New "proper" Intel Core i9 9900K vs AMD Ryzen 7 2700X benchmarks released across 19 games

DSOGaming writes: "A few days ago, Principled Technologies released some inaccurate benchmarks between the upcoming Intel Core i9 9900K CPU and the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. Principled Technologies used the Game Mode for AMD’s CPU which basically halved its available CPU cores, resulting in some really underwhelming and “fake” results. And after a huge backlash, the company went ahead and re-tested the games without this mode."

How people are still buying products from this "industry leader". I hope AMD cleans up for years to come.

That makes two of us. Especially when amd is competing and in some cases surpassing intel at a fraction of the cost. It's why I've been team amd for awhile now cant wait to see they're next gen gpus

Depends on your purpose of I purely gamed on my pc I'd honestly just get the 8700 at a steep discount especially when next gen 10nm processors from Intel will potentially be out this year.

But I often create a fair few virtualised server environments outside of games my machine is a workhorse so I'd take the i9 with its hyoerthreading any day of the week

@Profchaos The 10nm chips are already confirmed to NOT be coming out this year.

Game mode hurts performance in games?

Weeblordbad2445d ago

It's a feature intended for their Threadripper processors, not the mainstream Ryzen processors.

Not sure what games you're playing to average 5 to 6 hours battery. Mariokart World and Zelda gets 2 and a half hours max.

not sure if its a successor or an upgrade.

and theres no way u get 5 hours.

1nsomniac11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Yea don’t think id get 6 hours in sleep mode!

I think there’s a lot of internal software issues with the battery management.

Sleep mode kills the battery almost as quick as playing games does. Playing switch 1 games seems to kill the battery faster than playing switch 2 games for the most part. Even playing a very, very basic switch 1 game seems to drain the battery much faster than I would expect it to.
