by this time you guys may have seen all the Zen 2 reviews out there and at least around here the studio I could really only get my 3700 X and also the 3900 x2 4.3 gigahertz all call clocks the 9900 K it does go to 5 gigahertz but for a while you guys have asked me to clock these CPUs at the same levels and check out performance and today that's exactly what we're going to do we were putting the 9900 K at 4 gigahertz and also the 3700 X F 4 gigahertz to see how they perform in both productivity and gaming numbers now for the memory I am using 3600 CL 16 memory then for the GPU we've gotten our TX 20 atti there let's pull up some benchmarks for you guys though before we do that a quick message from today's video sponsor wins if you guys want to make a professional looking website they cost absolutely nothing then check out the link in the description below for me personally I started using this it's so easy to build a website whether you're a professional or a beginner who hasn't built a website before using the integrated tools that they have available simply drag and drop things in that you like and don't like and pretty much the Builder will do all the heavy work for you and then leave you with a final product that looks professional and more importantly doesn't cost you anything at all if you guys are anything into desktop PCs or even informational for that matter then you can get building today using the link in the description below Wix comm slash go slash tech yes city with that aside let's get back to the video so getting into the gaming benchmarks first I thought it would be a one-way landslide in terms of Zen to since we saw in my initial review that I did that AMD had an IPC advantage over Intel so putting these CPUs both at 4 gigahertz at least in the case of Tom Clancy's the division 2 will pull up the first game where we saw that the Intel even at 4 gigahertz was scoring slightly higher FPS than that of the 3700 X the 1% in point 1 cent loads we're looking perfectly normal though moving over to csgo here is a game that sort of makes this whole thing a lot more interesting because we see here that the 3700 X she came out with the victory here when both these CPUs were four gigahertz 475 average FPS 114 one percent load 92 point one percent load their movie over to Intel they got 451 average FPS scoring about 25 fps lower than that of the 3700 X and now here's the kicker with csgo I've done a heap of latency testing here on the channel with a thousand FPS camera and this game is a very responsive engine so if anything looking into the latency situation Zen 2 has definitely made a lot of improvements in terms of reducing the latency on their CPU architecture and this means that it's showing through in a game like csgo where AMD have gone back to the developers and re optimized that title for their CPU architecture and it's showing with the victory that's relating to the IPC gains that we saw and say for instance the Cinebench ah xx which will pull up later but this was the one title that showed the true potential in my opinion of the 3,700 X over the 9900 K but moving on now to GTA 5 here we see the swings slightly in favor of the Intel scoring 162 average FPS and then going over to the 3700 X 158 average FPS very close but again this is a game that is quite a few years old and I don't believe that AMD have gone back with the developers and reoptimize this game for their architecture but it is good to see that Zen 2 is keeping up with the 9900 K next up is dota 2 with the graphical settings Mac's completely and we see here we've got 207 average FPS on the 9900 K versus 200 on the 3700 X both at 4 gigahertz the one percent and point one percent lows are looking very similar to so it's pretty much an even match in this game and to my knowledge and II have gone back and reoptimize this title but of course just going back and reoptimize in a title may not show the true potential of that CPU since the game at least in previous testing I've done on OpenGL on Linux actually runs a lot better than it does on Windows 10 regardless of the API in Windows 10 next up we got shadow of the Tomb Raider dx11 1080p high settings we see here 109 average FPS 57 minimum and then over to the 3700 X 95 average 40 I find this one the most odd out of the bunch since I do believe AMD did work with the developers of shadow of the Tomb Raider to make it optimized for their gear but maybe that was just on the GPU side of things but let's pull up the next title here at farcry new dawn where the Intel scored 131 average FPS 95 minimum then over to the 3700 X 119 and then an 89 minimum and this is one of those titles that I do believe they are reusing a very old engine that they haven't updated for quite some time so again what we're seeing here with the trends is the games that are optimized and especially when they pay attention to AMD focusing on csgo and also dota 2 we see that either comes very close to the 9900 care in the case of csgo it's beating the Intel CPU and and as I said before csgo that's showing the Zen twos potential can be really good if the developers do optimize their titles for their CPU architecture but now