Intel's Core i9-9900KS fails to kill AMD Ryzen 7 3800X in Geekbench comparison

[Redaktion]

A Geekbench comparison between an Intel Core i9-9900KS processor and an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X has been shared online showing some surprising results. The Ryzen CPU is soundly defeated in the single-core benchmark test; however, in the multi-core test the 8-core i9-9900KS falls behind its fellow 8-core rival.

RAM Speeds for the 3800x would be interesting, as the performance would quite improve on higher end sticks.

Good RAM (up to a certain point) for Ryzen is like a good OC for Intel.

Not even a realistic comparison, why would they limit the and to the x370 chipset? Not the new 570, or even the 470 in-between...

Biggest glaring issue is crippling the intel with 2133 mhz ram while the ryzen gets over 3000 mhz ram.  That would nerf the intel by about 10% at least. 

Lol at the amd fanboy talking about motherboards.  Ryzen is capped at 4.3 ghz anyways.  The only thing that matters is ram compatibility and anything over 3000mhz will unlock the full performance of ryzen 2.

Not bad for 14nm CPU. I expected bigger gap.

This is fake. 9900KS is Coffee Lake. Kaby Lake is 8th gen mobile laptop CPUs. Also it shows 3800X on X370 chipset. X370 isn't compatible with 3rd gen Ryzen. If you're gonna shop some BS benchmarks for attention, research your s*** first so you don't look like a complete fuckin' moron
