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: Far Cry 5
The latest title in Ubisoft's Far Cry series lands us right into the unwelcoming arms of an armed militant cult in Montana, one of the many middles-of-nowhere in the United States. With a charismatic and enigmatic adversary, gorgeous landscapes of the northwestern American flavor, and lots of violence, it is classic Far Cry fare. Graphically intensive in an open-world environment, the game mixes in action and exploration.
Far Cry 5 does support Vega-centric features with Rapid Packed Math and Shader Intrinsics. Far Cry 5 also supports HDR (HDR10, scRGB, and FreeSync 2). We use the in-game benchmark for our data, and report the average/minimum frame rates.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

Why is the Ryzen 3700X is missing from so many charts through the article, including the final 2019 performance vs price chart? And it's already about time to have tested the 3600 too.Ian Cutress - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Gavin tested the chips for the 3900X/3700X review. I've done this review with updated OS. Plus I've been moving house, and everything is still in boxes.Adonisds - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Is the 4.7 GHz boost fake news?Total Meltdowner - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
AMD is like Trump here, telling the truth.III-V - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Unlike Trump though, the truth doesn't even matter here. Performance is all that matters, not a completely irrelevant numberIan Cutress - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
There's a page that covers it.Irata - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Just checked two other reviews (so far)- Hexus reached 4,665.54 Mhz
and bit-tech stated "With a 4.7GHz boost, which we actually saw regularly, it wasn't surprising to see the Ryzen 9 3950X top the Cinebench single-threaded test,"

Is the Intel 9980XE pricing correct in the 2019 CPU Performance chart? It appears on Intel's web site to be $1979-1999, and the cheapest I found it online was on sale at Amazon for $1949.
