Intel Core i7-10700K and i5-10600K Geekbenched, Inch Ahead of 3800X and 3600X
The week has begun with sporadic leaks about Intel's upcoming 10th generation Core "Comet Lake-S" desktop processor family, be it pictures of various socket LGA1200 motherboards, or leaked performance scores. Thai PC enthusiast TUM_APISAK posted links to Geekbench V4 entries of a handful 10th gen Core processors. These include the Core i7-10700K (8-core/16-thread), and the Core i5-10600K (6-core/12-thread). Comparisons with incumbent AMD offerings are inescapable. The i7-10700K locks horns with the Ryzen 7 3800X, while the i5-10600K takes the battle to the Ryzen 5 3600X.
The Core i7-10700K scores 34133 points in the multi-core test, and 5989 in the single-core one. The i5-10600K, on the other hand, puts out 28523 points in the multi-threaded test, and 6081 points in the single-core test. Both scores appear to be a single-digit percentage ahead of the AMD rivals in the multi-threaded test. The Intel chips appear to offer slightly better less-parallelized performance owing to higher boost frequencies for single-threaded or less parallelized workloads. These include an impressive 5.10 GHz max boost frequency for the i7-10700K, and 4.80 GHz for the i5-10600K. APISAK also posted scores of the iGPU-disabled Core i5-10600KF, which is roughly on par with the i5-10600K since it's basically the same chip with its eyes poked out.

And obviously all clocks and cores equal you get more done with less power on AMD and that simple fact will dent Intel's market share.
Anyway, I did a few runs of GeekBench with my 9900K @ 5000MHz:
v4.0.0 browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15417363
v4.3.3 browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15417404
v4.4.2 browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15417410
I'm pretty sure intel have enough pressure from 3000 Ryzens as it is. Please don't stop your medication. Stopping it leads to posts like the one above.
Generally AMD is just now catching up to Intel Coffee Lake (read Kaby, Sky, Sandy etc. etc.) all the same crap at stock w/ Zen 3 core per core -- which is amazing; my point was, that the new chips being ahead of the 3xxx series is not news especially when 4xxx is releasing in 5 months.
To get the top end chip here, I would expect an expensive setup since you will need a beefy PSU, motherboard, and high end cooling solution. I feel AMD's Zen 2 had already outperformed Coffee Lake (Skylake) if you go by the IPC improvements. Clock for clock, I feel AMD should be close if not already faster than Intel. Coffee Lake and also the current Comet Lake is only able to segregate itself from AMD by pushing clockspeed. It is clear that frequency on Skylake was never meant to go this high, since Intel always pride their chips as being energy efficient. As it stands now, energy efficiency is questionable even though they still have the single core performance advantage due to a very high clockspeed. In their desperation to cling on to the performance crown, for the last 4 years they have done nothing other than tweaking the old Skylake chip to make it run at a higher clockspeed.
If the 3600x could hit the 4.9-5.0 that the 8700k hits it would absolutely smash it. But it can't so at the end of the day the Coffee Lakes are still faster. These new chips are basically rebranded/tweaked coffee lakes... They will be slightly faster than the 3xxx
What kind of chilla was used?
To summarize, I feel where power is not a problem and user does not mind, Intel will shine because of the higher clockspeed. At this stage however, I tend not to recommend Intel unless there are very specific workload where Intel does well since Intel still charges a sizable premium over AMD, not to mention the additional cost of getting a high end cooler and decent Z series motherboard in order to OC. Gaming used to be a sticking point for AMD and they are still catching up, the gap is now smaller.
On your comment/statement, just about every benchmark at 1440p I can find puts the 3600 about 6fps behind an 8700k so yeah while better, you wont notice it.
I don`t know what benchmarks you saw to make such a statement. It may be real if 8700k is stock or the ram is not that great. FC5 is really sensitive to single thread perfomance and memory subsystem. Maybe the tested scene was more GPU bound. Idk, but I know that my 5700xt can be around 70% utilization for quiet a long time. Ryzen just can`t give as much frames as gpu can draw. Without being GPU bound 9600k stock is around 10% better than R5 3600 stock (benchmark done by one of the most popular russian tech youtuber. The results are attached with some translation to qualify test setup. I can give a link to this vid, if you want) If both of them are maxed out, 9600k is more than 20% better. So, I would get much more frames with intel cpu in most of the situations.
Just business, nothing personal)
Also, if the are feeling real pressure from AMD now they would severely cut their prices, which isn't the case as you know.
So you know whom to blame))
Ryzen 4000 will land a few months later with faster single core for like 50% of the power draw and over 40% higher multithreaded perf. Ridiculous FUD. Those CPUs are within a few percent of the 3600 @ 1080p on average, and margin of error or SLOWER @ 1440p and up. And to get these differences you need to be gaming on a 2080 Ti...
And before you get back to me with cherry picked titles unoptimized for Ryzen that show a greater than 5% gaming difference, there are others where the 3600 is faster.
Wait for real benchmarks to judge any product. User submitted benchmarks, even when using good bechmarks, are inherently useless for determining the precise performance of a product, without comparable and fair test conditions. It can be even worse for engineering samples.
Early benchmarks like this are interesting for one thing; hints about how close the next products are. (assuming they are not manipulated, of course)
Because if you fully patch ANY 9000-series (and previous) intel system it tanks like a rock to the bottom of all benchmarks (no matter how useless the whole benchmarking is). Been there, done that. Such systems feels and perform so sluggish that if it was a horse...
I really love people who only own 1 system for a few years but speak like they have done hands-on research on every piece of hardware out there. Same people who 'play' WinRAR, Blender, etc. all day long.
Waiting is not possible for some people. They want to build here and now. When ryzen 4000 will be on the market and gaming benchmarks will be out, then the discussion will have any sense. But now we can`t say for sure.
Well, maybe you will show some benchmarks that are not cherry picked. I`m really interested, the results you described are surprising In russian language word "толсто" is sometimes used to say that sarcasm/irony really stands out and can be easily recognized. Idk why he used this word on english speaking forum though
looks amd time end closing fast, anyway,i wait intels10nm and finally 7nm cpus, then we see real compare,when both have even tech.
both should coming this year.
- It has [insert number] nm die size
- It has [insert number] cores
- It has [insert number] Ghz
- It has [insert number] whatever
- It scored [insert number] in this [irrelevant] benchmark
And when asked how it performs in the apps / games they actually run, they have no idea. Most builds we are asked about are in the $500 3900X or 9900KF category. Whiuch one is better ? I can't answer hat question.... i can only answer which is better for the apps you use but 1st you have to tell me what they are.Gaming, CAD, Photo Editing, Video Editing and Gaming,Sound encoding, the better choice is Intel
Rendering, Brain Simulation, Software Development, H264/H265 Encoding, the better choice is AMD
Geekbench doesn't give the answers I need to make a valid comparison.
Starting at the low end with the 6-core £80 1600AF all the way up to the 12-core 3900X for £400. Same with the motherboards across 3 generations from low end to high end, choose which suits you. This is the beauty of AM4's cross generational compatability.
Other sites publishing this news are at least putting Ryzen results as comparison, but even then they look for the lowest Ryzen score on GeekBench.
Intel is only strong in the marketing department and paying sites to publish fabricated news.
