CPU Performance: SPEC 1T
A popular industry standard comparison tool between processors are the range of SPEC benchmarks. We use SPEC2006 and SPEC2017 in our major microarchitecture analysis pieces as a way to determine where certain processors might be bottlenecked given a particular microprocessor design decision. For the purposes of this review, we are looking at the aggregate results between some of the other processors we have tested, given that this benchmark has only recently rolled into our regular suite.
All the sub-tests for our SPEC runs are provided in our benchmark database, Bench.

Aside - I just priced up the 3600, 3700x, 10600k and 10900k in the UK.Oh dear Intel. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
And that's before you talk about cooling. My word.

Half claimed that author is an AMD shill? I only saw one lol, in the entire comment section, keep living in your fantasies, shillBesides, what danny said is true, the price listed on this article is highly misleading, 3900X can be found for low 400$, and the 488$ for 10900K is a bulk price, this place is going downhill ever since the purch dudes or whatever their names are right now bought anandtech lol

Are you OK?trivik12 - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
terrible product but its still impressive that it has single core performance to hold against latest Ryzen processor. I wonder when Rocketlake will release and then hopefully we see 10/7nm desktop in 2022 at least.At least Tigerlake in notebook looks good as clockspeeds are up big time and icelake already has shown good single threaded performance. Tigerlake-H/U/Y should be welcome additions.

Reminds me of back when Steve Jobs went on stage and talking about how the advertisement team got inspired by how hot Intel chips ran compared to IBM's Power chips and showed this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g15RwcVMXsc
Replace the "Apple Computer" bit with AMD and it's almost applicable today

Great cpu, god bless Intel, AMD duct tape technology demolished in gaming again. How does Intel keep doing it? It is like watching magician pulling rabbits out of a hat!Dug - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Except several show the 9900k better than their new cpu! How is that magic?Beany2013 - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
Magical *thinking* dug. You know, not based in reality.
