Can It Beat Ryzen 9?
With all that out of the way, let’s get into the results.
Meanwhile enabling MCE boosted performance by a further 5% which is pretty typical for this setting.
But before we draw any serious conclusions, let’s move on to check out a lot more data.
The 10900K is very strong in single core performance, thanks to that 5.3 GHz clock frequency.
It’s also an 8% improvement over the 9900K which tops out at 5 GHz.
So again not a great place for Intel’s new flagship desktop offering to be at.
Despite that though the 3900X was 55% faster than the 10900K.
Stock though it was 10% slower.
So a decent result and certainly a big performance uplift from the 9900K.
So if you’re after every last bit of performance in Photoshop the 10900K is the way to go.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint isn’t a particularly CPU demanding title.
Let’s check out the average of the seven games.
Operating temperatures were recorded during our Blender stress test, with the Corsair Hydro H150i Pro installed.
The question now is, should you buy it?
Let’s start by addressing that question based purely on the performance we’ve seen so far.
In fact, for the vast majority of games it’ll simply be impossible.
Not to mention that the 7% difference was seen at 1080p with an RTX 2080 Ti.
Who should want to buy the 10900K?
In other markets like Australia, we’re seeing pricing that is ~30% more than the 3900X.
That’s a massive price premium that it’s simply not worth paying.
