"Pretty likely....."
So at a time when a Ryzen 3600 with SMT off can beat a 3900X, you think more cores are where we're going next couple years?
Where is that beating a 3900X in a wide variety of new games? You can find exceptions for anything.

I dont care one way or another as competion is good for everyone however you better read your graphs again man. A year old 18 core chip from intel either beats or in most cases a few % points away from a brand new 32core chip. I am not for bashing anyone but win 10 fanbois but intel clearly is still the winner. We can argue price points but their re-release 18 core chip releases tomorrow for sub 1g price. So as much as I like what I see from AMD intel still is the winner here.

3600 and 3900X perform the same, when the 3600 isn't faster. This is not news.
Are you quoting a dfferent review ? Does not look like you are talking about this one where Intel's latest HEDT CPU that was released today loses very badly, sometimes scoring less than half. Never mind TR 3's far superior plaform features.I dont care one way or another as competion is good for everyone however you better read your graphs again man.

AMD won 10 out of 10 of the non-gaming benchmarks by a significant amount in most, and the gaming benchmarks vs the 10980XE by 6 to 1. Are all Intel fanboys this clueless?
The 3900X is faster if only slightly. If I come across the 30+ games that Steve tested showing the average of 134 vs 130 or whatever it is, I'll let you know. Where does that leave the 9900K? All of that clock advantage and it's only 6% faster at 1080p gaming (on average). That's not much margin to make up for the 3900X which is 40% more powerful.

For gaming, Intel is still the way to go.
The $450 9900K is beating/matching these $1400 and $2000 CPU's, but for all other intents and purposes, I say again, hard to argue against Ryzen.
Edited:
Sorry didn't see the 18core intel, skipped over the article my bad.
Still not apples to apples by a long shot, but nice to see it there.
Intel need to lower their prices!
Yes they are!AMD won 10 out of 10 of the non-gaming benchmarks by a significant amount in most, and the gaming benchmarks vs the 10980XE by 6 to 1. Are all Intel fanboys this clueless?
I didn't see that 18 core in there, thanks guys.
That's still not an apples to apples comparison by far, but atleast it is closer
For sure, you must be blind to believe otherwise, I mean, are you really saying that those 4/8 CPUs are still as capable as 3-4 years ago? and next gen consoles have been confirmed to have 8/16 CPUs instead of the two 4 cores glued together we already have."Pretty likely....."

6% on average. Keyword is average. If you happen to play the games where Ryzen is 15%+ behind (they exist), that 6% average means nothing. All that average tells you is that that chip is competitive when frames don't matter the most to you.
The same review where steve said that he doesn't recommend the 10980XE?I don't think anyone
10/10 tests
Synthetics
6/1 games
Only six games
Watch Gamers Nexus review to see more real world MT tests and scenarios and games that aren't picked that perform the same on all chips tested.
Some still prefer things like Quicksync and CUDA. It all boils down to what software and workload the user needs. I promise you that anyone considering TR will look well beyond the tests you've seen here if productivity is paramount.
Is TR awesome? Yes. But not in every scenario as the tests shown here would have you believe. These are best case scenarios using synthetic tests.
I don't see Intel able to compete at the highest end until their 7nm fabrication is ready.... which isn't for over a year... Will be interesting to see what their 12980 or whatever they name it will perform like...Lol..GG Intel, 10980XE made obsolete by 3950X and ridiculed by 3970X before it even releases. Hopefully this will be a wake up slap for Intel just like the AMD athlon X2 era.
Yes they are!
Just curious what you would want see in the comparison from Intel? Bottom line is there is nothing in Intel's lineup that competes with these 3rd gen threadripper chips at the moment. I'm not saying Intel's chips don't have value at their price/core/competition points, but they have nothing to directly compete with these new threadripper chips.
I guess it depends on how you define obsolete. A newly launched CPU doesn't become invalid or "obsoleted" because the companies, competitor has a CPU that's faster in some synthetic benchmarks. [charmsd] - not a member of the superlative tossing team.GG Intel, 10980XE made obsolete

There are "benchmarks" all over Ytube showing MARGIN OF ERROR results. I hoped this site had a minimum of 'fan clubbishness' but it turns out, no. At MSRP these CPU's are only marginally affordable.
