The Intel Core i9-9980XE CPU Review: Refresh Until it Hertz
by Ian Cutress on November 13, 2018 9:00 AM ESTGaming: F1 2018
Aside from keeping up-to-date on the Formula One world, F1 2017 added HDR support, which F1 2018 has maintained; otherwise, we should see any newer versions of Codemasters' EGO engine find its way into F1. Graphically demanding in its own right, F1 2018 keeps a useful racing-type graphics workload in our benchmarks.
We use the in-game benchmark, set to run on the Montreal track in the wet, driving as Lewis Hamilton from last place on the grid. Data is taken over a one-lap race.

I think you mean that Inte's 1 or 2 cores often beat AMD's 1 or 2 cores. In benchmarks that are highly multithreaded, AMD beats Intel. Intel currently has a frequency advantage, so they win in the lightly threaded tests.coder543 - Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - link
Intel's*AnandTech and Twitter both need an edit button.

But my question in real life do you need this many core - I still think it better to have single thread core speed. I say that even as developer that uses multiple threads.GreenReaper - Wednesday, November 14, 2018 - link
Depends on what your real life is, doesn't it? That's why reviews don't have one benchmark and the final paragraph of the conclusion here emphasizes that the right processor for you depends on your workload, even *without* considering the relative prices. For many workloads none of the CPUs tested here are appropriate; a 2400G would be the most efficient, cost-effective option.twtech - Thursday, November 15, 2018 - link
Yes. I could use about twice this many. I also need good single-core clockspeed as well. That's why I'm eagerly anticipating the 3175x launch.bji - Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - link
Windows is garbage. Put these chips onto a real operating system (Linux) and you will see the actual performance they are capable of without Windows holding them back. See Phoronix.twtech - Thursday, November 15, 2018 - link
It's nice if you have that option. Most of the time the software you run only works on certain operating systems and you don't have much choice.Lolimaster - Thursday, November 15, 2018 - link
In benchmarks where the 2950X at 1K will score similar too? What's the point?AMD top dogs are on another whole level, if you got the workload for them, take them, else 2950X.

Typo - you wrote "Intel will need to up its game here to remain competitive". Should have been "Intel will need to up its marketing here to remain competitive".eva02langley - Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - link
Unfortunately, they are selling everything. I would be happy if they were not selling anything.
