AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X review - Performance - 3DMark Time Spy CPU

3DMark Time Spy CPU score

3DMark Vantage focuses on the two areas most critical to gaming performance: the CPU and the GPU. With the emergence of multi-package and multi-core configurations on both the CPU and GPU side, the performance scale of these areas has widened, and the visual and game-play effects made possible by these configurations are accordingly wide-ranging. This makes covering the entire spectrum of 3D gaming a difficult task. 3DMark Vantage has a standalone CPU test. It's multi-core and multi-threading aware. We'll look at the overall P score in the game segment of this article as well.

As you can see, the CPU score disappoints somewhat. Sure, it is extremely fast, but we think the same is happening as we noticed with Handbrake, e.g. not all threads are utilized and thus measured. This explains why the 1920X scores above the 1950X as it has a 100 MHz higher base frequency.
