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.

So results for Intel chips are completely invalid then.futrtrubl - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
You will need to have to explain that then. Comparing Intel with mitigations vs AMD with mitigations.djayjp - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
No. Fallout/ZombieLoad does not affect AMD chips.djayjp - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Intel performance will suffer whereas AMD's won't be affected.WaltC - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
Ha-ha...;) So because AMD has a newer architecture without most of the vulnerabilities that plague Intel's ancient CPU architectures--it should be held against AMD? Rubbish...;) Look, what is unfair about testing both architectures/cpus with all the mitigations that each *requires*? I can't see a thing wrong with it--it's perfect, in fact.extide - Sunday, July 7, 2019 - link
They tested Intel WITHOUT Fallout/ZombieLoad which would affect them. Probably not by much, though, honestly.RSAUser - Monday, July 8, 2019 - link
Well the results are close enough for a lot of tests to be error margin, that the mitigation would put AMD in the lead.The tests should reflect real world as of when the article is published, using old results without declaring that Intel doesn't have mitigation applied on every page is the equivalent of falsifying the results as people will buy based on these tests.

"using old results without declaring that Intel doesn't have mitigation applied on every page is the equivalent of falsifying the results as people will buy based on these tests."Oh, that's just inane. They quite openly state the exact test specification on the "Test Bed and Setup" page, including which mitigations are applied. Arguing that not putting one particular piece of information on every page means it's the equivalent of falsifying the results is completely ridiculous.

How many go through the test bed set up page?Meteor2 - Sunday, July 14, 2019 - link
Pretty much everyone reading such an in-depth review, I should think.
