The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X destroys Intel Core i9-10980XE in benchmarks

In the coming month, AMD has a lot for those who are looking for high-performance CPUs targeting content-creators, developers, enthusiasts and gamers. The Red team is going to launch the 16 core Ryzen 9 3950X flagship as well as the 3rd Gen Threadripper lineup rumoured to be packing up to 64 cores.

To fight back AMD, Intel Cascade Lake-X processors are priced half rather than their Skylake predecessors. As the launch is near, we are getting more leaks on these new HEDT processors based on AMD’s very successful Zen 2 microarchitecture.

A very well known Twitter source has shared the Geekbench and 3DMark score of the new AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and compared against the Intel Core i9-10980XE. The 16 core monster readily beats Intel’s 18 core CPU which almost costs $1,000 more than the Ryzen 9 3950X which can even be used on a cheaper B450 motherboard.

3DMark Physics benchmarks

Looking at the scores we see the graphics used in two of the tests are different so we do not take that into account rather we consider the Physics score as it is a CPU bound test. The Ryzen 9 3950X scores 32,082 points, on the other hand, the Core i9-10980XE scores only 25,838 points trailing behind by a huge margin.

It is surprising to see that even Intel’s robust 18 cores failed to match the performance of AMD’s latest 16 cores. This might be due to the lower clock speeds and due to the age-old 14nm architecture results that its high-end flagship is falling behind a CPU that doesn’t even cost $1000.

Geekbench benchmarks

No Geekbench results of the Intel Core i9-10980XE have been found so comparing with the older i9-9980XE will give us a rough idea how its catches up against the latest AMD counterpart. The newer i9-10980XE doesn’t have much difference with its predecessor coming with the same core counts, process and architecture.

We see the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X wins in both the single-threaded as well as multi-threaded benchmarks against Intel who really boast for its superior single-threaded performance.

Maybe the newer Core i9-10980XE might be an improved one but seeing the previous benchmarks we can assume it to be falling behind in Geekbench as well, which makes a fair decision for Intel to cut prices of their high-end desktop lineup.
