Comprehensive Core i9-10900K Review Leaked: Suggests Intel Option Formidable
A comprehensive review of the Intel Core i9-10900K 10-core/20-thread processor by Chinese tech publication TecLab leaked to the web on video sharing site bilibili. Its testing data reveals that Intel has a fighting chance against the Ryzen 9 3900X both in gaming- and non-gaming tasks despite a deficit of 2 cores; whereas the much pricier Ryzen 9 3950X only enjoys leads in multi-threaded synthetic- or productivity benchmarks.
Much of Intel's performance leads are attributed to a fairly high core-count, significantly higher clock speeds than the AMD chips, and improved boosting algorithms, such as Thermal Velocity Boost helping the chip out in gaming tests. Where Intel loses hard to AMD is power-draw and energy-efficiency. TecLab tested the three chips with comparable memory- and identical graphics setups.More charts follow.
The games above are Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Metro: Exodus, and Tomb Raider.

So with the 20% IPC increase, the 200-300Mhz boost in clocks, and the doubling of cores per CCX, Zen3 could very well result in core for core performance gains vs Zen2 in the area of 30+%! When it comes to rocket lake, we know there will be new core architecture, but the same old 14nm process. I seriously doubt this will result in better performance gains than Zen3. It was just leaked that OEMs testing early samples of Zen3 believe that not only will Zen3 maintain multicore application dominance, but that Zen3 might take the gaming performance crown as well..... Knowing all of that, I don't see how it's possible for you to believe Zen3 will be defeated by whatever intel squirts out
Or it is only matter when AMD's GPU/CPU cause it.
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to at least recognize this cpu gonna run hotter that 9900ks
Anyway, I did order a 10900k but still not sure if I might cancel it and wait rather for Zen 3.
Damn Intel needs a die shrink right now. I can’t wait for new Zen to come out and see intel drop their price to compete.
He means the actual average user , so he is right.
Your , average buyer of this chip knows what's what point, might be right.
But the Average user isn't him or her.
The average user buys a little below what they actually need typically and the mainstream doesn't start at i5 for no reason, this is a i9! It's too expensive for 90%+ out there.
I sold my 4790 (Wasn't even a K-model) for more than I bought it for new, because to someone with an S1150 i3 machine they get a huge upgrade without having to spend even more on a new motherboard and different RAM as well. That convenience massively increases the resale value of any high-end processor on a retired socket type.
I think I will wait for zen 3 and see what it can do. I've been on X58 for 11 years now, so I can properly manage to wait a few more months before an upgrade and see what will come.
I get the impression that vulnerabilities in the recycled Skylake architecture are being discovered at twice or even three times the rate that Intel can patch them in software, let alone hardware mitigations that are always at least 18 months behind the curve just because of the lenghty process between tapeout and a shipped product.
10900K: $488
That's a massive no. And Zen 3 is some months away, which will likely see another 15% IPC boost.
I will not pay for old reused tech from Intel. I will either upgrade to zen 3 or wait for Intel 10 nm... Maybe.
Nah, can't tell you cause you will call me dumb, lol.
Actually got a 8700k @ 5 GHZ. But I got someone who would need it and would sell it then for cheap.
I am aware that the 300 MHZ more boost and 4 cores 8 threads probably aren't worth the upgrade. I just could afford it and don't care about the money that much.
But yeah, really considering to cancel order and wait for Zen 3 or RKL or even Alder Lake.
AMD: Great job Intel, you have indeed a higher score in the wattage meter....:laugh:
Intel: %$@%#^ AMD, %$#@!$... :banghead::banghead::banghead:
