-10900

 AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

Cinebench R15 single-core

 182 points

 209 points

Cinebench R15 multi-core

 1670 points

 3049 points

Cinebench R20 single-core

 441 points

 514 points

Cinebench R20 multi-core

 3714 points

 6910 points

Cores/Threads

 10/20

 12/24

After reading the table, it is pretty clear that the only good thing about the i9 is that it has lower power emission of 65W to Ryzen's 105W.

What does this spell

So as the Intel chip performs relatively on par with AMD in the single-core tests. The multi-core goes to AMD by a hundred miles.

Let the viewer know as well that several variables are to be considered, components in the system that feature the Intel Core i9-10900 ES and also its engineering sample. The base clock of the ES is around 2.50 GHz, and the final clock of the 10-core Comet Lake desktop processor is around 2.80 GHz. This comes boosted to 4.60 GHz 10 cores and 5.20 GHz single-core. The TDP difference also should be mentioned where the Ryzen 9 3900X can comfortably rely on 105 W TDP, and the i9-10900 ES is only capable of 65 W when tested with Cinebench.

The AMD chip does, however, have big advantages over the Intel chip sample in this benchmark, including but not limited to its two extra cores for that enhanced multi-core performance. There is still room for team Intel to dish out before the final products and a fair result to come out since this is only just a sample, as stated earlier.

The potential final outcome

If this leak has any credibility to it and this is what we will expect to see once the final product is out, it will struggle to compete against team Red once they dish out their Ryzen 4000 desktop processors. Intel has to step up, or it might lose a key component in their business plans moving forward.

The race for who has the best processors is still on-going, let's not forget that it is always a close race between the two. As for now, team Red is definitely in the lead until team Blue finds that golden goose to help them get the advantage back.
