The Intel Xeon W-3175X Review: 28 Unlocked Cores, $2999
by Ian Cutress on January 30, 2019 9:00 AM ESTGaming: Shadow of the Tomb Raider (DX12)
The latest instalment of the Tomb Raider franchise does less rising and lurks more in the shadows with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. As expected this action-adventure follows Lara Croft which is the main protagonist of the franchise as she muscles through the Mesoamerican and South American regions looking to stop a Mayan apocalyptic she herself unleashed. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the direct sequel to the previous Rise of the Tomb Raider and was developed by Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics and was published by Square Enix which hit shelves across multiple platforms in September 2018. This title effectively closes the Lara Croft Origins story and has received critical acclaims upon its release.
The integrated Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark is similar to that of the previous game Rise of the Tomb Raider, which we have used in our previous benchmarking suite. The newer Shadow of the Tomb Raider uses DirectX 11 and 12, with this particular title being touted as having one of the best implementations of DirectX 12 of any game released so far.

Hi Ian,Your testing mentions running Linux 'when feasible' and when in 'full swing' - is that any time soon? I think benchmarks would benefit from cross-platform tests (remember the debacle of Threadripper performance on Windows..)
Cheers

This review sucks there is not a single data for how the Socket A Duron 900 stacks up against the rest :D After all 19 years passed we should know how far the CPUs advanced :DTesseramous - Thursday, January 31, 2019 - link
I would not want to buy a limited edition piece of hardware with only 1500 sold as there is likely to be a lack of support; compatibility issues.evilpaul666 - Friday, February 1, 2019 - link

I just want a Intel 12-core 5 GHz chip. Lets hope the next generation delivers that.mapesdhs - Saturday, February 2, 2019 - link
Why the brand loyalty? That's not logical. Just buy the best solution for the intended task, no matter who makes it. If right now that's Intel, because of AVX or 1080p high-refresh gaming, then so be it, but for Blender atm AMD is king. It depends on the task. Some absolute notion of branded desire is bizarre.Beaver M. - Sunday, February 3, 2019 - link
Mixed. Too many bad experiences with stability and software support with AMD.Updated Software - Sunday, February 3, 2019 - link
