Gaming: World of Tanks enCore
Albeit different to most of the other commonly played MMO or massively multiplayer online games, World of Tanks is set in the mid-20th century and allows players to take control of a range of military based armored vehicles. World of Tanks (WoT) is developed and published by Wargaming who are based in Belarus, with the game’s soundtrack being primarily composed by Belarusian composer Sergey Khmelevsky. The game offers multiple entry points including a free-to-play element as well as allowing players to pay a fee to open up more features. One of the most interesting things about this tank based MMO is that it achieved eSports status when it debuted at the World Cyber Games back in 2012.
World of Tanks enCore is a demo application for a new and unreleased graphics engine penned by the Wargaming development team. Over time the new core engine will implemented into the full game upgrading the games visuals with key elements such as improved water, flora, shadows, lighting as well as other objects such as buildings. The World of Tanks enCore demo app not only offers up insight into the impending game engine changes, but allows users to check system performance to see if the new engine run optimally on their system.

CPUs are designed with memory latencies in mind when clocking at a certain clock - the current comparison at slightly different clocks is still perfectly valid for IPC.RSAUser - Monday, July 8, 2019 - link
Then show a power difference since the 9900K is double the draw...Mugur - Monday, July 8, 2019 - link
Done by other sites / youtube channels (at 4 Ghz). Ryzen 3000 is destroying Intel at the same clock.isthisavailable - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
With improved 7nm+ process for next gen, AMD can hit 5ghz and take the single core crown.Maxiking - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Just like they did with the 14nm+ aka 12nm.Just like they were supposed to do with this gen.
But, but, but..?

Actually that’s a bad example because we did see 200-300mhz bumps each generation between Ryzen 1000 and 3000. At that pace it’s possible to see a 5ghz turbo next generation, or be close enough.If you’re saying that everyone expected 5ghz with Ryzen 2000, then yes, if that’s true then those people were being unreasonable. At this point though it’s not a big leap.

It is a perfectly valid example, the bump between 1st gen and 2ng gen ryzen was 200mhz. Max OC on 1st gen was 4.1ghz, the max on the 2nd gen was 4.3ghz.There is no bump this year. I am highly skeptical they would be able to reach 4.6ghz on all cores with 7 nm+ next year. TSMC nodes are nothing special, you hit the wall and you are done regardless of voltage used.

last year we had 3.7/4.3ghz as the flagship Ryzen 7 desktop. This year we get 3.9/4.5ghz in Ryzen 7 and up to 4.7ghz single threaded in Ryzen 9.These parts are well beyond anything we saw in the 2000 series, to claim there has been no frequency improvement is disingenuous at best. Going to 5ghz is just a small process tweak away this time.
Maxiking - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Yeah and we were promised 3900x boosting up to 4.6ghz and it barely boost to 4.2ghz and can be manually overclocked to 4.3ghz.I will believe when I see it.
So no, there is no frequency boost with these chips.
Mugur - Monday, July 8, 2019 - link
You are wrong, 3900 is boosting to 4.55-4.6 single core all day.
