Core i9-10900KF vs Ryzen 9 3900X: 3DMark Performance

The reputable insider known as Rogame has once again delighted the public with new performance leaks for Intel's top-tier 10-core Core i9-10900KF processor. According to a Twitter post, the unlocked Intel chip closely approached its rival, AMD's 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X, in the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark:

Here are the scores for all tested systems:

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (DDR4-3800 / 32GB) - 13650 points
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (DDR4-3400 / 32GB) - 13193 points
Intel Core i9-10900K (DDR4-2666 / 64GB) - 13142 points
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (DDR4-3200 / 32GB) - 12857 points
Intel Core i9-10900KF (DDR4-2400 / 16GB) - 12412 points

As you may have noticed, the RAM speed in the tested systems varies significantly. However, it's important to understand that this experiment was likely conducted with "whatever was available and in the shortest possible time." Considering that the "blue giant's" processors tend to support much higher RAM frequencies, we can already assume that Intel chips will once again be slightly ahead in gaming due to higher core/RAM frequencies.

But this good news isn't without its downsides. According to some sources, while Intel processors offer slightly better per-core performance, they will also run significantly hotter than their competitor's chips. This presents enthusiasts with a tough dilemma: AMD's moderate power consumption or Intel's 5-10% performance boost.

We'll learn more about the new 10th-gen Intel Core chips in April.
