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.

850W should last until that PSU dies or you go multiple high wattage GPUs...(and who is doing that these days?). It's overspent for single CPU/GPU rigs.
A quality 650W Gold unit is plenty for 90% of users using a single card. This wattage allows for ambient CPU overclocks as well as GPU overclocks while still living in the 50% to 75% range.
For this processor I'm going to be more curious about people slapping inadequate coolers on it then complaining about not hitting the higher clock speeds.
Btw, I got it for the same price as the 650W (open box) so I just go for it. PSU sometimes have excess solder flux that smell terrible when first powerup and the 1st owner return it, so I grab it for really cheap. Oh lovely summer is coming and it's gonna be HOT.
Don't mind my 550W Sunbeam from Circa 2004(?) still going string powering an 1500X and RTX 2060 today.
Since failures happen to even the best PSU's... it becomes much more subjective at that point.
But hey, since when this becomes a PSU thread... Come back to 10900K people!
Yes, why would we talk about random failures that can happen to any unit?
You guys crack me up... love my avatar.
Have a great day, peeps! :)
You just repeated what i said, where flat out objectification cannot and does not work.
Moving on...
You've gone to great lengths arguing about a $20 - $30 difference in PSU's - And yet admit to spending $100's more on BS intel parts because of what? A couple of percentage points in gaming?
A pity your quest for efficiency doesn't extend to cold hard cash, "that is wasted and never recovered".
Also, I get more out of my CPUs because I can utilize (not use) them. I was a competitive sub-ambient overclocker as well. So more cores/threads helps, and so do other chips with a lot faster clocks.
"Subject to use" is what people should consider when we judge PSU choice, unless it is a load of garbage that will blow up.
Then we also have those who are clueless and could use a hand choosing an appropriate unit too, be objective with them.
We already know enough.. just sensless bickering and objectifying other peoples uses to stand out which is arrogance enough.
I digress.
Edit: Please note what I responded to initially. :)

So I bought the Ryzen 3800X CPU, board, and RAM for it. But I just couldn't bring myself to sell the i9-9900K. It's pretty damn nice and it's a keeper.
Gaming: Intel kills AMD.
AMD only wins in those workstation style benchmarks I don't care about.
But if you don't know - now ya know...
