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

This is mighty impressive showing from Intel. It beats 800EUR 16c/32t CPU and almost beats 1500EUR 24c/48t CPU. Now if pricing of 10900K is in 550EUR range it will be amazing bang for buck.

EDIT: While I expect these high thread AMD CPUs might still come on top in pure rendering workloads, 10900K looks like to be a killer gaming and general enthusiast home use CPU.

Especially with all of them hardware mitigations built/baked right in also!!

Sorry, but not sorry. Intel has a long way to go in order to obtain this guys trust back.

Looks good but not as much from an upgrade pov, I will skip this series most likely.

AMD doesn't impress me with anything at this point either, unless that 4k series is going to shine in games
significantly more than this. If they will barely match it then it's another doooh.

Not sure what's not more than "matching up" for you in regards to performance. AMD is kicking Intel's teeth in. In gaming and in applications. And at an unbelievable price point.

Hence Intel just dropped their prices from $2500 to nine hundred something!!!! MESSAGE!.!.!

I really failed to see what is impressive here, is it that the new generation from Intel with two more cores and higher clock-speed still retain the gaming crown ??? I mean that was pretty obvious from the start.....

Seriously?! Can it even be considered as a serious comparison when AMD is associated with a DDR4 2400. Specially when you know how better AMD performs with higher freq.

AMD : 4 x 8 GiB DDR4-2400
vs
INTEL : 4 x 16 GiB DDR4-2666
