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: Shadow of War
Next up is Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the sequel to Shadow of Mordor. Developed by Monolith, whose last hit was arguably F.E.A.R., Shadow of Mordor returned them to the spotlight with an innovative NPC rival generation and interaction system called the Nemesis System, along with a storyline based on J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, and making it work on a highly modified engine that originally powered F.E.A.R. in 2005.
Using the new LithTech Firebird engine, Shadow of War improves on the detail and complexity, and with free add-on high-resolution texture packs, offers itself as a good example of getting the most graphics out of an engine that may not be bleeding edge. Shadow of War also supports HDR (HDR10).

Did you bother to read Andrei F's twitter post regarding the Bios update - it includes a nice graph where you can see the 3900x's cores boosting to what looks like 4.6 Ghz.Xyler94 - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
Oh god, you're still on about that?Intel doesn't guarantee boost clocks. It's literally on their website. The only guarantee is base clocks. Boost clocks depend on cooling and power delivery.

While 3900X vs i9-7920K and 3700X vs i7-9900K is a no-brainer, i would really wanna see how performs (overclocked) 3600 vs this bunch of CPUs.This will help making some interesting decisions for optimizing budged.

Are these benchmarks of Intel CPUs after applying all the patches released so far for addressing vulnerabilities?GreenReaper - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 - link
The BIOS in the Intel motherboards tested are from 2018; most appear to only have microcode to handle Meltdown/Spectre (despite the availability of BIOS versions that would work). So... no.beginning - Thursday, July 11, 2019 - link
Thank you for your responseMeteor2 - Monday, July 15, 2019 - link
No; they didn't retest the Intels on Windows 10 1903, which includes the OS-side patches for the MDS flaws. The motherboard firmware patches may never come.This really does invalidate the Intel numbers, but it's not critical: on a up-to-date system, they'll be slower, and Ryzen 3000 even further ahead.

Will there be updated OC results with the new bios?
