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 | ||||||

Boss u should put the 10 core limitation on the graph itself as it seems a lot of people only looks at that....

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
I've got 4x16gb going on in my X570 Aorus Xtreme @ 3800mhz....
Not sure what's the problem here. And will be the same setup in my Aorus Xtreme TRX40 board.

1st: If you take this into account and give the 9900K two extra(polative) cores, the 10900K is 5.3% slower in regular time spy, and in time spy extreme only 2.57% faster... sound a bit meh to me...
2nd: I better do not want to now the amount of energy consumed by it... and afaik you need socket lga1200 - that owns no pcie 4.0 - so, very meeeeeehhhh
and last but not least: just couple the R9s with proper 3200MHz CL14 or 3600MHz CL16 memory & here wo go again...

I'm just a noob but the 3950X scores (non-extreme, the graph with the bars) which where put in the OP are taken with DDR4 3200MHz...
Although I'm not 100% sure where the Intel scores come from since source isn't available (anymore?), and I guess the general score (non-extreme) is extrapolated in the first place.
Not moved by this bench. Extrapolated score is ~3% above 3950X, which is not really that far ahead, especially considering AMD's releasing a new CPU after Intel's launch which is supposed to be faster...
Anyhow, it's all in the real world benchmarks and usage later on this year. I hope AMD doesn't take forever to release Ryzen 4k.

I find this entertaining, every time AMD puts out a new cpu, Intel's answer is to push more voltage, a whopping 125 watts, through their old processor and call it "new". That's like Ford putting out a new improved Mustang and Chevy just putting a bigger turbo charger on their old Camaro model and calling it a "newer" "faster" vehicle than Fords. But then having to buy racing fuel to make it run. Nothing to see here folks.
