About this deal

Finally, intel seems to have used the same core design to bin the different skus. Meaning all the chips have space for the igpu and avx512. For the lower skus, they fused off cores, and for the f skus, they fused off the igpu. Rather than having just one core design, especially one with space for an igpu, why didn’t Intel have an additional cypress cove core design without the igpu so that it could have added more cores? Many enthusiasts don’t need a chip with an igpu as they have a dedicated gpu. Ryzen 5000 chips don’t have an igpu and yet the 5900x and 5950x destroy intel. Not sure why they didn’t put the space they had to better use. Overall, there's little contest to be shown here; overwhelmingly, the Intel Core i9-12900K, with its 16 available cores and 24 available threads, was able to beat out the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X's 32 threads in almost every content-creation task we threw its way. And that's without Thread Director in play. That increased IPC improvements, along with the massive turbo boost of 4.6GHz mean that even in single core performance – long a weak link of AMD’s processors – comes within reaching distance of Team Blue’s chips. Note: All of these test runs above were performed on their respective AMD and Intel testbeds under Windows 10.) When it comes to encoding a 12-minute 4K video to 1080p using the open-source Handbrake app, the difference between the Core i9-9900K and the Ryzen 9 3900X is no small difference, either...

The two review units are running the exact same RTX 3070 Nvidia dGPU at up to 150W of power with Dynamic Boost and in a MUX design, so in theory, I’d expect minimal differences in games between the two platforms. However, we’re seeing a variation in results in real-life tests. TIE: Intel Core i9-12900K wins for Windows 11 users, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X wins for cost-conscious content creators Ryzen 9’s Zen 4 cores are all the same, though still incredibly powerful and multi-threaded. Let’s have a look at how these differences in architecture affect performance. Ryzen 9 vs Intel i9 – Performance

Language

The next batch of work-related loads showcases the difference between the two in creative activities. Turbo mode While AMD does pip Intel at the highest level, for the less expensive CPUs in the Ryzen 9 and Intel i9 ranges, those from Intel tend to offer similar single-core performance for a slightly lower price, and often significantly better multi-core performance. Keep in mind, however, that if you’re building a gaming PC multi-core performance is less important. Ryzen 9 vs Intel i9 – Compatibility The AMD Ryzen 9 3900X is an absolute behemoth of a processor, as it absolutely should be with its 12 cores, 24 threads and high price tag. If you’re looking for the absolute best processor money can buy on a mainstream processor, then look no further. Whether you’re playing PC games or even doing hardcore video and 3D work, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X can handle them with ease. Finally, there’s the Silent mode, where the AMD platform wins by a major margin, but it also runs at higher power than the Intel model (45W vs 30W). That’s most likely due to the difference in software settings at the times we’ve reviewed the two (we tested the Intel model earlier in the year). Nonetheless, the AMD platform would have an advantage over the Intel hardware anyway if both were to run at 45W of power.

The Core i9-12900K is Intel's first truly innovative high-end desktop CPU in years, showing great potential in its performance/efficiency mixed-core design and support for DDR5 memory. Just expect a high initial cost of adoption—and, perhaps, some PC-gaming growing pains.TIE: Intel Core i9-12900K wins on new features and added flexibility, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X wins on cost of adoption

Most of the market wants the low power features of the iGPU, especially for mobile devices (that some of them do use desktop CPUs now) but even on desktop, being able to sync a movie to any device in super speed without even bothering the CPU and using extremely low power is more appealing to some people then being able to do 3d rendering faster...because nobody in the desktop market does 3D, nobody being the amount of people that buy 5900 and 5950, it's a small amount of people.The top tier 13th Gen Intel Core i9 and the latest AMD Ryzen 9 processors are the best processors available right now and both are continuously competing for the top spot claiming to be the ultimate performance king. Users and constantly arguing and comparing AMD Ryzen 9 vs Intel Core i9. We’re able to analyze the two CPUs and their behavior on benchmarks, workloads, and games, but we’re also discussing the efficiency of the two platforms and the differences in thermals between the two in demanding loads. Just as it is with desktops, at the heart of every laptop computer is a central processing unit (CPU), commonly called a processor or a chip, that's responsible for nearly everything that goes on inside. The CPUs you'll find in current laptops are made by AMD, Intel, Apple, and Qualcomm. The options may seem endless and their names byzantine. But choosing one is easier than you think, once you know a few CPU ground rules. Intel’s core counts aren’t directly comparable to AMD’s due to their various capabilities and the latter’s new hybrid architecture with two separate sorts of cores. The worth of the overall designs will be determined by our performance outcomes. AMD Ryzen 9 vs Intel Core i9: Gaming Benchmarks It's impressive that AMD has wrung so much performance out of its 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X, yet still manages to consume far less power than Intel's eight-core model. That benefit comes via TSMC's 7nm process, while Intel's 14nm process has obviously reached the end of the road in terms of absolute performance and efficiency.
