The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X and 3970X Review: 24 and 32 Cores on 7nm
by Dr. Ian Cutress, Andrei Frumusanu & Gavin Bonshor on November 25, 2019 9:05 AM ESTGaming: 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.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

So...at what point will these and other recent results end up in the Bench DB?JEmlay - Thursday, February 6, 2020 - link
I have a 9900K and 3970X side by side and my findings are much different. The 3970X destroys the 9900K in every way. Are you sure you're using the memory properly in the AMD machine? Make sure you're running at least 3600 with 1:1 FClock. Then out of nowhere an Intel 7960X destroys the AMD 3970X? No way.Janie Durham - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
