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.

In reality, they bought the most expensive Intel cpu to play at 60 fps on a GTX 1060 lol
sad for gamers tho we get fucked in the ass
I mean, more cores for cheaper is a benefit, just not so many cores in that same segment is the biggest concern.
9900KS is an 3800X Killer!
3900X is an 9900KS Killer but it has 12 cores, Until Q4 2019 Intel upcoming 10 Cores on new socket and PCIe 4.0
400 series boards.
AMD playing catch up to Intel, Coffeelake/Coffeelake Refresh pretty much destroyed all PC Gaming benchmarks vs Zen/Zen+ but now with Zen2 3rd time a charm?
One of the best examples are the strategy games, ex: Total War, Civilization, etc, where a strong CPU can provide better animationa during fighting scenes and improved AI tactics.
That system aside, Steam is pretty much representative sample of 'real gaming' and I have another rig which is within the Steam range... Whatever is difference on over 100 FPS doesn't concern me at all, because I have 60Hz display. I have my budget, and only thing I'm actually interested in is having a satisfying experience in relatively low demanding games that I play. I'm obviously out of 'real gaming', and so are 80% of so called 'players' on Steam.
To tell the truth, I always bought AMD CPUs and hated near-monopoly that Intel held. And similar to NVIDIA. This call-out interest me only if it's in my price range, and somehow proves that Intel has an offer which really makes a noticeable difference... For my System 2, that is. For System 1, to be honest, actual silicon area is of the more importance, since everything is delidded and cooled directly by the condensate... Gaming near super-conductivity rules, and it's the only thing worth living for...
Wait, I found the microcode update package from Microsoft. Unfortunately they really don't make it easy to find. For those that want it, it's located here. Stupid Microsoft didn't list it on their microcode summary page as they should have. :mad:
Also... looks like scaling take a sharp dive going from 6-8c... www.overclock3d.net/reviews/software/total_war_three_kingdoms_pc_performance_review/7
Can you kindly link the test that shows a 2950X in it? Many thanks! :)
Things will change... but people's time tables are off (IMO). Again if buying today for a 5 year cycle, I wouldn't get more than 8c/16t...unless you can use the threads now.
5 years ago it was a dual core or dual with HT... more than 4 CPU cores I wouldn't call commonplace today either. You'll note that according to steam stats a full 80% of users are on dual or quad core CPUs. 13% are hex, 2% octo. Surely we will see things change over the next few years, but I wouldn't hold my breath, as an average user, that more than 8c/16t will be useful for the majority. Again, AMD and Intel has had Hex's out for almost 8 years already... its going to take more time than most people think, regardless if it is accelerated now.
You got that link with the 2950X and Total War?
