Intel Challenges AMD to Beat it in "Real World Gaming"
AMD is on the verge of launching its 3rd generation Ryzen "Matisse" processors that are widely expected to take the performance crown from Intel. At its Computex 2019 reveal, AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su claimed that these processors beat the competition in all areas, including gaming. Motherboard manufacturers threw their weight behind AMD by pulling out their most premium brands for the AMD "Valhalla" desktop platform that consists of these processors, mated with an AMD X570 chipset motherboard. Ahead of its E3 2019 keynote Monday afternoon, Intel has come out with a challenge. Chipzilla dares AMD to beat it in "real-world gaming."
At its "gaming performance for the real world" address in Los Angeles Jon Carvill, VP of marketing, challenged AMD to beat it in real world gaming with its upcoming processors. "So you're going to hear a lot about gaming CPUs this week," he began. "They may or may not come from certain three letter acronyms. That said, here's what I want to challenge you. I want to challenge you to challenge them. If they want this crown come beat us in in real world gaming, real world gaming should be the defining criteria that we use to assess the world's best gaming CPU. I challenge you to challenge anyone that wants to compete for this crown to come meet us in real world gaming. That's the measure that we're going to stand by."
AMD's latest stab at Intel is the "Zen 2" microarchitecture at the heart of the new Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core/24-thread processor, leading a gaming-focused processor lineup that also includes the Ryzen 7 8-core/16-thread, and Ryzen 5 3600X 6-core/12-thread. These processors feature a 10% increase in clock-speeds, and a whopping 15 percent increase in IPC over the current "Zen+" The processors, when combined with motherboards based on the AMD X570 chipset, also put out a total of 40 PCI-Express gen 4.0 lanes. Unlike previous generations, much of AMD's engineering effort has been focused on shoring up gaming performance. The company is explicitly marketing these processors as "Gaming CPUs." The processors launch on the 7th of July.

I bet the 7700k will win on CS:GO benchmarks vs ANY AMD CPUs now and near future :roll:
Also the recent update Intel made to their benchmark disclosure after Computex on their site covering all benchmarks.
What about 4k60?
Where do 'real gamers' draw the line?
Hell i just started gaming on my VR rig on my 4k TV last night with my ryzen 1400 and forgot it was at stock clocks after a BIOS update, and didnt frigging notice.

I just find it all silly because Intel is calling on people to challenge themLike hiding behind a buffer in case things don't go your way.
Intel is right btw,all AMD ever shows in synthetic benchmarks to show ipc/single thread improvements,and then just slaps the gaming label on it.
You can pick any game and 8700 will be among top 5 cpus in any scenario,2700x will go back and forth between matching 8700k and losing to 8400.Amd don't need to deliver much on the multi threaded performance,but rather where 2700x missed
They might beat AMD in gaming performance but who really cares about three or four FPS? Besides, gaming performance is a stupid metric for CPU performance.
If the VRM designs is anything to go by on X570 boards, even OC headroom might be there this time around. Mr. Carvill should be careful what he wishes for... it might come true.
Even if somhow intel manages to beat AMD systems by 1-2% I will happily live wth that 'loss', knowing I didn't put my money with these greedy, dishonest baboons.
