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.

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.
