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: Strange Brigade (DX12, Vulkan)
Strange Brigade is based in 1903’s Egypt and follows a story which is very similar to that of the Mummy film franchise. This particular third-person shooter is developed by Rebellion Developments which is more widely known for games such as the Sniper Elite and Alien vs Predator series. The game follows the hunt for Seteki the Witch Queen who has arose once again and the only ‘troop’ who can ultimately stop her. Gameplay is cooperative centric with a wide variety of different levels and many puzzles which need solving by the British colonial Secret Service agents sent to put an end to her reign of barbaric and brutality.
The game supports both the DirectX 12 and Vulkan APIs and houses its own built-in benchmark which offers various options up for customization including textures, anti-aliasing, reflections, draw distance and even allows users to enable or disable motion blur, ambient occlusion and tessellation among others. AMD has boasted previously that Strange Brigade is part of its Vulkan API implementation offering scalability for AMD multi-graphics card configurations.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

I tend to agree, they can low ball AMD for a few years until the catch up. Assuming they completely screw up the 10 nm deployment going into 2022. It takes 3-5 years for for an industry to fully adopt switch course on a mainstream microprocessor.Korguz - Tuesday, November 26, 2019 - link
" they can low ball AMD for a few years until they catch up " not if their investors and shareholders have anything to say about that......Chaitanya - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
Impressive to say the least.Paul-RP12 - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
Intel destroyed. This is the end, this is the sunset of the empireyankeeDDL - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
I wonder how long will it take Intel to go fabless. Now, that would be a shift ... I think it is inevitable.milkywayer - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
That's what you get for milking the same s****y 4 core cpus for years until the competition not only catches up but also surpasses you. Intel deserved every bich slap this year from AMD.Paul-RP12 - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
Intel has no chance. they do not have an effective architecture, they do not have a modern technical process. They are hopelessly behind. 3970x of 2000 usd upside about 20% (in applications that use all the cores) Xeon W-3175X of 3000 usd. Its so crazy!!TEAMSWITCHER - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
Intel's quarterly profit is still more than AMD's revenue. AMD can't make enough products to change that.eva02langley - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
I said 10 years last year... so maybe around 9 now.niva - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
I hope they never go fabless, it will be a big problem for consumers in the end... unfortunately it may happen.
