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.

As the review points out, it's also hard to measure burst frequency. The harder you try, the more you skew the result, too. The CPU could very well be hitting 4.7 briefly in variable workloads on the hot core... although maybe other samples hit it more often or for slightly longer periods of time.III-V - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
For real. It's the performance that matters, not some number with zero real world meaning.Marlin1975 - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Wow thats a lot of CPU for not much when you compare it against the competition and how much others cost.I am surprised the dual channel memory does not hold it back more.

That's exactly what I was thinking. An incredable feat to score about double compaired with a 3700x, with twice the cores, twice the power envelope but the same memory bandwidth. What are those embedded Epyc chips (3000 series) doing with quad channel DDR4?brantron - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Zen 1 and Broadwell have higher memory bandwidth than Skylake-X at low thread counts.Broadwell D is still updated almost annually High memory bandwidth at low power is apparently somebody's thing.

Based on you geomean chart, it looks like on 7nm, Intel chips would destroy AMD's, and there's a real possibility Intel's 10 nm chips will be competitive in price & superior in performance if Intel prices them to compete.Silma - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Anyway, congrats to AMD and thanks for heating the competition again.naxeem - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Intel can't really do much. They have nothing in the pipeline.Teckk - Thursday, November 14, 2019 - link
Destroy is probably too strong? AMD will be on TSMCs 5 nm plus their new designs so they'll mostly be on par or in the same situation as today.
