CPU Core Scaling AMD Ryzen 9 vs Intel Core i9

A much-asked question is, how well does a specific game actually run on either an AMD or Intel processor. And that is a valid question as there can be significant differences. Below you can see the 9900K from Intel and a 3900X from AMD. The difference is close to NIL even with a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, you do need to realize that we test at very GPU bound image quality settings.

 

 

CPU Core Number Scaling

You are wondering, what would be the effect of a four-core versus an eight-core processor for this the game? Well, I have a quick chart I would like to show you, the results below are based on default clock frequencies. We apply the very same image quality settings as used throughout this article, Ultra. The proc used is the Core i9 9900K. 

  

You are going to notice that the effect of a CPU starting at a nice fast four core proc will be sufficient already. 

Above the Core i9 9900K configured at 6 active cores - you can see plenty of CPU utilization and threading. However, check that first core, 100% utilized. So most work is prioritized to a single thread. it is also indicative of the fact that the faster Turbo binned processor will offer the best performance (if not too GPU bound).
