Gaming, graphics tests and PC/3DMark
The 10th generation of Intel Core processors, called Comet Lake-S, is the latest iteration of Skylake and, unlike the mobile Ice Lake, is still 14 nm. However, this constant tuning of this manufacturing process has resulted in record frequencies that are specifically related to the most powerful processor currently in the LGA 1200 socket. Now the only question is whether this will be enough for the Ryzen 9 3900X.
Far Cry 5
Performance in games and graphics tests has always been a strength of Intel, and a high fps test in Far Cry 5 only confirms this. High Core i9 clock speed makes a high lead in minimum, average and maximum fps. The nearly 40 fps difference in the minimum is really large and coincidentally this means that Intel did not go lower than the AMD average. The 40 fps difference was also preserved in the average values which I would call demolition. This is where Intel really shows its power to the fullest.
Unigine Heaven and Superposition
Further graphics tests at high fps confirm the findings from Far Cry. Heaven shows a difference of 25 fps at 350, which is only 8%, but on fast monitors like this Alienware it can also help. In Superposition, the difference is 17 fps and thus 9% lead by Intel.
PCMark and 3DMark
Intel maintained an 8% lead in PCMark, but 3DMark Firestrike was very tight with only a 2% lead for the blue team.
