Xe-LP GPU Performance: F1 2019
The F1 racing games from Codemasters have been popular benchmarks in the tech community, mostly for ease-of-use and that they seem to take advantage of any area of a machine that might be better than another. The 2019 edition of the game features all 21 circuits on the calendar, and includes a range of retro models and DLC focusing on the careers of Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. Built on the EGO Engine 3.0, the game has been criticized similarly to most annual sports games, by not offering enough season-to-season graphical fidelity updates to make investing in the latest title worth it, however the 2019 edition revamps up the Career mode, with features such as in-season driver swaps coming into the mix. The quality of the graphics this time around is also superb, even at 4K low or 1080p Ultra.
To be honest, F1 benchmarking has been up and down in any given year. Since at least 2014, the benchmark has revolved around a ‘test file’, which allows you to set what track you want, which driver to control, what weather you want, and which cars are in the field. In previous years I’ve always enjoyed putting the benchmark in the wet at Spa-Francorchamps, starting the fastest car at the back with a field of 19 Vitantonio Liuzzis on a 2-lap race and watching sparks fly. In some years, the test file hasn’t worked properly, with the track not being able to be changed.
For our test, we put Alex Albon in the Red Bull in position #20, for a dry two-lap race around Austin.
In this case, at 1080p Ultra, AMD and Intel (28W) are matched. Unfortunately looking through the data, the 15 W test run crashed and we only noticed after we returned the system.

What really concerns me is this Intel Tiger is built on a 10mm process that looks like it is as good or better than the TSMC 7nm process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nm_process. They do not talk about the +++ superfin variants for node density. We need Super Navi to fight against this. We know for laptops or gaming, nobody can touch big navi. Nvidia cannot. It will be much faster I think than 3090 or even 4090 by everything I see. Nvidia might be out of their league finally and put into their place. I would not be surprised to see Big Navi designs at 150w with 10x the speed.Rtx dude - Monday, September 28, 2020 - link
3090 is twice the size of 3080. So, it will ebd big NAVI in performance and bebchmarksShowtime - Friday, September 18, 2020 - link
Sorry, but with your name alone, we can't take anything you say seriously.MrVibrato - Saturday, September 19, 2020 - link
Oh, but there are quite a few who couldn't resist the bait. Which, and this is one of my guilty pleasures, makes for entertaining reading...hecksagon - Friday, September 18, 2020 - link
He's referencing the performance improvement we will see in AMD's integrated graphics once the architectural improvements from Big Navi trickle down.dotjaz - Friday, September 18, 2020 - link
In the meantime, Intel wins for the next 8 months or so. We don't even know if Van Gogh can beat TGL yet.Spunjji - Friday, September 18, 2020 - link
That's a charitable interpretation, but actually this account is just a sockpuppet for an Intel shill who got tired of waiting for AMD fanboys to show up and so made one of their own. Everything they post is nonsensical junk.AMDSuperFan - Monday, September 21, 2020 - link
Even as a superfan it seems obvious that our amd cannot fight against this new technology. How is a usurper faster than us on video for gaming? As the owner of ATI, we are a video gaming company. Nvidia with their Voodoo 2 technology has nothing on ATI. My 7900 card is still fast for many games even today - but the same cannot be said for Voodoo 2 cards. But we have big things on the future and we should get back our championship in 2022.PixyMisa - Thursday, September 17, 2020 - link
This was almost funny once.SarahKerrigan - Thursday, September 17, 2020 - link
Big Navi is a multi-hundred-watt dGPU. This is a laptop processor. They don't compete with each other at all.
