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.

depends on your development needs: in the article is states dual-channel memory. Not 4 or 6 channel.Spunjji - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
I have a question about the power numbers - do they look significantly different with only one thread loaded per core?ksec - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
If we look at the benchmark running on Open Source program, it is clear AMD tends to have a much higher chance of performance being on par or beating Intel. I wonder how much optimisation from compiler to other library giving advantage to Intel and not to AMD.Maxiking - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Pretty sad cpu, bottlenecking ancient 1080gtx at 1080p. Just lolQasar - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
come on maxiking, the 9xxx cpu's are that bad.. after all they need the extra frequency just to keep what little performance advantage they, at times, barely still have.stux - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Great review, but where are the compilation benchmarks?Ian Cutress - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
I was having issues getting the benchmark to work on Win 10 1909, and didn't have time to debug and retest. I'm hoping to fix it for the next benchmark suite update.stux - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Thanks Ian, looking forward to the update.kc77 - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
I don't see the TDP comparisons with the Intel rig. Are they there? I see AMD TDP mentioned but not the Intel parts.willis936 - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
I moved to the midwest recently and I have to wonder: Who is christ and why does everyone care what CPU he has?
