Encryption, encoding and memory tests
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.
Decryption and encryption
1 GB decryption/encryption suits Intel, which has fewer threads, more and when using 16 GB of RAM, threads aren’t waiting empty like with AMD that is bottlenecked by low RAM capacity.
Encoding
No bottleneck happens when encoding which shows the power of AMD in MC apps with 17 % lead in H264 and 9 % in H265.
Memory tests
Surprising results are higher speeds of 3900X when reading, writing and copying in memory tests. I really didn’t expect that. On the contrary, the significantly lower latency on Intel is not a surprise.
