A benchmark has appeared for the upcoming release of the Ryzen 9 3950X, which exhibits its future performance with its 16 cores. Along with the much-awaited release is a comparison coming up against the Core i9-10980XE of Intel. With both processors featuring a large count of core and just below $1000, it may be surprising to discover their difference.
Because of this latest revelation from Ryzen, Intel is undeniably under so much pressure "because the Core i9-9900KS is supposed to be 'the gaming reference,'" although its performance is put trial with applications described to be highly multi-threaded. The present condition is such that a comparison with this soon-to-be-launched Ryzen technology appears to be more suitable.
The Processor's Specs
Expect the Ryzen 9 3950X to be an excellent performer as it features the "7nm core architecture with a base frequency of 3.5GHz" and the great boost-up possibility of up to 4.7GHz. Also, as earlier described, this chip boasts of 16 cores and 32 threads. It also features a total cache of 72MB and 105W TDP.
Although reportedly threatened, the Intel Core i9-10980XE has impressive features and spec, too, offering 18 cores and 36 threads which have a 3.0GHz base clock, and a potential boost-up of up to 4.6GHz. This chip will be over a 165W TDP, on top of the 24.75MB total cache.
The Geekbench 4 Benchmark
The comparison is also known as the "Geekbench 4 benchmark database," and, in a single-core mode, there are corresponding values of 5570 points against 5453, so AMD is taking a light grip. More so, in terms of the shift to multi-core positions, this new Ryzen technology at 52098 points favorably against Intel at 51180. Therefore, the results are advantageous to AMD, regardless of its core performance (single or multi-core) and cost.
In spite of the figures presented here, it is important to note that they are just theoretical benchmarks with a rough method. They can change in everyday use. Nevertheless, Geekbench 4 assesses performance through different tasks. Some of these tasks include AES encryption, LZMA compression, JPEG, PDF, and memory write speed. And, in terms of memory, for instance, the software declares a 36 GB/s bandwidth for Ryzen tech, and 33.1 GB/s for Intel. And, while everyone awaits the first independent trials, there's a nice outcome for AMD to enjoy and benefit from.
Lastly, with AMD having the statistics to support the fact that it is currently very competitive compared to the mainstream lineup of Intel, everyone expects to see excellent performance figures from the 16-core Ryzen chip the moment it gets released this month.
