David OC Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Man intel is losing the plot or what? Getting a little scared perhaps, after sitting on top for so long and now have nothing to go against AMD's tech. Not allowing comparisons and moved the launch back behind AMD's already public announced launch. The bean counters seem to be grasping. Linus and jayztwocents gives it to them in their latest vids. Looking forward to checking out the new AMD Threadripper On the 25th. 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 3950X 7nm Zen 2 microarchitecture, and they feature a total of 72 usable PCIe 4.0 lanes.

BitMaster Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Yep, it finally happened ! AMD is already ahead in IPC with their current lineup and it will shift into 5th gear in 2020 leaving Intel even further behind. A Ryzen 9 3950X Desktop chip from AMD beats Intel's best Core i9-10980XE HEDT chip. That's how far it has come. BTW, that AMD chip is only 3/4 of the Intel chip price tag. in 2021 we will see them both rivaling with the best both can offer, right now, you'd be almost a fool to go Intel.

tintifaxl Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Good times ahead! We'll see affordable megamulticore cpus in the very near future. High time to utilize those cores in DCS! Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor.
Gnadentod Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Well, that's what you get building CIA/NSA backdoor after backdoor in your CPUs since Skylake. Ooops did I just say that? My bad. My 3800X is right next to me.

Sn8ke_iis Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Who is buying a $750-$1000 CPU to play DCS? DCS players and gamers should be looking at Intel's 9700K/9900K or AMD's 3600X/3700X for this build season. I'm all for competition, Intel already had to lower their prices but, let's not get carried away here guys. 9900K has been out for over a year now. That's a long time in computer time. The KS version - which is overpriced - is just a top percentile bin of the 9900K. I bought one of those last year through Silicon Lottery that's stable on all 8 cores at 5.0 GHz for a $50 premium. Intel's stockholders and engineers aren't just going to give up and say "AMD wins" because AMD finally caught up over a year later. We'll have the next gen from Intel by this time next year. Linus and Jay know what they are doing when they create videos like this. More views=More $ for them. They are just creating drama for ratings to justify higher costs for their commercials and sell merchandise. That Linus video has over 2,000,000 views already. How does Intel lifting the NDA before AMD's prevent him or Jay from comparing processors? It's just an inconvenience for them to create content. Jay was ranting about the box it came in. Who cares? Since the 2080 Ti came out there hasn't been much to make videos about until now. We should all be very happy that this is the best time ever, ever to buy a CPU for gaming. But, lets keep our eye on the ball here guys. The benchmarks that Linus did still had the 9900KS winning in single thread and gaming performance benchmarks. All those productivity benchmarks for HEDTs aren't really relevant to most DCS users except in rare use cases. Here are all the objective benchmarks and ratings that I could find with a quick search. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-cpus,3986.html https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/ https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html Gamer's Nexus 2019 CPU awards: Best Overall: AMD 3600 (low cost too!) Best Gaming: Intel 9900K I wouldn't worry about multi-core performance for Vulkun till there's actually a DCS build that uses it. By then there will be another generation of processors out. Team Blue, Team Red whatever...A build with a 9900 or 3700 would probably be within the margin of error for DCS framerates. Edit: Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

Gnadentod Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) those backdoors were there much before that. Since I don't intend to derail the thread completely, I'll just give a short: Yes the harmless prototype ones, the ugly ones arrived around the Skylake lineup. This stuff has the tendency to frighten the forever-children, so I didn't went all-in right from the start. Edited November 29, 2019 by Der Hirte
