The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Review: 16 Cores on 7nm with PCIe 4.0
by Dr. Ian Cutress on November 14, 2019 9:00 AM ESTGaming: 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.

That's a good thingI hope we scrap out gold awards in all together
Only recommended is what matters

No brown envelope at the usual deadrop.Irata - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Just curious: Were the Intel systems fully patched, including the new JCC Microcode update ?ydeer - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Excellent question.Ian Cutress - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Did I run 30hr+ of tests on each of those Intel processors with a patch from an announcement 24 hours prior? No, of course not.Irata - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
I did not expect this to be honest. Must not be fun testing with the different security related updates from Intel or Bios patches from AMD that come out regularly.Might be worth adding a mention to the review since the JCC and Zombieload 2 updates can have a performance impact (as per Phoronix).

Oh, and not to be rude - thank you very much for this through review Ian.Flying Aardvark - Friday, November 15, 2019 - link
Can you at notate that in the review in large bold print, and that it's likely to affect performance, possibly dramatically for the Intel CPUs?lukx - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
what where the temperatures? can you use air cooling?
