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.
Timespy don't scale well with multiple cores, so no, it's not that good.

With the risk of sounding like a salty fanboy.
I never quite understood why in all intel vs AMD comparisons the AMD machine always has either less RAM or lower freq RAM. In this case both.
Lets not forget the fridge cooling fiasco to keep them boosts up.

Yeah, it isnt the best test. Im sure even the 3950x will come on top when it comes to rendering, editing and 10900k will be games due higher clock speeds.
Dont forget that this is Intel competitor to ryzen 4000 thats thats this year then all this seems less impressive.

I already explained that in my post. Also, core count isn't the only thing that matters. Frequency matters just as much. It's best to have CPU with a good balance between high frequency and core count.