moving over to productivity here's where the 3,700 X starts to flex its muscles a lot more than the gaming benchmarks are pulling up v-ray for you guys first up we've got sixty eight seconds on the CPU score versus 73 seconds on the ninety nine hundred K scoring a five-second advantage and then the GPU scores were the same using that twenty atti then over to Cinebench are twenty the multi-threaded the scores were heavily in favor of the horizon 3000 3700 X and then the single core speeds also showed a big advantage to move at a geek bench for however we saw the single-threaded score actually beat that of the 3700 X on the 9900 K then the multi-threaded score did go to that of the 3700 X move over to 7-zip we saw a victory for the then two CPU both on the compression side and the decompression side and then next up we had koruna 1.3 I like to call it Corona just after that special beer that I usually like to drink once in a while and we saw here one minute and 50 seconds versus one minute and 49 seconds so very close battle in this particular rendering benchmark then over to Adobe Premiere Pro a 4k video render file 50 megabits per second bitrate with a maximum 150 we score 6 minutes and 2 seconds on the intel side vs. 4 minutes and 52 seconds on the 3700 x side of things so this was a big victory for the Zen - CPU then / - da Vinci resolved showed a similar trend with the AMD CPU pulling out by almost a minute in this particular benchmark then the last benchmark to pull up for you guys is the power consumption figures where the 9900 K was scoring around 93 watts and then the 3700 X was scoring 75 watts during a night of 64 stress test idle power consumption at least the initial hold state was 23 watts versus 21 watts and then the temperatures 66 degrees versus 61 degrees so very similar scores except the power efficiency of course does go to the 3700 X so pretty similar scores on everything but the power consumption onload where the 3,700 X did score a significant victory so now summing things up I know there's going to be a few people that are going to ask why even do these benchmarks they're not realistic of what the average person is going to do with these CPUs I thought it'd be a great opportunity to see the way aimed is going at a raw clock for clock comparison and show the differences in IPC where it really came through with the productivity numbers but not so much the gaming numbers and that has to show that gaming side of things needs a lot of optimizations and the engines in fact for gaming a lot of those engines even coming out in 2019 are outdated and that is of course showing with those fps figures but another reason I did this comparison is mainly because Intel's not going to be on 5 gigahertz forever in fact I'd argue that their next architecture is not going to be anywhere near 5 gigahertz so it's great to see that AMD delivered big time with their IPC gains as well as giving much better power efficiency with the latest sent to CPUs and now that does put the onus back on Intel to now pick up their game and get competitive and start bringing something to the market that's gonna bring better value than the 9900 okay as I feel at its price point the $329 3,700 X is much better value for money for the average person it's got better power efficiency comes included with a really good stock cooler and actually testing this in a from video if you want to check that out I'll put the link up here for you guys where the Wraiths prison from pretty much extract the maximum performance out of the 3700 acts without having to go out and buy a water cooler but more importantly one of the best things about the 3700 ex is the backwards compatibility with the motherboards you can go out and buy a cheap be 350 or be 450 motherboard and then couple that with a 3,700 X and you won't be missing out on a whole lot compared to the x5 70 chipset and you'll still be getting phenomenal price performance on Intel side you need a z3 90 to get the most out of the 9900 K and that's something that I don't think a lot of enthusiasts like because in my opinion enthusiast Tech has always been about getting those budget CPUs and extracting the most out of them via overclocking or tweaking and then having them compare against the flagship CPU traditionally I mean times are changing now but at least that element of getting the most out of your money AMD still rings true to that and it's showing in these benchmarks and even in the initial review where I got the 3700 X up to four point three gigahertz all clock anyway with all that out of the way I hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button for us also stay tuned where I'll be testing out the six core horizon 5 3600 look forward to giving you guys some benchmarks on that if you want to see these videos the moment they dropped sub button ring the bell it's down there and I'll also catch you in another tech video very soon but on your way out be sure to check out today's video sponsor wicks where you can build a professional-looking website for absolutely nothing links in the description below with that aside I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye you
