$749 Ryzen 9 3950X Beats $2000 Intel Core i9-9980XE (18-core) in Geekbench Test

AMD is on track releasing some interesting new processors, at this weeks announcements you've learned about the Ryzen 9 3950X. A Geekbench test surfaced, and guess what? The processor giving a $2,000 Intel Core i9-9980XE a run for its money.

The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU based on the Zen 2 architecture with 16 cores and 32 threads achieves a very impressive score in Geekbench. Very interesting to see is that both single and multi-threaded is faster than the 18-core Intel Core i9-9980XE. That is a considerable achievement when you factor in the price tag.

The results learn that AMD is beating Intel single-core score with 5,868 vs. 5,395. The 3950X's multi-core score that's rather impressive, with the i9-9980XE 30% in favor of the 9980XE, which has two more cores I must mention. So that's 46,618 points for Intel and 61072 for the Ryzen 9 3950X.

 

 

Obviously, we need to fire off a disclaimer, as we do not know at what conditions the Ryzen 9 3950X was tested. However, it is listing a 3.3 GHz base and 4.3 GHz Turbo clock assumes an engineering sample. Results thus could be even better as the specs will be 3.5 and 4.7 GHz. In further comparison to say an Intel Core i9- 9900K, this product scores roughly 6209 for a single thread. But if that Turbo really was at 4.3, then AMD has 400 MHz left on the final product.

Funny thing is that 3950x will beat 9980x even in gaming. Intel has nothing on AMD besides higher pricing.

I'll take higher pricing over performance any day!

Even if the scores are off, we don't know until September, can't deny its less than half the price of Intel counterpart.
