Core i9-10900K CPU Score Spotted in 3DMark - let's chart that up

The past few days a number of entries have been spotted for intel's pending 10 core Core i9-10900K. The numbers are very interesting to see back and forth.

The Core i9-10900K is to be the consumer flagship, hopefully, listed under 500 bucks. It has ten-cores at 3.7 / 5.1 GHz turbo, the Ryzen 9 3900 X with 12 cores and 3.8 / 4.5 GHz is also compared in the leaked benches.

In Time Spy Extreme, which only measures the CPU. A Ryzen 9 3900X (12C / 24T; 3.8 GHz / 4.6 GHz; 4 x 8 GiB DDR4-2400) scores 6,570 points.
The Core i9-10900K (10C / 20T; 3.7 GHz / 5.1 GHz; 4 x 16 GiB DDR4-2666) achieves 6,124 points.

So that's lower than the Ryzen 9 3900X, however in regular time spy only 10 cores/threads are taken into the measurement, and then something interesting happens. The results are based on screenshots from Rogame and Tum_Apisak as linked above.

I've added the CPU score (stock clocked) towards our own CPU test results so these charts remain unofficial and speculative. As you can see the Core i9-10900K shines really well, the 10-thread load is in fact very representable for a good gaming processor. Since it is the other way around with Time Spy extreme, this indicates that intel can run several cores faster in that 5 GHz range as opposed to all cores, where performance drops. It is hard to judge and compare from leaked numbers though, keep that in mind:


CPU	Cores/threads	Baseklok	Turbo 1T	Max Turbo 3.0	All-core turbo	TDP
i9 10900K	10C/20T	3.7 GHz	5.1 GHz	5.3 GHz*	4.8 GHz	125W
i9 10900	10C/20T	2.8 GHz	5.0 GHz	5.1 GHz*	4.5 GHz	65W
i7 10700K	8C/16T	3.8 GHz	5.0 GHz	5.1 GHz	4.7 GHz	125W
i7 10700	8C/16T	2.9 GHz	4.7 GHz	4.8 GHz	4.6 GHz	65W
i5 10600K	6C/12T	4.1 GHz	4.8 GHz	-	4.5 GHz	125W
i5 10600	6C/12T	3.3 GHz	4.8 GHz	-	4.4 GHz	65W
i5 10500	6C/12T	3.1 GHz	4.5 GHz	-	4.2 GHz	65W
i5 10400	6C/12T	2.9 GHz	4.3 GHz	-	4.0 GHz	65W
i3 10320	4C/8T	3.8 GHz	4.6 GHz	-	4.4 GHz	65W
i3 10300	4C/8T	3.7 GHz	4.4 GHz	-	4.2 GHz	65W
i3 10100	4C/8T	3.6 GHz	4.3 GHz	-	4.1 GHz	65W
* Intel Thermal Velocity Boost (single-core / all core): 10900K: 5.3/4.9 GHz; 10900: 5.1/4.6 GHz
