The AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen Deep Dive Review: 3700X and 3900X Raising The Bar
by Andrei Frumusanu & Gavin Bonshor on July 7, 2019 9:00 AM EST** = Old results marked were performed with the original BIOS & boost behaviour as published on 7/7.
Gaming: 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.
Aside from keeping up-to-date on the Formula One world, F1 2017 added HDR support, which F1 2018 has maintained. 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.

The 2600K had legs as good as any modern CPU, but I don't agree that "most" people are still using a CPU 6 to 8 years old.yeeeeman - Monday, July 8, 2019 - link
Most people are still on Sandy bridge, ivy bridge or haswell. All of these are nothing compared to what 3900x offers and also 3700x. That is the main idea here. There is no point in buying 9900k just to pay a lot more for 5% fps increase at 1080p. That is nitpicking at its best. You are much better off with a 3900x. You get 2950x mt performance, you get more than enough gaming performance and you get lower power consumption than 9900k.Namisecond - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Intel had better marketing, better suppliers, better chipsets, better networking, etc. AMD having a better CPU just doesn't seem to be enough.just4U - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Better chipsets? Amd just released the x570 what does the 390 chipset offer that the x570 does not?Meteor2 - Sunday, July 14, 2019 - link
"He stated in article it took amd 15 YEARS to get this good CPU finally out and sounded like he was impressed by that?" No. That's why it was awarded a Silver.Korguz - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
not according to Maxiking, catavalon21... starting to sound like Maxiking, is another HStewart .....shabby - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
Where is Hstewart anyway? LolOliseo - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
"But not when the raw performance is tconsidered. It is a hypothetical scenario"How can you take someone seriously when they say this on an article that provides the evidence they claim is "hypothetical".
You simply can't. Either they think you're stupid, or they don't know they are.
It's one or the other. What do you reckon it is.

Please don't take our current numbers as any sign of overclockability - we didn't have enough time for it and motherboard firmwares are still getting updated.Maxiking - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Your numbers on par with the rest of the world, so you maxed out those chips.
