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: 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.

If that's how you feel just go to another website, why even bother posting here?stux - Monday, November 25, 2019 - link
I must admit I’m saddened by the lack of compiler benchmarks. Who cares about gaming benchmarks on a workstation processor.Meanwhile actually benchmarks which may affect serious purchasers are missing

Another vote for compilation. Ability to take advantage of more cores is a complex equation depending on caching, i/o, and memory access, so it would be informative to see some comparisons done.Lux88 - Tuesday, November 26, 2019 - link
Another vote for compilation. Should be relatively easily scriptlable too. Linux kernel compiles under half a minute, but Chromium or Firefox should still be big enough. Additionally there's .NET, could be an interesting data point.GreenReaper - Tuesday, November 26, 2019 - link
PostgreSQL database work? It can parallelize quite nicely now, especially with PG12.PeachNCream - Tuesday, November 26, 2019 - link
Yup, one more +1 for compiler benchmarks and for the lack of relevance of gaming benchmarks.peevee - Tuesday, November 26, 2019 - link
Agree. Compiler, CADs etc must be here, games and self-made tests and useless PI calculators should not.Supercell99 - Tuesday, November 26, 2019 - link
Would like to see how it runs some VMware ESXi loads as well.cosecant - Tuesday, November 26, 2019 - link
Another vote for compilation, go or c++, as well as database tests, CAD of some kind, and virtualization (bonus points for docker or Kubernetes as well)... however... please don’t remove all the gaming benchmarks... I might be in the minority, but I like to be able to game or work on the same machine...Supercell99 - Tuesday, November 26, 2019 - link
Yea more HEDT testing applicable. Gaming on this chip is not the intent.
