Intel Core i9-9900K 3DMark Time Spy benchmark results appear

[HEXUS]

Its 10,719 CPU-only score beats the Core i7-8700K (7,918) and Ryzen 7 2700X (9,147).

Interesting results, I would really like to see the 9900k and 2700X do a head to head at 4GHz to really show how the two perform.

Nice to see that the 2700X appears to reasonably within 10% of the 9900K so will anticipate real world clocks and performances

The CPU might be an ES as it is running at 3.1GHZ instead of the purported 3.6GHZ though.

That's true, there have been some rumours about that in these reports

Although TBH I seriously doubt the 8C/16T version is going to be faster in gaming than the 8C/8T version and whether the 6C/12T CFL CPUs will be much slower than the 8C/8T CPUs.

Its a bit like the 6C/12T Ryzens agains the 8C/16T ones. Most of the differences seem to be down to clockspeed.

Probably right.

Interesting to see the CPU score and comparison though, considering it can run ~16% faster than the 2700X it achieves a score ~17% higher. Really goes to show the improvements AMD have made in terms of IPC and the stagnation of Intel trying to push as much out of the old architecture. Pinch of salt obviously, considering it is likely an engineering sample being compared.

Dread to think how much Intel is going to try to charge for this though, I imagine it'll be a bit higher than ~17% difference

is this chip under mesh or ring bus interconnect? ...are all i9 utilizing mesh fabric?

So people are just assuming this is a i9 9900K? I see no mention of it in any screenshot.

Well if the i7 isn't going to have HT, that leaves.... the i9 9900K as the supposed suspect here. As per the original article we've only got

Thai overclocker Tum Apisak shared the system configuration via his Twitter feed

information to go on. Obviously any potential leak of information comes with a pinch of salt, as always.

The bit where it says 8 cores and 16 logical threads and there are new Intel processors coming out of which one is an 8C16T i9-9900k makes it a pretty compelling argument that this is for the 9900k...

The 8C/8T version sounds pretty good to me, seeing how alot of games tend to run better on proper cores. Should run cooler than the hyper-threaded versions too I would assume?

Ring, this isn't a HEDT chip.

Probably it will be overpriced.

I assume so.

Doesn't matter, not going to be buying a CPU with 16 PCIe lanes. Threadripper is looking like the smart money, although I'm not liking the sound of having to switch between game mode etc.

I'd pay more for convenience and lower heat output. But number of PCIe lanes per buck comes first.

Curious as to what you use all your PCIe lanes for? 10Gig, PCIe SSD or a RAID card?

I saw that posted on OcUK forums - not sure if true or not??
